[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 have a Longines heritage classic with the same dial layout. I think cutting out the 6 makes sense, it preserves the dial symmetry and gives an illusion of depth.

Removing this partial number would make the design cleaner and minimalist. This small change would make the watch modern. It is probably not wanted for a heritage and classic line.
