Re: Date / Day-Date ? ? ? ?

Thanks for clarifying, Jeff. I suppose it makes sense to offer Date and Day-Date models. What gets confusing is offering what seems to be the same Date model, but with a different seperation between "Heuer" and "Automatic," as in Chuck's pewter examples here:

: my own personal preference is for the
: "day-only" version, though I am
: also happy with the "day-date".
: the "day-only" keeps the dial
: cleaner and I usually can tell you the
: "day", though I often won't know
: the "date".

I agree about the cleaner dial, though I'm sure I'd take 'em either way. I know what day it is, at least four days out of the week =)

: So what's next on your "Heuer hit
: list"?

Man, good question. There are a whole slew of Carreras I'd like to have, and Chuck tells me I need an Autavia ;-) I'm sure there are plenty that I don't even know I want, yet!
