Happy Flat 4 Day!
You know, I might actually enjoy seeing these big Flat 4s in my date window more than open 6s. There's something about the way it almost fills the entire window. It's a shame that the font/size of the date wheels of newer models lost this subtle yet cool feature.

I just took some comparison shots of the BLUE 9411/0 and RED 1680. The font is quite different on the date-wheels and the flat 4 is a little larger/wider on the Rolex wheel. I love them both equally, like my kids...
