Which model has the biggest "ROLEX" dial logo?

Hi all,

That's a question I've been asking myself for a while. I'm talking about the dimension on the word "ROLEX" underneath the crown logo on the dial.

It looks to me that on the Explorer, for instance, it is way bigger than on a DJ.
Each model has its size.
Has anyone figured it out which model has the biggest?

That's just out of curiosity. If Rolex logo is bigger on some models, I'm curious to know what's the design rationale behind having a bigger logo on some models rather than others. Maybe for some series are historically different than others, I don't know...
But design-wise it's worth asking.

Newer models seem to have larger font

Oddly enough, my 16710 has same size logo as my Explorer 2 42mm.

My DJ2 has smaller font than both of the above.

I think the one that stands out the most is the Air-King logo in green.

I did notice that the "ROLEX" logo is larger on my Explorer MK2 than it is on my DJ41.
