Why was the first DayDate 40 dial (sunstripe) discontinued?

This is such a gorgeous dial why was it discontinued

Your account has always been suspect. You came out after years of dormancy posting tons of repetitive threads. With the rise of hijacked dormant accounts on here, one can only wonder why.. Most sane people would remember a topic they already discussed.

I had a feeling others felt the same way.

Can't forget his Tudor thread claiming to not know anything about the brand, but yet, he knows more about Indies.

I love that dial. I think the original dials on release of the DD 40mare better than the current selection except for the green lacquer.
