[Question] Is this the worst design element decision of all time? (alien.top)

The Longines Master 40mm, an otherwise beautiful classic-looking piece, covers up some of the numeral 6 with the moonphase/date dial. The 42mm version notably does not.

I'm slightly annoyed with that as well, but I also don't have any idea what to put in there as if it is empty, it may not look good as well. However, I like that the date dial is more on the middle compared to the 42 mm (which at glance it gives an impression that the movement is too small compared to the case).

That's because the movement is too small for the case. Like half of modern watches have movements that are too small for their cases, its ridiculous.

LOL. I thought it was because they designed it that way. Anyway, it's good if somebody make a small second that is just right in the middle at affordable price :) Even Nomos with their relatively new in-house movement is also not right in the middle :(
