India Whiskey Charlie's original post delves into a design detail often overlooked by casual observers but critically important to collectors: the occlusion of hour markers by subdials or date windows. This aesthetic choice can significantly impact a watch's legibility and overall visual balance, sparking a nuanced discussion among enthusiasts about design priorities and personal tolerances. His inquiry invites readers to consider how such design elements influence their perception of a timepiece's craftsmanship and wearability.

Stick indices anyone?
I love the traditional symmetry of the triple date moon phase. Breitling has very compelling offerings this year.
The shortened markers for the 29 and 31 seconds / minutes track which make them indistinguishable from fractions of a second / minute is just as jarring.
I know of some Patek with less numerals showing!
