Do you have a favourite day of the month because of the date wheel? 🐸
I really love the bauhaus "4" of the Junghans Max Bill. So I like the 4th, 14th and the 24th best on the Junghans date wheel.
The Kermit Edition of the Oris Pro Pilot X also might come to mind for a "favourite day of the month" date wheel with little Kermit smiling at you at every 1st of a month. The photo isn't mine (unfortunately) but from Oris' Website.
What do you guys think? Do you have a favourite day of the month on your watches? I'm looking forward to your comments.😎

The Fortis 13 and the Junghans 4
I love seeing the red and blue Kanji characters for Saturday and Sunday on my vintage Seikos. It's just one more reason to look forward to the weekend. Some examples below.

Looks really awesome! Congratulations to your watches! 😎
Blue Saturdays on Seikos are always a nice touch to the weekend. Sundays are usually labeled red in my culture, but Saturdays don’t get any special color in the calendar. But they do on my wrist if wearing a Seiko for the day.
Every day of the week is my favorite because I don't like date wheels.

I guess it's quite nice to like every day of the week. 🤔😂
I never thought of this. I would have to say the 31st, as it means I don't have to adjust the calendar that month.
The first, with my Oris.
The 15 or 30 of any month cause it’s payday

Looks pretty neat!
Roulette date wheel on my Pelagos LHD has red even dates. It’s unnecessary and I absolutely love it.

Fortis does the 13 in their signature orange — I think on every watch model they make? There are a few rumors going around about the significance of the number 13 (model name of a movement; number of employees when this tradition was established; etc), but as far as I can tell it‘s a fairly arbitrary choice that stuck.
Here’s one that’s not cool:
Can I please have a “0” in front of the 4?

What an interesting story! I had no idea! Thanks for sharing! 😎

Oh yes, I know the G-Shock date very well. 😂
Nope.
