And then there's the Fragment solution:
How could he dare to delete 'swiss' from the dial! That's even nastier than to sacrifice the sweeping seconds 😉.
^ Date is fine, just move the Swiss a little closer do the date frame.
I think it's in a decent spot, I realized that the dial was maybe a bit unbalanced with "SWISS MADE" all the way at the bottom so I wanted to place it somewhat centrally.
I'm quite happy with this "fixed" Carrera, so feel free to make your own variations for comparison 😁
Meanwhile.... I've gone ahead and had a bit of fun with it and turned it into an awesome fantasy piece, less elegant perhaps but something awesome. So awesome that instead of just sharing the design here, I'm actually going to reach out to Bamford et al to see if I can have it built!

Right, either way I think it works much, much better than the design they actually released. For me I think I prefer the 'SWISS' a bit further up, to break up the date window's visual heft
Yes, I would even contest that the subdials would look better being recessed than with the protruding ring.
