Talking about Datos. Observation...
In Response To: The USD 25k Carrera 3147 ()

Hello folks,

I also acquired a Dato Noir lately. So I took a closer look and I noticed that my dial is missing something. At first I thought something is wrong but I started using google and examples with the same characteristics popped up.

What am I talking about? Well it's the white frame at the date window. Mine doesn't have one. The serial of my Dato is 102xxx and I realized that there are also later batches in the 12xxxx. Could it have something to do with different execs?

I would appreciate some input.

Thanks a lot,
Manuel
