The fonts are very slightly thinner have to look really hard.The E in the Deepsea has a very slightly shorter middle stroke.The S has changed from a flat to a more round S.The ft font is slightly different and the Rolex coronet is very slightly different plus slight difference in dial colour and some fonts are one mm spaced different.But over the past 40 odd years there have been some slight font changes to many models so no big deal either dial.

Thanks a lot! Do you happen to have any link to pics...?

I also heard that some are more matte and some are more glossy..I certainly prefer a 'matter' one myself (I know it's not a word )...is it true?
