In a playful yet pointed critique of modern watch design, longtime WatchProSite moderator cazalea introduces a whimsical solution to the ubiquitous date window. His 'Acme Accessories DateDelete Cover Plate' concept, inspired by vintage car radio delete plates, offers a humorous take on a common collector grievance. This post and its subsequent discussion highlight the community's shared sentiments regarding watch aesthetics and the often-debated utility of the date complication.

There’s a disease sweeping the watch collecting world — an invasion of unnecessary and unwanted date windows. 
I’m happy to announce that my company “Acme Accessories” will soon release its first models of the DateDelete™
Molded in life-like plastic, recycled from coronavirus face shields, each FitzAll sheet of DateDelete™ is based on the original design of Chevrolet Radio Delete cover plates






The Patented â„— FitzAllâ„  extruded plate holder allows you to choose the piece that FitzAll â„   your watches best.


Inspired by TheGrailWatch's Big Pilot photo!

PS - my wife tells me not to quit my day job, but since WPS moderator IS MY DAY JOB, I don't have to quit!


Coming Soon - The FitzAllJewel for those watches with a Date window AND a lonely diamond between the lugs... Real/Genuine/FairMined Artificial Diamond on the cover plates!
