Handdate is the right word for such a complication.
The discussions about dates are often here at the community.
If i would stand in the shoes of the houses than it would drive me crazy.
For example the houses that put the date window at the 5 o’clock position or between 4 and 5 o’clock on one of their models are in wild waters.
I know in my head a model from VC an Overseas that have the date window positioned on an uncommon spot. Would u skip it for it?
