1 for a classic look, but ...
... 3 is more legible. But we still have the issue with the pointer date, so in fact Foversta's Lange example is the best choice!

IF....we had a triple cal manual..what would you prefer, 1,2 or 3???

Fun!
In my eyes #1 looks really cool - perhaps partly because of the metal. Such a watch in the size of 33-34 mm would also make a nice watch for the ladies. Best, Kari
3 for me... very JLC...
About the number 1... you also have the Lange option: After all, the big date system comes from JLC... Fx...
I would first dream about some tear drop lugs.
Then, not the 2, ugly, nor the 3, too Patek. On the base of the first one, I would remove the date from the moonphase indicator, to put it all around the dial, on the outer part of the dial, like on the Vintage one. 38 mm would be a perfect size. Aaah, da...

Both 1 & 3 look great to me...
I would also agree with amanico that moving the date from around the moonphase to around the edge of the dial, with a red, or perhaps blue, date hand would be another option. Perhaps drop the sweep second, and fit a sub-second instead. Some teardrop lugs,...

3 for me
altough I really like the new mut moon. Its not a triple calendar but its superb, except that I don't understand why they have to add 'automatic' below the moon phase....
