Then there is a common splayed coronet here:

Now the two controversial ones....and the last one is especially controversial, as it questions the short run touted by folks
see last but one, old thread !!
I believe this traditional coronet version/font below, differs to the one above, so that might makes 3 std dials :

And then, wait for it, the Matte Pallettoni, a full set here:

All but my third one are discussed here including another member (chopperboys) 1985/6 matte full set here:

There is also the comex here :

One last observation, be careful..... there are 74 for sale on C24 and at least 3 (4%) have fake dials !!
Interesting stuff. I don't see any here that are the so-called Mark I dial, with the "Z" at the beginning of "Submariner." I assume that's yet a different variation.
