I’m a sucker for asymmetric cases, but that date window….

I wouldn't mind the date window so much if they had at least used a black date wheel.

The white wheel just sticks out like a sore thumb on the black dial.

I love the look of no dates(wearing one now) and no matter how much I use it I can't seem to just remembering the date and wish my watch had a date window.

I totally agree with you. I dont mind date wheels at all and use them regularly if there is one. Im wearing my Ranger no date today and often look at it wishing that it had a date on black wheel with text matching the number on the dial. My SMP 2254.5 has one of the best examples of a date wheel - its a black wheel with white numbers.

Ordered one. Have had several Marathons over the years and the date window placement has never bothered me. I’ve always wanted this one in stainless. Also signed up for the mailing list and got an additional 10% off, free hat, and free shipping.
