I prefer watches with no date. Once I've looked at the date once in the morning I feel fairly certain that it's going to REMAIN that date all the way until tomorrow.

I am comfortable with the Daytona staying exactly how it is with no date.

No. Don't change what has worked for so many years. A true classic without the date.

I voted yes for the practical reasons, but I really hope they don't...
Only because then I would Have to get another Daytona again

Absolutely not. Let the classic legend stay as it it.

Get Tudor chrono if you need a date. Problem solved.

No date.

With the date it would look too much like the Omega. Its not that I don't like Omega it just would be to common of a watch that has Chrono function with a date mechanism.

I always ask myself why doesn't the Daytona have a date option.

Not a big fan of putting dates on chronographs. I think it makes already busy dials even busier.
