Accident, poor design or lack of care?

Ok folks, here's a close up of the dial of my lean, mean, green timekeeping machine [along with, unfortunately, my rather freckly and very white wrist]:

Look closely at the complications....

The date dial and the day dial both flip the orientation of the wording/numbering so that the information is presented in a manner readable without causing oneself severe neck spasms by attempting unhealthy contortions, :lol:, however the month dial does not do that! OK, so it's not something I'm going to report to the FBI, but I was wondering if other models have the same issue?

And before anyone bothers to ask, yes I DO know the months of the year by heart and WILL be able to tell what month it is when May comes around without breaking my neck...

:T

But it's a curious oversight, nevertheless!

Comments?

Well, logically [to me at least] all the dials on the same product should match in the way they handle the same 'problem'....

I agree with the "it's not an issue" statement in regards to overall function, however it IS an issue from a QA/QC and aesthetics point of view. If they're going to take the trouble to flip the print on 1 dial, they should flip the print on ALL dials.

Just the anally retentive point of view from someone who has in the past been in the QC/QA game.



Really? Are you absolutely sure you are seeing what I'm saying? The day dial flips the orientation of the print of the days on the lower half of it's dial, but the month dial doesn't flip the orientation of the print of the months on the lower half of it's dial...

[don't try saying that at home, children]

:blink:

Anyhoo...
