    Yes - date windows should be at 3 or 6, 12 at a push, and maybe, possibly, but most likely not at 9. Why put it anywhere else?! Looks asymmetrical.

    This thread!
    Pretty much the same that irks me, then
    Generally I'll 'forgive' date windows in other positions IF (and only if) they read horizontally (9 through 3).

    As for starting the thread: As per opening post, quite used to seeing date windows in bottom-right quadrant and was a bit baffled by the Presta; just wondered how many others had them in 'odd' positions. Turns out they're not that unusual.
