...and I agree that the retrograde dates could have been smaller and away from the perimeter a little more. But to do that, the logo/name would have to be either moved or eliminated.
Question: when will a manufacturer have the nerve to take their name/logo off the face of a watch?
The buyer knows what brand it is. An onlooker can't read it anyway and would most likely just ask the wearer what it is.
Putting the logo/name on the back would free up much needed dial space and allow for showing information in new ways.
