Personally, I do have a (general) preference for no-date for aesthetic reasons, but it's normally not a big deal, so I can in most instances live with it. However, here we are speaking of an otherwise superb enamel dial, which a date window is not only unnecessarily breaking, but coupled with the numeral 3, it *really* overkills it! ;-) Of course, all these considerations are somehow subjective, but I doubt your AD would come up with the same poll results for this specific reference ;-)
