The reference number is for a non-chrono Superocean 46.

:yeahthat
Please explain date font. Only thing I get from it is that it is not centered, the 11 is off center/closer to the top of date window???

Keep up the good work...
Regards.

The date font error in this case is the width of the number. At other times it will be the actual type of font used such as Sans Serif, Roman etc.

The first pic below is of a genuine SOHC. Check the boldness and width of the #1 in the date. You will see that it is wider than the replica in the bottom picture which I think is the same replica watch as posted by Vintage.

Here is the rep back revealing the incorrect ref number.

@thomasenlow1 I'm from Little Rock but born in the great state of Texas (Marshall). It was a tough transition from " Hook em Horns to "Go Hogs" :D

Sold for €299. I assume the buyer knew they were getting a replica.
