I feel similarly.
Lange introduced the Luna Mundi set in 2003, coincident with the launch of the first-generation Grand Lange 1 models (3 watches -- PT with rhodium dial, RG with two-tone dial, and YG with two-tone dial). I strongly dislike the overlapping dial elements on all these early 41.9mm Lange 1 models. I think they disrupt and detract from the classic Lange 1 design. The placement of the date window especially bothers me. Five years later, in 2008, Lange changed the design of the Grand Lange 1 dial to mimic the standard 38.5mm Lange 1 design. I thought that was a sensible move.
All that being said, the Luna Mundi set and those other 3 Gen1 Grand Lange 1 models look a lot better in person. A few weeks ago, I visited a preowned dealer and looked at the YG/two-tone dial Grand Lange 1 with the overlapping subdials (115.021). We were looking at it together and both concluded, "You know, it's actually not that bad"!

One day, I will have to put my review on line... If I find it again... But in the meantime, just one photo. That one was and still is something... Best, Nicolas ...
Oh my.
This is one of those Lange 1's where I find so difficult to stop staring. The constellation (including other minute designs) on the dial and the gorgeous moon phase window gives the entire dial a lustrous balance!
The Southern Cross is a constellation (see applique at 12 o'clock) seen in the night sky from the southern hemisphere.
This watch is one of a set of two watches of a limited set (101 sets) named Luna mundi. The other watch is made of white gold and shows a constellation of the northern hemisphere, the "Ursa Major" / big baer
