I like the horizontal markers, but I like the crown on the right. Call me crazy.

Crazy.

It's balance

I don't understand. How do the horizontal markers make the left hand crown look not wrong???

Visually the match the case more, running parallel, with the LH crown acting as a counter weight/ balance. If a RH crown then it would be loaded more one side. If RH crown and horizontal markers the dial would look to sparse & your eyes will subconsciously be drawn to the RH crown.

Of course I have no idea what I'm talking about & it's all opinion based

I kind of get what you’re trying to say @McBeardy but I also fall in the right sided crown brigade.

The fact appears to be that the crown on the left gives the false impression that the watch isn’t slab sided. They moved the crown instead of making the effort to slim it down.

Well the calibre11 is thinner than the h02.

Fair enough, but you did suggest it looked slab sided without the crown on the left. Wasn’t my opinion.

Anyway, it’s a cool looking watch, especially when you see the dark blue dial photos.

Maybe we should hold a seance and ask Steve for permission to make a navy dial?

Technically I own the trademark to the title as I aptly named it, albeit with Rob thinking the same but hadn’t mentioned it. 😀

I would definitely consider a purchase of said French Edition Monaco, if the price was kept reasonable.
