Key Points from the Discussion

Retrograde date displays, while visually interesting, can often be difficult to read on the wrist despite appearing clear in magnified macro shots.
The day of the month subdial at 3 o'clock is distracting and creates an unbalanced aesthetic; swapping its position with the 9 o'clock subdial would improve legibility and balance by placing the retrograde text towards the outer dial.
The styling of the Concord C1 Retrograde does not appeal to all, despite its novelty.
