Too funny Matt, and Mike !! :grin:

A lot of times in a case like this it would be easier to maybe just make
it a no date right?! Plus the unique font of the numbers wouldn’t have
to be cut into. But I guess they, as well as a lot of brands just figure
that customers will want a date. Nevertheless, it is funny seeing just
how determined watch companies are to fit the date in any way they
can.

Want to thank you for the laugh, as well as the look at this one sir !!!

Really appreciate it. :salute: Honestly, is an incredibly cool looking
watch all the way around even with the punctured “4”. :)

MG RASMUS owns the crown protector at 4 but more towards Seiko 6105.

I mean this shit is unbeatable in my book, if it was done by a micro we’d still be laughing
wait, is that real or a 4/1 joke?


edit - nevermind. I never realized how goofy the P01 actually is/was.

edit: "I'll put it at 3:05!"

Well shoot. I just replied to AT's thread that a new Citizen had the worst date placement I've ever seen. That's no longer the case now that I've seen this.
