Pay attention to the second hands.

How about Citizen ?

I mean the position of the second hand and it's pretty consistent throughout.

I like this

money not enuf la,

but i like the citizen signature grand classic, just admire onli.

I think its a photography trick to make the dial more legible and nicer.

Also it allows the potential customer to see all the hands ....

So Seiko chose 42, Orient 36 and Citizen 35.

Watch makers should seriously consider 8.51 and 8 seconds

nice shots r007, i guess it depends very much on the position of sub-dials and text on the dial.

Here's another 08:51:08 , :lol:

Yah, your position is really interesting too, doesn't cover up the brand and the text..



Maybe I can explore other options...

So Seiko chose 42, Orient 36 and Citizen 35.

good spot!

Yea, I'm just curious why ? Do they represent something significant ? Or it's really purely cosmetic..
