Initially I was skeptical on the design then after a few in-depth readings, the asymmetrical design was clearly a part of Heuer鈥檚 great motorsport and watch heritage 馃槈 I tried looking for one in Japan but with no luck. But I鈥檓 thankful for sir @Snowy鈥檚 help and response 馃憤

Thank you sir @Anthony.R ! I have to apologize to you since my initial reaction when you sent sneak pix was a hard pass LOL 馃榿 I was thinking before if the Carrera Fragment or the Carrera Montreal would be a good 39mm glassbox partner to the Ice King. But the Heuer Heritage in me made my decision much clearer and would make the collection more coherent. Also from a heritage point of view, the Howinkee Dato trumps both the Fragment and the Montreal IMHO, plus it also has the 160th Anniversary rotor (similar to the Silver/Montreal) that made me pull the trigger 馃憤 Bang!

Haha....yes I remember your initial response to the pics before release. We shared similar opinions and now I too have come to like the Dato. Enjoy it my friend and post a pic with it and your stopwatch together for me.

Awesome! Super Congrats @kappa_md !!!! 馃憤馃憤馃憤 Another one joins the club! ::rimshot::

This watch really grows on you doesn't it? I'm used to symmetry, so I initially passed since I wanted a 2 register panda. Nevertheless, I still gave it a C.O.C.O score of 8.5/10. But now I realize its one eye is really a strength and gives it a unique quirky retro cool factor! Plus, it's still a true evil panda. The watch is even better in person. So if scoring today, I'd give it a 9.5/10.
I'm sure you'll love it! 馃グ

Kudos to @Snowy for helping you! 馃憤

Indeed, it鈥檚 not JUST one subdial, it鈥檚 THE one subdial.

Great stuff Michael 馃槑 you've become the number one Dato ambassador
Gotta give credit to @Yago and others for leading the charge. They knew this was the real deal from the very beginning. ::psy::
I'm a late bloomer; only had my watch for about a week and half, so still deep within the honeymoon phase. 馃グ

Thanks @kappa_md , I hope you enjoy yours as much as I'm enjoying mine. Having to wait a few weeks must not be easy. BTW, I think I may have misunderstood where your watch is coming from. If not from Japan, where is it being sent from? Will it have the TAG Heuer croc strap or the Hodinkee leather straps?
