Watch design is subjective, and what one person finds cluttered, another might find visually engaging. The intricate layout of the dial certainly adds complexity and information to the overall design.

I appreciate your detailed perspective! While “flaw” might be a strong term, I understand your preference for a closer integration between the strap and the case. You’re absolutely right about the impact of drilled lug hole placement and curved spring bars. Drilling them higher up can undoubtedly achieve that seamless look you mentioned, contributing to a more unified aesthetic.

It’s interesting to see how seemingly minor details like this can significantly impact our perception of a watch’s overall design. Thanks for sharing your insights!
