Would be a nice looker without the open heart..... they could then put the badly aligned Automatic wording in the correct place at 6 o'clock.

Must admit it is quite a nice looking watch but I am also not sure about the movement window on this style of watch.
Cheers now, Paul

Agree drop the window and it's a nice looking watch. Holes in dials are a no-no for me.

i have no problem with watch-makers breaking the 'rules' about where things are 'supposed' to go on dials. the world would be dull if everything had to line up at 12 and 6 o'clock. so this dial looks interesting to me, and i like the lay-out. the only thing that spoils it imo are those two little satellite screws on each side of the open heart. somehow getting rid of those would make a better design for me.

this isn't really 'the one' but i'd be interested in finding the open heart watch of my dreams...

Agree to some extents, but the word Automatic just looks crammed in and not aligned to anything. Better to drop it altogether as it's pretty evident the watch is an auto anyway due to the gaping hole in the front.
