It Happened...

I looked down at my watch for the date... Doh! I'm wearing my Daytona.

First time for everything.

That would have been a neat complication for Rolex to have added to the Daytona and introduced at Basel.

We are all creatures of habit.

I have my 14060m and my 114270 with no dates and after a little time wearing my 116200, I find myself glancing at my Sub and Exp for the date, but it's an easy transition.

We humans may be creatures of habit, but we are also flexible and adaptable.

nice! That means the chrono would have a use. I certainly don't use it for anything else.
