The layout of the text is the worst offender in Rolex terms.

Agreed. Likewise, the 42mm PO2500 had one of the best-situated date windows I've seen on a diver.

I have the opposite reaction. The smaller models look too crammed with not enough space on the dial. The larger ones look much better balanced and the dial can breathe. As for the OP's question, symmetry is thrown off by the date and/or cyclops. Up to you if it's an issue. |

Two watches, one movement (ETA 2824). One is 32mm one is 41mm. I guess the bigger one looks more symmetrical, but I prefer the look of the smaller one.

As Adam has shown it is possible to have dial symmetry with a date with/without cyclops.
There are other examples with more complications.

My pet hate us when a manufacturer designs a perfect dial and then drill holes through numbers etc to fit chronograph sub dials.
Fortunately Rolex didn't do this to my SS Daytona.......

If we are talking about dial symmetry, excluding the case and crown, then self-evidently any asymmetric feature such as a date window at 3 (with or without a magnifier on the crystal - that's the crystal, not the dial) by definition renders the dial asymmetric. If you follow my drift.
My current squeeze, and I think the dial symmetry is a large part of why I like this watch so much: https://www.rolex.com/watches/oyster...4300-0003.html |
