Let's compare it with a Bunde... What do you think? The size, if it bis 45 mm, is not a problem as we saw it with the former 2007 release. I regret the presence of the date... Best, Nicolas...
and there will be little changes before the final product leaves the factory. There have been changes (e.g. date windows) in the past My vote would be: no date, in this case

Marv, indeed, this re-ed is close to some No Rad with date watches. Certanlly, there were more variants with date than without (the Bunde, for example). It´s a matter of taste: I prefer these diver watches without date: Longines Diver, Omega Seamaste...
