I'm with you. I see smaller brands doing it well and think it's an inexcusable error on the larger luxury brands.

While I'm complaining, can I touch on tool-less micro adjustment bracelets? Why do so many smaller companies and microbrands do this well when larger companies still aren't using them on much more expensive watches?

Well, there I can name a few that are--my VC Overseas, Rolex's GlideLock, and the new Lange Odysseus.

I succeeded! Got the big boy over to Animal Control, and my goodness he was a fighter. I suspect I'll be back to pick him up in about a week after they check his health and give him shots, and errr... snip.

You've heard of Crocodile Dundee, now we have Kitten Skywatch.

It will sometimes be laziness, but I don’t think it’s as clear-cut as that.

I lusted after this at one point, because of its date window. I loved the white rectangle against the black dial.

I was also pretty sure that it was a conscious design decision because Junghans used dial colour date windows on other models. My assumption was pretty much confirmed when Junghans brought out a white-faced model with a red date window.

Also, I can’t really imagine this with a black date window -

It would look a bit ‘prissy’ - not quite the right word, but the best one I can come up with right now.

A contrast date can look right, a dial colour date can look right - all depending on the watch.

Oh, I agree that a white date window on a black or blue dial for contrast would be a conscious and acceptable solution--my Zenith Captain is that way, too. I'm thinking more about brands that make, for instance, a blue dial watch but still use a black date wheel, where the contrast still sucks plus the color doesn't match.

Gotcha.

Gotcha.

I'm split. Agree with mlcor but also dislike the white date (and cyclops) on a Sub ��
