Unbiased 5296

As a background, I LOVE the 240 movement. I think it's just the coolest caliber in the market today. However think the 6000 is a poorly designed watch. It just looks to me that they took the 5000 and said "this is too small, how do we make it bigger" and crammed a date pointer on it. It looks unbalanced and, to me, ugly, kinda the unwanted child of a Aquanaut(dial design) and a 5000(movement and related off-center seconds)
