At least the PP 5711 and AP 15202 double markers are only at 12 o'clock
And not as offensive as when scattered around the dial. That said, I did mention in my original criticism of the new OP a few weeks ago that it would have looked better if the 3, 6 and 9 markers were about 1.5 times the thickness of the normal markers. Anyway, different strokes for different folks.

Excellent point! I never realized the Rolex 1019 had a double marker done in that fashion. It's true, you don't hear a lot of criticism of the practice on the Royal Oak 15202 or the Nautilus 5711. Patek Philippe uses the double marker at 12 on a plethora ...

Thank you for the welcome! I've seen your posts and am delighted that it's you who is the first to officially welcome me! I agree, the 36 is flawless, to my eyes.
