Hey-I was seriously thinking that I wanted to buy a dsn Fiddy, but his latest pics have a completely different, larger font. Am I imagining a difference or are these two dials different? The first is from his old post (ultimate fiddy), and the second one is from his new (ten reasons to buy your....) comments please.

Are these not different size fonts?

The overall size appears the same, it is the thickness and color of the lettering that seems off.....

The same the picture was taken at different distances.

They're actually pics of two different watches, first one is from the first batch of 'Ultimate Fiddy' from DSN discontinued few months ago, the second is the latest. I actually owned the former and now own the latter (2 days now:)). They have slightly different movements (needle vs dagger regulator), and dial txt color shade.

@bunns
The difference in font is minimal, if any, and not really noticeable to the naked eye. The font on second (the latest Fiddy) is slightly darker, and more matte in finish, and visually appears to be slightly thicker, but more due to the optical illusion caused by darker shade of dial txt.

Hope this helps,
cheers,

I have the same newer Fiddy, should the text color be white or should it be brownish. Mine seems to be brownish I thought the 1950 should be slightly bigger?

It should be ivoryish, not white.

OK Ivorish, so the photo shown earlier shows a brownish color. Are we getting the right colored text or there are Fiddys that have this brownish colored text?
