Hello

I have sen two different fonts on original bezels,
my F series from 2005 had a Pepsi with number 1, 2 and 4 with
a little "tail" in the end.
I had it changed at an AD in 2006 for a red/black and it has
a different font without the tails in numbers 1, 2, 4.
I have seen an other F series with original red/black and it had
"tails", now i brought an all black, and it was without the "tails".
For me it seems that the font had changed somwhere in 2004-05

Here is a picture, sorry for the crap quality (pocket camera)

All 3 bezels are original, in Finland we gan luckily hold the old
one if you have it changed at an AD

Interesting comparison!

It is perfectly normal to see differences on the GMT bezel, especially where the colours "cut" the 18 and 9.

Other differences on the GMT II's are variations of the "II" (II vs. ||).

Here is a ""Z" bezel font.. It looks look plain, no tails.
However, the dial font is different
