Exceptions sometimes prove the rule! And sometimes a dial combination still works.

For example, I am absolutely not a fan of date windows and certainly not at the 4:30 position.
Now, almost two weeks ago, I bought a Blancpain Fifty Fathoms with a dial showing exactly that: a date window at 4:30! But in this special case in combination with the applications and markers, it works and I like it.
So I can understand your attitude and opinion and I am in the same situation from time to time.
And even our dear Nico owns some nice watches with date windows. 😎
All the best

For me the BIG PILOT’S HERITAGE WATCH 55 is a very positive example how to design a dial tastefully. 😊

… and some others not this damned “Automatic” written on the dial. For me personally a no-go, and so, for me, many otherwise desirable iterations ultimately fall through the rust…
Are used to be of the same mind Regarding automatic.

However I have thought about it more and looked at the dial more and I think they put that word automatic there to balance out the dial. It may be a good thing.I try not to let it bother me because I have a number of big pilots and I I want to keep a good...

Gets lots of wrist time… there’s no accounting for taste.
