If you could remove the date from your Jumbo, would you do it?
I don't know. Iconic as is, yes?
Sure, why not 
And add a manual movement.
That sure would be something more than just a different material or dial color.
I find it reasonably unobtrusive…
When the date disc matches the dial but an even thinner, hand wound and date free version you mentioned above - definitely 😁👍🏻🤞🏻
It certainly has never bothered me. I guess I just recently started thinking "what if"
Can you imagine if they did a manual winding, no date version? It would be unobtanium, but surely guys like Kevin Hart would get one and not even appreciate why we on this forum would lust it.
I would, personally, because I don’t find
the date window to be particularly well executed. Not bad, but not great. I could do without it.

Spoken like a true Purist!
It is very well integrated on the 16202, but again that "what if" has me thinking.
The massive watch box tool kit? Yes and know.
It was a special accommodation. I paid a small sum, but not near the $5000 MSRP (and it was a dealer only kit).
But the singular winding tool, they used to make a different version that was a boutique gift to clients. I am not sure if they still offer it. But it makes the date change a breeze, and honestly, it is a fun way to interact with the movement.

I agree with “why not”, but it
actually for reason doesn’t bother me too much on that one.
Yes Sir, I have never been bothered with it either.
I have only known it that way, but it has never looked out of place or distracting to the rest of the dial.
Drop date and drop the seconds sweep hand
Most importantly give it a handwound manual movement. Exhibition back and work those inner angles please!
Best,
Robert
Keep in mind every inner angle on an AP is going to probably add a few thousand to the MSRP ;-)
But as posted above, a manual winding 39mm Royal Oak would be unobtanium anyways.
