Probably an unpopular opinion here but...

I think the subdail arrangement is compromised. They are too close to the centre of the dial and one another and this makes it appear more cluttered than is necessary. This seems to be a symptom of putting the small 30mm 82xxx in a 42mm case.

I think the subdial arrangement on the reference 5033 is better as the subdials are closer to the edge of the dial near the minutes track which to my eyes reduces clutter and improves legibility. That reference uses the 52xxx calibre base which is 37.8mm in diameter; a movement size better suited to the case size.
