To make matter worse, authorized retailers at the time would not keep stone-dialed Day-Date and DateJust as inventory, but rather an option that is available upon request at additional cost.The present Day-Date featuring an Onyx dial is a grail watch for collectors of minimalistic preference. With no markers at all, the design of the watch displays no obstructions for the eyes but would only allow the viewers to adore it’s basic and monochromatic features.
