IWC 3714 on eBay

[LupTak]

Hey Guys,

I'm quite new with IWC's but while researching I came across these two listings on the bay and am wondering.. Were the font's on the gen changed at some point in time? IWC guru's please enlighten me..

Watch listing: Hour fonts look incorrect.. Especially the "2" @ 12 & 2 where the tip over extends and curves too much..

Dial listing: Hour fonts look incorrect.. Especially the "2" @ 12 & 2 where the tip over extends and curves too much..

Gen from IWC site:

Yes. The dial had a minor cosmetic change about 5 years ago.

Major differences are:

Curve of the "4"
Applied numerals (newer) vs embossed (older)

The ones on eBay are the older dials

Does the same apply to the fish on the crown and polished case back?
