Personally, I think you just wanted to buy a submariner. Can't say that I blame you.

I'm the one who prefers the date window. With all the shit on my mind and people driving me mental I always forget what the date is and always use my watch to reference the date. I don't like watches with cyclops though. The best position for the date window is 6 o'clock for me.

My sentiments exactly, Danny.

Far too many companies overlook the date at 6 option. Looks the classiest without messing with the dials symmetry

Whoa, that's awesome. Congrats Matt. You have a day date watch anyway. Wear the hell out of it.

IWC has this triple date window to address this phenomenon. People seem to love it.

But I guess a ND sub is also an option. Nicely done...

I thought the problem was the cyclops. If so, different problem.

Totally agree the people love it though ;)

Rolex doesn't need the triple date window since their date wheel actually fits their cases. :thumbsup:

Yes, just like some loved these looks (for a while):

I doubt all that many actually like the triple date crescent, though. It just seems like something that the more faddish companies will push for a while before they come up with the next dumb trend.

How could you forget this:

Hush, hush, shy, shy, eye to eye
Hush, hush, shy, shy, hush, hush

Modern medicine fall short of your complaints
Ooh, try a little harder
You're moving in circles, won't you dilate
Ooh, baby try

Hey girl, move a little closer

'Cause, you're too
Shy, shy, hush, hush
Shy, shy, hush, hush
Shy, shy, hush, hush

Serious pickup. Who cares if you don't know the date, were just happy you can still see the time, old man.
