Wondering about the SKD...

I was wondering about the dial layout of the Skydweller and why Rolex decided to place the reference time disc off-centre instead of centred.

Perhaps it would interfere with the date window, but surely they could have made the reference time disc just fractionally smaller if needed?

Perhaps the calibre cannot accommodate a different position for some technical/practical reason?

Anyway, IMHO I think the layout would have been a knock-out if the reference time was centred, perhaps moving the red triangle to the inside of the disc, dropping the word "Rolex" and respacing the 4 lines below the centre.

No practical benefit of wishing/debating, just thinking.......

I think there must be an engineering reason for this. I also, don't mind the placement...

Maybe to be unique, centered would be everyones first place to put it.
