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.

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 whether it’s quartz or not—that’s what you experts are for.
Well done, pejp. Don't you think it is veeeery nice without the date? Just fill these hands and it is perfect for me. [nt]

i think it would be damn good way to go ;-)
all you've to do is pick-up your mobile & call someone ;-)
I thought about that possibility, indeed. But I am trying to go another way... [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
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 for the eyes
I compare it the way I look at art; I can look at a painting - photo - sculpture and feel it’s great but can never explain why. If then an expert explains structure composition etc it kicks I. Haha
