Actually, I would never buy a watch with a date complication, new, if there were a no-date option...

Interesting perspective - is that out of design considerations?

I'm not a fan of the Kraken either but you just have to get used to some things. 😀

No you don't, that's the point. You can fit the tropic crystal, have the cyclops removed or indeed buy a no date model.

See, the no date thing appeals to me on many levels. There's no wart, a better balanced dial, and if you get the non-chronometer version there's less scribbling on the dial about a supercalifragilisticexpialacosco accurate caliber.

I still know what day of the week it is without a watch (that's a surprise) 😁

Oddly enough, neither does Sandy.

While I certainly prefer non-date vintage watches, I have no problem with a well executed cyclops lens.
