I reckon a 12 o'clock date is more sensible than 6. 12 is the most significant time on the dial, it's usually got a different hour index. Looks good at 12, putting the date at 6 is stupid when you think about it.
And these are nicer than a Tudor, check out the indices for example, the crystal, the case, the gator strap. Not necessarily saying US$4k is good value but they're not playing at the Tudor level.

Like the way they integrated the power reserve without a secondary dial. Clean.

It's not horrendous. That been said, for $3800, I'd buy a Tudor on bracelet and still have a few hundred bucks left for a nice bottle of bourbon.
Me too. Also.

I have no problem with the date location at the 12 (though I kind of prefer dateless watches tbh)
What I don’t get is showing a mediocre/pedestrian appearing movement under a display caseback. I mean, class up the wartch with a nicely done solid caseback and call it a day.
That said, of the op three, I like the looks of that cream dialed one best

The 12 o'clock date is a deal killer for me.
^^^That.
Looks awkward for this otherwise cool dial.

Yeah, that's really nice. Longines going from strength to strength the last few years.

Here's a Lawn Jeans I could see in my collection: the Longines Heritage Conquest Central Power Reserve. (name could use some editing. Did a German come up with it?)
The power percentage ring as well as in the indicator hand move in this surprisingly complicated design.
I like the domed sapphire crystal, the short lugs, the 38mm diameter, the gold hands and indices; very classy. The Date window at the 12 position I like as well; it detracts from the overall look less than I think it would in the usual 3 position. An ETA movement with a 72 hour reserve and COSC beating specs combined with the ..read more

I hate it when one dial element steps on another. Like, did you not measure that shit out before you started???
Agree on over lapping
It’s too cheesy, like a coin stamp error.

Talk about an unatractive discombobulated tymepiece. Look at this one, What a waist of money
You are correct. A good pal (like me) would take that off your hands. Only because it's in your best interests-obviously.
