Imagine this
Imagine walking into a watch startup company and being told they have a great watch for me.
They show me an easy to read flyback Chronograph. I say “The 1, 11 & 21 markers are missing, they ask “Is that important? I reply “Yes of course.” Anyway, I go back in a week later and they show me the same watch, but they’ve taken the flyback function out and also the 9, 19 & 29 markers to balance the previous missing markers out. Not only that, now the dial’s not so easy to read. Is this a good model to build watches around? Do you think a watch like this could ever take off? Then it struck me, as I looked down at my Daytona... |

Well done Prakhon.
Yes our beloved hard to read, non flyback Daytona has missing 1, 9, 11, 19, 21 & 29 markers on the minutes sub dial. Only a luxury Chonograph would accept this, a tool Chronograph certainly wouldn’t. I’m not knocking, just saying. |
