        As someone with a watch with the crown at 8, I'd recommend the Seiko.  Unless you're left handed, the 8 crown position is kind of awkward.

          As a lefty I find an 8 crown a PITA (I wear my watch on the left hand, as you'd see in my WAYWT's).

            I've just found a piece about the new Blancpain Bathyscaphe, and since there are a few fans of the brand around here…

            I'm a fan of the Bathyscaphe, and having seen one prefer it to the Fifty Fathoms. They look a lot nicer than in photos too.

              I always enjoy your posts in this thread, Graeme. Despite the fact that I can never afford them.

                That date window is hideous. 430 who does that? Not even on an hour mark.

                  It's a really common trend.  I've come to hate it, too.

                    Just to be a dick they ought to put it inverted over between 9 and 10

                    Think it, be it.

                      Seanocono, there are an awful lot of things that I post and couldn't afford. Or, in some cases, couldn't justify.

                        And the inverted date window should show the neighbours too…

                            That's quite an expensive gift.  I hope your brother is very appreciative.

                                  Breitling Bentley is fucking serious. A bit ostentatious for me but, it is a beautiful piece

                                    It also features a date window that Snowy and chris can get excited about 😉 😃 😛

                                      ^I hadn't even seen the date window on that bad boy. That's watch is certainly unique!

                                      On the Bathyscaphe, other than the date window, I quite admire it.

                                      Any reason for the trend for 4:30 date windows? (other than it's 30 minutes before home time for 9-5 workers? ?)

                                        I think it's simply to be a bit different from the standard "date at 3" watch face.  The cynic in me would point out that it still uses the standard date wheel out of the parts catalog, which makes it a cheap way to diverge from the norm.

                                        Personally, I think the best placement for the date window is at either 6 or 12.  It makes for a more balanced dial.
