The Rolex Daytona has a date function
My watch buddy from Hong Kong uses the stopwatch hand of the chronograph to indicate the date on his Daytona.
A second on the dial reads the date Some of you may have been using this all along, but I learned something new. I lost a LARGE pint to him tonight

Each minute index is 1 second on the stop watch.
By moving the stop watch 1 second shows the corresponding index as the date. For example: When the stopwatch hand is at 4 seconds, stop it. That's the 4th. Advance a second a day and go from there. You can also use the sub dial at 3 o'clock, that will be a minute of the stop watch for the date. If you like, the 9 o'clock sub dial can also show the month.

Yes. I know some people around here also use the bezel on their Subs in a similar fashion to indicate the date.
Another Daytona trick: when you travel, start the chrono when it's 12:00 at your destination. The hour register is now your second time zone. |

I would find it much easier to remember the date then to squint and try and figure out exactly where that chrono hand is.
