Not all of them. Here's one that would be perfect for you:

Senator Sixties, 39mm diameter, 9.4mm thick

But it's so boring! Rephrase - do they have any watches with complications that aren't big? Their big dates and annual calendars look as nice as anything on the market, and they're all pretty affordable.
40mm x 12.2mm?
Image
I like that one, and the thickness is probably fine but 40mm would be a very large dress watch on my wrist.

At 36mm or so would be great. I wonder if JLC has some old designs that size?

hand date is also classically proportioned, although not sure if that qualifies as "complications".
like all GOs, it's stunning in person. i've been thinking of one ever since i tried it on a few years ago.
I was going to suggest the hand date too but it's 14.3mm thick.
that's shocking, because it certainly didn't come across as that thick when i tried it on. i wore it for 15 minutes or so while browsing the boutique too.
My mistake, I quoted the thickness of another watch. The hand date is 11.2mm thick. Sorry about that.

Awesome watch congrats! Did you get the 50 year book with it ? If so, one of my photos of my PA2 is in the book :)

It's the one with the watch on top of a pair of snorkel goggles.

Damn - new Doxa rocks and I'm really warming up to the shogun; may be my next watch?

This one for me. A DWC veteran that is very underrated. Totally bad a$$ and hasn't lost a second in two weeks ;)

Thank you. I am really digging it so far.
I did the book was a nice surprise! That is cool I will have to check it out better. I have only flipped through it quickly before putting it on the shelf. Do you have one inbound as well?

Not the watch. Didn't join the pre order but i definitely want a copy or two of the 50 year book. Just waiting until the boom is available.

I'd like to add a 1500T pro since I already have a 1200T PA2
