Help - Has anyone seemed this type of Air-King dial fonts?

Hi Gents,
Has anyone seemed this type of Air-King dial fonts? Last photo is the normal Air-King fonts for comparison.

Thanks!

The space between letters alone makes me think that's bad voodoo right there.

Thanks for your follow up Eric! Agreed that this "Air-King" fonts looked unusual and strange to the normal Air-Kings out there.

What do I have here? Incorrect dial? redial?

Odd font of the Air King script for certain.

The red in the Domino's logo looks artificially weathered in that image as well. Here's a real one from HQ Milton's website:

Abdullah71601, thanks for your follow up.. indeed the "Air-King" fonts in question is strange.

My Domino's logo dial is a real one and correct - i have at least 10+ Domino's logo dial watches in my collection, HQ dial a bit faded from silver to creamy patina, and the lighting is different that's all. No doubts there.

Let's focus on the "Air-King" dial fonts in question. Thanks!

The unusual Air King font in Post #3 has now been shown to be a refinish dial, which puts the authenticity of that Domino's logo dial in question. It's not believable that Rolex would print a logo on a refinished dial.
