Doesn't matter. When someone asks is this real and the date is obscured I say:

Run Forrest Run!

Does seem quite a coincidence that the minute hand is perfectly placed over the date... What are the chances of that? 60:1?

Hah, I didn't even notice that tidbit. I did wind up the watch a bit, though I didn't set the time or date.

Not only that: it's both the minute hand and the 24 hr hand over the date window. What are the odds of that? 1440:1? ;-)

Sounds like a good day for you to buy a lottery ticket.

I feel people over rate wether a date fills the cyclops in pictures. I agree it can be camera angle or just an aftermarket glass, If the price is right, its a cheap easy fix if the rest if the watch is good. Regards.

To OP, I think I saw this too when I passed by that little shop (next to the taco restaurant, right?) the other day...
