I have a question: in a past thread, someone mentioned that the date apertures don't sit at the same level, one is slightly lower than the other. Can you OP or anyone confirm this?

On mine it appears the right date aperture window sits a touch “deeper” than the left date aperture window.

In other words, the “1” in “10” looks closer to the dial surface versus the “0” in “10”.

Apologies in advance if the below picture does not reflect this well (tried my best to capture).

Correct and normal. There are two overlapping date wheels. This is how they fit the large date in a small space.

Stunning! I've been considering a proper dress watch and that one really stands out. Congratulations!

If it helps sway you, I’ve been wearing the L1 around the house in sweats and hoodies and it still works. I think it’s more versatile than just “dress watch”
