I always thought that a Date at 3 or 4 was not the ideal place, considering the balance of the dial.
At 6, it would be better, even if I prefer silas without date, when it comes to simple, dressy watches.
But putting a date at 6 would be interesting, indeed.
The new 4O mm cases are goregous, IMO.
Look at the Master Home Time, for example, or at the latest Memovox.
Thin bezel and lugs, that's what the 40 / 41 mm need.
Let's wait and see what JLC will do!
Best, and thanks for your input.
