Mine mostly sits at around 10 to or 5 to 12.

It will reach 12 o clock when the outside temp is perhaps 8c and above.
 
My thermostat is not great so generally the needle sits at 10. It climbs to 11 on a long uphill section. It never gets to 12. Torque shows temps between 60 and 75°C.
 
Mine was mostly between 10 and 11 o'clock, rising to nearly 12 if I drove up the Eiger in first. Changed the thermostat and now it reaches bang-on 12 inside about 3 miles and my feet start to smoke. Improved fuel consumption and engine sounds better too.
 
12 o'clock .. or a smidgen 'to'
@ current w.yorks ambient temps. .. 5c / 8c aprox. daytime noon-ish
