    How much value is there in a symmetrical watch face when you don’t recall the date?

    3 - the only truly excellent watch in the group

    The rest are technically inferior and their finishing poor.

    This is referring to OP 39 I think, so 1.

    1. Who cares what the date is?
    2. Check it once a day when you wake up. It doesn't change again until you wake up again tomorrow.
    3. Much more value in a watch that looks good.

    If symmetry is so important, I’ll bet your steering wheel is in the middle of your front seat, and you wear watches on both wrists, :)

    My guess is @base615 checks his phone when he needs the date. I used to always wear a watch with a date complication, but now that I carry a phone I prefer the symmetry over not having to pull my phone out.

    Hang on, your steering wheel isn't in the middle of your front seat?

    That’s correct! But symmetry isn’t as important to me as it seems to be to you. So my steering wheel is on the left.

    Sounds pretty uncomfortable to drive if you have to reach over to your left to hold the steering wheel

    Double "wrist"ing should be legalized after all :)

    Youa are quite right, and good spot! Many apologies, that'll teach me to proofread!

    That said, 1 and 3 are pretty similar at a glance

    This is the result as of now after complex mathematical computation :).I think, there are 2 winners. Moonwatch and BB58, so to say :).

    I'll play along. If money were no object...

    5- Just love the Moonwatch. 'Nuff said.
    2- The BB is my favorite/most desired Tudor so brick or not, I'd be happy.
    1- Rollie 39 White; I prefer the darker dials but in 39mm the white works for me and I can't stand the 'eye' on the DJ or Date models, any era.
    4- Love Zenith, Not my favorite color combo but nice.
    5- R.M. Now if only this had been the 1957 edition... ;)
    6- G.S. I find many, not all, but many of the contemporary G.S. lineup to just be underwhelming, to me, this one is no exception.

    5 - 4 - 1 - 6 - 2 - 3 this is the order I would have these.
