Yorch1,
I know what you mean about the DSN Fiddy Font. I received mine last Monday:
The "M" looks more like "I V I" (exaggerated) upon closer inspection
The "N" looks more like "I \ I", etc...
The corners are split. Your dial pic shows it clearly if you look closely at it.
Like you, I have no plans of returning it (although DSN is currently replacing it due to a movement problem). DSN's service has been great.
I'll pm you a pic of the dial when I receive the replacement. But I will probably replace the dial later, unless I can figure out how to paint the font off-white.
