1601 & 1603 marker and 'swiss' made variances

i notice there is quite a number of marker differences from stick to wide to bevelled etc.. are these all original Rolex or are some knock offs? -- just wondered if there was a photo library someone can look up to see all the Rolex original variations

Also noticed that the at the bottom center of the dials are either:

T SWISS T

O T SISS T O

T SWISS MADE T

Again are the above legit variations?

And finally noticed the type sizing of the

OYSTER PERPETUAL
DATEJUST

vary in sizes in the dials I have seen, again is this normal Rolex productions variances.

Just trying to look out for fakes/knock-offs. Any advice appreciated. Thanks!

Check the Dial archive on VRF for good examples.
