·Sorry I meant, than standard date at 3? But I wouldn't mind a bit of Hasselhof too. I'm guessing he would be hoffing somewhere with some Baywatch babes if you are looking..

·I normally don’t wear a watch as Kit tells me the time, but when I do wear one, I prefer a Longines with date at 12
And yes, to my knowledge the date at 12 is less common that other variants, but it was in several lines of their watches, so prices vary.

·Yes 12 is rare. 3, 4:30 or 6 o’clock on the dial are the most common but manufacturer's are creative with date placement like in the middle of the dial, using hands to indicate the date, etc

for me it is no date > 6 O’clock > 12 O’clock
And never 3 or 4
Generally I think dates cheapen the look of a watch
