Show me your "DATE" :-)
I've owned many different watches from "sporty" to "blingy", but I always come back to the sophisticated simplicity of the steel DATE.

It fits my small wrist and goes well dressed up or down.

Please share photos of your "DATES", if you don't mind.

Very sad to have to flip this to fund the purchase of my Sub.

Every so often, I can play, too



A 15037 purchased by me in October of '88 in Switzerland. Originally on a riveted Oyster bracelet with a Champagne dial...it's been through 3 dials since before settling on this one...the Jubilee bracelet was purchased in '06 and refurbed by Michael Young in '07. I still swap back and forth with the Oyster bracelet...and for me, it's like getting a new watch.
