Can someone correct me if I'm wrong please. But i believe that in the OP mixed up the Old vs New date wheel for the diver. I've been doing a ton of research and I've concluded that the font thats called "new" here is actually the old font and vice versa. Here is a link to mikey's own findings. http://www.repgeek.com/showthread.php?277073-Matching-Datewheel-Font-to-watch-series-(diver-chrono)
Like i said please correct me if I'm wrong and I'm sorry to be that guy.
I do appreciate OP putting so much effort into making this post and taking all these detailed pictures. This is truly a valuable post.
Yeah, good catch.
