Who needs to know the date

When you are basking in the sun on a beautiful day.
Took some lazy photo's of my girlfriends OP.

Hope you all are having a great weekend !

Nice photos! Since I've retired I not only don't know the date, I have no idea of the day!

The Air-King's big brother. Is this actually a factory dial?

Sounds like you need a day-date...

Very interesting and unusual. I’ve never seen one like this. Approximately what year?

I prefer not have a date complication, also.

I don't care what day/date it is.
Or even what time it is.

All I know is to enjoy and remember happy times.

Wow very cool dial. Love the simple look

I don’t like the date function either. Aside from the symmetry issues I’m focused enough with life to keep track in my head of the date, day of the week, month and year!

Time is what I need from a watch, and sad to say most of the time I get that from my phone

I used to not care about the date function on watches but in reality and denial aside, it's actually very practical. Granted I have a BB58 and Exp I, a date function imo will always trump a time-only watch. Also, that is a very interesting dial
