      @Graeme:

      Date windows are one of those things that seem to be really hard to get right. I prefer watches that don't have them these days.

      I'm starting to feel the same way, especially since it seems like so many manufacturers insist on putting the date window at 4:30, which I despise.

          I prefer 12 or 6. Just seems to make for a more cleanly balanced dial to me.

            I know the layout on my Type III isn't for everyone but it sure makes for great legibility. Case in point, 6 & 12 o clock dates work well.

              Generally speaking, the small seconds isn't one of my preferred complications, but that one is really nice.  And I agree- very legible.

              EDIT: The more I look at it the more I like it.  This may be my new favorite Sinn.

                nice watch, @Anesthetist .I like it's simplicity

                Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
                Well, I have others.

                  Thanks! Anesthetist. 36mm, excellent choice.
                  Wifey initial reaction when she saw it, "looks like an old man's watch." She's right, it's a keeper, cos I can see myself looking good wearing it when I'm a very old man. Haha!

                    And @ijpx's Rolex hasn't got a date window on it to distract. 😛

                    Nice Explorer. I'm with @Anesthetist when it comes to watches of that size.

                      And any watch that can make you smile is a good watch. [emoji4]

                        Speaking of date windows, Omega have just announced an annual calendar version of the Globemaster.

                        I'm in two minds about the months around the dial. It looks wrong, but I found the standard Globemaster to be a bit sterile. The typeface has a slightly whimsical sixties vibe, which gives the piece a bit of character.

                          Have to agree, the months looks wrong, just looks like a messy afterthought

                                  Very nice, Neil - these are a lot of watch for the money, imo.  Tempted by some of the second hand prices I've seen for the blue and red bezel versions…

                                    I applaud Omega for trying something new; I've definitely never seen that before.  As you say, it has a slightly whimsical sixties vibe, and I think the bezel fits nicely with that feel.

                                    Don't think I'd want to wear it, though.

                                      Congrats on the Black Bay @Cutlasshound it's a very classy look, and if it had been available when I bought my red one, it would've been a tough call which to choose.

                                        Cheers chaps. Did try on the red and blue also, both of which were lovely. The fact that the black is limited tipped me over the edge…...
