GMT and Sub date wheel

Hi all just a quick question is the text on a sub date wheel thicker than on a GMT pepsi.

Cheers

Richard

It depends on what series over the years there have been several different type of fonts used.

I've noticed that the date on my Sub LV appears to be larger and more crisp than my 16700 GMT Master. It is almost like the Sub has a bold font type.
