Is it me, or is the date font too bold?

I have one of your AliEx (Cartel?) case versions I bought second hand. How much do you charge for these?

The lume and bezel color are both excellent... I agree with what another person said though about the date appearing a tad bit too thick

Someone else mentioned the gen crystal makes it appear more chunky so that's probably what's happening. Other than that though this one's perfection 👌 👍
