116610Lv clasp engravings

Hi all,
Friend just got this for his sub from a known watch shop that os not an AD but sells Rolex and is also an Omega AD
The only concern is the slight difference in the engraving left and right of the crown
The left seems to be slightly more edgy
Any help would be appreciated

Can't really tell from the photos, sorry.

But, the old adage holds true...buy the seller, not the watch.

The clasp on my BLNR looks the exact same.

Appears to be slightly different on both sides of the crown, but if I rotate it back and forth and let it catch the light at different angles it appears to be symmetrical.

I think you're fine

I don't remember exactly when nor how long but I know Rolex went from shiny to matte to back or shiny within a short timeframe recently.

Agree. They were matte for a couple of years. I think they went to shiny back in 2015.
