Looks so much better without the date! Pure and clean design.

No date would be great, but so nice as is that Iโm not sure I care!

There was a very limited edition in titanium without a date. I think it was inspired by an Italian fashion designer or something: there were initials on the dial but I do not remember which ones GL or GW something like that. Probably 40 pieces or so (a re...

A little piece
