Really very fine...

What I call a "Father's Watch" I'd happily wear every day. Very loudly reminds that the date on a dial is….. an ify proposition, changes the game entirely. The proportions, here, are so good that the watch achieves that sense of completeness without doing anything extraordinary. Any more "white space" and the dial would look like a wasteland. Any larger, and the numerals would no longer "push" against the bezel, broadening the watch's apparent diameter. And they'd then take away some of the impact of those blued hands. 


I've said too much; the watch says it all. Congratulations!   FH

And also an interresting font used for the dial.
