Picked up a new Erika’s original to fit the Sealander.
That’s a really nice pairing!

Fantastic! This is a good looking watch. Is there a ghost position where the date setting ought to be?

I picked up this strap for my C63, but I think it’s a perfect pairing with my C65 TV! It may not see much time with the C63.

Since November 8, the Bel Canto is now in my collection, but I haven't really had it on my wrist yet, because I was undecided if I will keep the watch. Sometimes it is love at second sight :-)

So today is the actual premiere, and the Bel Canto from now on released to wear ;-)

Glad it’s staying and looks lovely on that camel leather strap (I must get on) :clap:

You’ll get used to the gentle reminder of the passing of time every hour… it’s very comforting :D

HAHA :lol:
That actually isn't a joke. A lot of brands use the NH35 in no date models and there is still a position 2 on the crown even though the date is not there. Some actually leave the date wheel on there and you can feel it move. They refer to this as a 'ghost date'. With the SW200 it is possible to modify the movement so that there is no date setting position turning it into a no date. Position 1 winds and position 2 sets the time. Since the Dartmouth is done correctly (removing the ghost date) I would guess that they did this here too.

Have just checked it out. It doesn't feel like there is a hidden date....
