A subtly brilliant design for sure which only the smartest and most handsome people will appreciate fully.
It doesn’t bothers me at all...
I go for the overall looks of a watch but would complain the most if a date at 4:30...a no no for me.
Lovely collection
I wish PP would add the date complication of your 5524 to a 5522

Oops wrong metal, sorry
Understand how you feel, but I would love a 5522A with the date.

It really depends on the design of the dial
If the dial design is made up of Arabic hour markers, then I would prefer an eaten 6 versus a dot. It is more coherent for me. I find the dot out of place and a bit unnatural of the majority of hour markers are Arabic. An eaten 6 kinda feels as though there is more thought put into it — if you get what I mean. However when you get a combo ( 3,9,12 baton or da dauphine markers) then it gets a bit more debatable and boils down to personal preference. I still prefer the eaten 6, as I find the 12 hour marker corresponding to a dot a little unbalanced. The Shapiro photo you posted has a design that works extremely well, one that is ‘widely approved’ and people are familiar with. Without the 5,6,7 hour markers seems to be visually ok. Ultimately, it is really what aesthetics that resonate with you the most and if the design is coherent.
Here, the eaten 6 maximises the size of the sub-seconds dial at the same time as retaining the function of the 6 numeral. And it's a very beautiful watch.
I really don't mind, but just realized that many of mine avoid the problem...I do have an eaten 7,8 and 10 though ;)
Thank you Nico , it a killer :) I sold one a few ago and had huge regret so bought another one within a year - it had to be nicer to exorcise the demon ;) [nt]

We often make the same mistake. I did it with the Rolex Yachtmaster. ;) [nt]

The Breguet is special in a way that I don't believe I've seen anyone comment on and I bet people are missing:
If I understand it correctly, the cut out is exactly 3 minute markers wide. So, main dial may be perfectly read as one missing minute is at the right edge of the cutout, the next is at the middle where the cutout's own marker is, and the final minute is read at the right edge of the cutout.
That, at least, is how I understand it and if so, I think Breguet deserves some credit for it.

That is a really interesting fact that I was not aware of and makes sense now that I see it. Thank you [nt]
