Best not get started on date windows ... I don't mind a date but I absolutely detest contrasting date wheels, especially in an otherwise single colour dial. If its a panda dial or similar I can sort of understand it, but a black dial with a white date wheel just grates.
I'd take a miscoloured date wheel over a sideways number not in the same font or style cutting up its neighbours to fit its skinny ass in there. Fuck that.
