You mean without sucken date? Or better date font? or just the cut/shape of the actual date window?

I thought that the sunken date is the nature of the mechanics that go with the watch. Unless you use a completely different movement one is stuck with their relative positions.

Correct me if I am wrong.

Yes i mean the sunken date! Hope in future there come some better watches. On all Navitimer i have seen is the same problem!

All Tricompax versions have the suncken Datewheel due to the thickness of the 7750 movement; the gen uses
a 7753 which is much thinner.
Therefore there is no point holding out for an improvement, there won't be one. Can't see the Chinese tooling up for just this problem.
Yeh I know, it spoils an otherwise beautiful Watch.
If you chose a 12,9,6 Subdial version the Datewheel is ok.

Ask Ruby if she could talk to manufacture and get you something customized...

The Navitimer World has the GMT module which adds thickness below the dial the same way the Tricompax module does.
