Not bad. I would well see leaf hands instead of these ones, and something like " Master Chronograph 25th " or Master Chronograph Sector " rather than Automatique. [nt]

The earlier thread got me thinking....

...how it might look without a date and the 'AUTOMATIQUE'. I have extremely limited artistic skills, and my photoshop license expired a while ago, but here's a rough idea! As close as I could get with MS Paint! ...  

Looks great. I wish JLC made this one instead.

I could live with the Automatique, but sans date is essential for me. Cheers, John

+1 for me.

No date - perfect (even with automatique)

Exactly!

No date and the rest is just fine.

Looks very good ! [nt]

Dial now has too much empty real estate

and I could be misled into thinking I was buying a quartz

Even when you turn it over and see a mechanical movement?

That's too easily misled! Edit: Not to mention the sweep-seconds hand.

Ummmm...

My Rolox Ostarmatic has an exhibition case back. The salesman told me that the battery assists the mechanical movement by powering the lights on the hands and indices at night. I’m sorry I’m not a professional. I just can’t look at a movement and tell whe...

Very clean. Thank you. [nt]

Empty

I can’t pinpoint exactly why I see such a difference between the original dial and this modified dial, but what I do no is tha5 somehow the modified dial is empty. Too empty

Could be

 
 By: Jurry : July 19th, 2019-09:34
Fair point. That could very well be so. Perhaps that’s why I can’t put my finger at it. Someone should show me how to judge a dial from a more design perspective. Learn why the dial of one “two hands time only” looks empty whilst another one is a feast fo... 

OK, one more version. No date, but with AUTOMATIQUE

 
 By: pejp : July 19th, 2019-11:34
I can't fill the hands, as a) I don't know how and b) I think that'd be a terrible idea. The hands are perfect! v2! ...  

Some text needs to be there

The “automatique” does balance the dial to my eye. This no-date version could make for an interesting boutique limited edition.
