Ok it's odd other than on Puretime... I can't find any other reference that mentions this font.

Here you can see the 2 different font.
The Project X is a H serial (Left)
The V7 is an I serial (Right)

...thanks for clarifying, I thought my AP I serial v6, (must be a transitional v6/v7 hybrid), was wrong and had a big tell. Good to know that AP changed their font and that was reflected on the I series, although I prefer the larger flat top and fat font.

Also an interesting article that mentions the font. In addition, his watch had dial,bezel and tang flaws that were replaced under warranty by AP for being out of spec. Flaws even on a gen AP, what what?!

Where is the information about AP using this font for I seriel on the Interne? Do you know? I'm trying to get a source which isn't one of the TD's.

Just take a look at Chrono24 - tons of them for sale which show the date font for I serials. That's how I really found out.

Sounds like there were at least 3 variations on the gen... 2010-2011, 2012-2013 and current 2014-present?

Interesting. I went to an AD and saw on display two AP's with different DW. Seems its correct. Also noticed online a few youtubers that had AP divers with similar fonts. Can I post videos?

Totally... when I was talking to the AD he was shocked I knew so much. Said I shouldn't look in to such detail as I will find mistakes with everything then which I found a bit odd.
