Pic 2

Please look at the letter"f" in both pictures.  Pic 1 was bought from local AD while pic 2 is the image from reputable forum.  I have refer to few other soures of pictures such as "rolexdiver" from Instagram and some other forum.  May i know is there any variance or inconsistent of the printing on watch dial?

Please advice and thanks

The dial in the second pic is not crisp and sharp, Rolex dial printing is always perfect. Probably is a replica dial. I can be wrong though.
