I also wanted a color matched date wheel since it was available. So I asked my wife if she wouldn't mind buying me the parts instead of the watch, and voila:

I hardly take pics from the crown side since I mainly take wrist shots.
So here's the Ball EH with a good look at the crown guard/lock (opened/unlocked)

Re: Non CW of the Day
Most obvious difference to me is bezel size , which changes the overall dimensions... The watch on the right is much more to my liking, mainly because of the narrower bezel, but also because of the complexity the date window frame adds. The integral noon marker as well...Bident wrote: ↑Mon Jun 05, 2023 3:11 am Latest build: my wife offered to buy a watch for my birthday, which led to my contemplation of the Seiko SPB143.
