Great help
Thanks a lot.
Pointer date is when a hand aim a day number.
I thought that the term was only with watches with a large hand that reach the outer ring of a dial where the days displayed to 31 days.
So small day hand pointers, sometimes seen also in a sub dial are pointer dates too.
Far more elegant than a window cut out of the dial and a white date disc hidden under the dial turn when a day ends.
I will no longer collect watches with a date window, because pointer dates and dateless watches are doing it differently. Here i cut myself in my fingers, when i always want a perpetual calendar with a year notification in a window like a IWC portuguese perpetual calendar. Let’s say, i make an exception for such a watch.

A real gem: Daniel Roth Premiere Retrograde
NOS from 2022! Dear Mates, without much further ado, please let the photos to speak instead of me: What an eggshell-coloured dial! I am in love! Please see the vertical guiiloched dial, the heated blue hands, the arabic numerals filled with superluminova!...
Well,
there is no date window if you have a pointer date. Thanks for your compliments!
Great help

I totally understand your point of view, Weems!
There is nothing more frustrated than an unpositioned date window, but sometimes it works: the big dates by Glashütte Original or Lange&Söhne are very characteristics. As for the pointer date: they are usually on the outer ring of the dial - like at the M...
Bingo
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 pos...
Thank you very much, Dear Fabr!
Yes, indeed, the watch has its own character! It must be produced originally from the beginning-mid 90-ies till the beginning of the 2000’s!
Wow, what a find
Congratulations on finding this hidden treasure! It looks really good on your wrist.
Many thanks!
They have only one Daniel Roth left - please send me a pm if you are interested in.
Merci bien, mon Ami!
Well, interestingly, I didn’t like this particular model that time, in the 2000’s. But fast 20 years later, I love it more and more, I find it still modern and interesting!
Wow excellent find my friend .
I really love these retrograde DRs a lot and your NOS one is amazing One of mine says hi ...
Many thanks for your compliment, my Friend!
Well, yours is also very, very beautiful! Is it also from stainless steel?
They were always a favorite of mine...
...as I like unusual case shapes. I just couldn't afford one when they were new : )
They were also my favourites from
the very first time when I jumped into the world of horology. At that time, after the economical crisis in 2008, Daniel Roth watches were very, very cheap at the grey market, even the new ones.
Thanks!
Well, the octagonal shape of Daniel Roth watches is a common feature for the brand!
Great catch my friend, absolutely charming DR, great catch 👍
The honey color strap is perfect, very nice combo with this delicious candy 👌
Merci bien, Mon Ami, merci!
Well, I had luck, it is really not easy to find a new, NOS exemplar nowadays. As for the strap, I am with you: matches perfect to the colour of the dial.
Thank you so much,
I am really enjoy the watch, it wears very comfortable and makes me happy whenever I looked at her!
Well, actually,
this Model is not so early, because the Master already left long ago the boat when it was first produced! The early models was produced only in gold and mainly with handwounded Lemania movement, they were mainly chronos. But I agree with you: all DR watch...
