Abstract
We present two examples of strongly invertible L-space knots whose surgeries
are never the double branched cover of a Khovanov thin link in the 3-sphere.
Consequently, these knots provide counterexamples to a conjectural
characterization of strongly invertible L-space knots due to Watson. We also
discuss other exceptional properties of these two knots, for example, these two
L-space knots have formal semigroups that are actual semigroups.
