That is close, but I think the VC is better - the dial layout and proportions and the mix of printing and applied Cross combine with the hands for a perfect face.

I usually hate those indicators as well, but the design of the watch is so perfect.
What about the Grande Date? It ditches both and is mechanically the same otherwise. Same case and display back. If I can sell my Big Pilot any time soon, I may get one in steel:
Make sure you try it on (if you haven't already). XGT proportions don't work for everyone
I was fine with the Big Pilot, after all.

I don't care about movements much, but to my eye, the Patrimony just has better proportions. The flat one you like is really nice, but didn't look good on my wrist. Lange I love, but find that they make much more elegant watches for cases than for wrists.Your JLC looks a lot more like the flagship VC Patrimony.

Unfortunately, the platinum version will also take $110k out of your pocket. But the good news is that the gold one sells for a measly $80k.
I would classify myself as not a watch guy, but beginning to take a passing interest. Still, I can't imagine any scenario in which I'd spring that much for a watch.
I like yours better, too. The lugs are more gracefully integrated with the case. I hate funky lugs.
I would have thought the opposite, based on your furniture tastes - there is something a bit more bauhaus-inspired in the first one's lugs
