Exactly
Exactly what I was trying to say. That overlap works perfect and the functions are a hundred percent. Why o why did they do a new o erlap system? Makes absolutely no sense. Must have been a brain fart on the design teams side. With all the great watches there putting out. All we can hope for is a new dial layout In 2012.
For all of those who do own these models how hard was it to get over the design? Also would it be better to wait for next year or just deal with what is out there.(not that I'm getting two zenith this yea( haven't finished paying of the first one
but nevertheless should I wait and see or is that dial overlap here for the foreseeable future?
Thanks
How are u handling the chrono overlap?
At first I thought everyone was being to nit-picky on the issue of the overlap. I was wrong. It is amazingly annoying. I was thinking of the stratos and especially the alchron version, but the the overlap killed me. It seems though the overlap is an inten...

I haven't
I'm not a fan of this type of overlap. I could tolerate the seconds minutes over hours one. The Captain Chrono and Defy handle the issue well by reducing the size of the hour subdial. But also the date at 6 is a serious problem for me.
Well, date at 6 permits to hold the head straight, at least ....
... while it always was so uncomfortable to twist either arm or head in order to read the date numbers upright, as long as the date window was located at 4:30. Personally, I think it was a good decision to relocate the date window. Now the dial appears mo...
another gripe I have with the date
is that placing it at 6 highlights how small the movement in relationship to the dial, in a way it looks like it lifts the center of the watch. In general I don't want to see other numbers where I'm expected to read the hour.
