100% agree with you. The date on a dial of any time only watch is in my opinion always out of place and without meaning. It especially ruins chronographs for me. IMO the date only makes sense on a triple date or perpetual / annual calendar (more so the latter). Excellent point on this watch though.
Don't let this deter you from the swatch group. Very sad happenings but in life all things must be accepted. Perfection is an ideal that exists in mathematics but has no real life application. Again only the best wishes and a return of your beautiful FF
Does anyone have any specs on the new cal 758? I'm not too familiar with JLC. I have heard that its based on the cal 751 (column wheel) though an I'm looking for more info than whats included in the press release i.e. 65 hr power reserve, 47 jewels & 340 components. Is this a shuttle and cam chrono
