I'm not sure I would. The white day-date is classic, but also balances the large marker a 9 o'clock.

I would love a no-date dial on this model. That would be stellar.

I'm glad they have a date, missing it would be travesty!

A guy on WUS had it done. White looks better.

The turtle thread must never die. Not much to add, and I can't take pics like Art, but I did get a new flat vent today.

Why's that, Ed? Chasing something new?
If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying 'End-of-the-World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH', the paint wouldn't even have time to dry.

Hey Becky; I don't want you to huff your can of spray tan, so just send me $500 and stay around.

Has anybody here already installed the domed sapphire crystal that was talked about a while ago?
I got the crystal at home now but haven't installed it yet (and don't know yet whether to put it on the blue or the black/gold one). Would love to see some pics of others first before I make the swap...
