One of my local watch stores recently put a used PP 3710/1A-001 up for sale (the asking price is $56,900 if anyone is interested).

I cringed when I saw the date wheel though. I have become accustomed to obsessing over every small detail in our reps. The bold appearance of the date wheel and the left justification seems hard to swallow in a gen.

Anyways, I thought it was interesting. Here she is:

$57k, you would really appreciate a centered datewheel. Honestly, I've got better ways to spend $57k.

For $57k you can have this GS SGBZ003 and not even have to be concerned with a centered datewheel - or any datewheel.
