How are you doing guys? I just purchased a R serial 168000 submariner for myself and I noticed the “ORIG ROLEX DESIGN” text ontop of the reference number is slightly to the left compared to other ones I’ve seen. The 1 is right under and between the R and O; the last 0 is between the G and N. The reference number is centered having the Pearl at 12 right between 168 and 000. Is this normal or something to worry about. Everything else seems to match and the engraving is also deep and clean. Please let me know if this is something I should worry about or it’s normal on some of these. Have never seen it before. Thank you in advance!

clear pictures pls? Both sides, you can cover the last digits of the serial number.

Welcome to the Forum
Should be OK, common.
..but as Swaini3 requested, pics would be better for final confirmation.

The 168000 had the extra 0 added as it was a transition between the 16800 and 16610, so most of them are going to look like they are not centered.
