I can't decide! Looking to purchase a brand new Navitimer 01 on the steel bracelet... Numbers or Sticks for the hour markers? Care to help me decide? Thanks Peeps! |

Batons (can't bring myself to call them sticks) are definitely the best look! |

Numerals. It's less common and is more reflective of the original Navitimer. |

Sticks...the dial is busy enough as it is so the stick markers look better. I've owned both versions and much prefer the sticks. Sent from my VS987 using Tapatalk |

Gotta go with the batons, as stated it cleans up the dial a bit!! |

The polished arabics are a little hard to read at times, as are the polished portions of the baton version. To me the Navitimer is a pilot watch and should have the more instrument look (arabics). |

I'm so confused! I keep going back and forth. "I love the Arabics, how can could I have ever considered the markers!? I hate those damn Arabics!" It's an Inny-Miney-Moe situation I have here. I have never seen the Arabics in person, no one in Toronto has it. |

There you go, you learn something new every day. I didn't realise the numbers were applied. Might be a good reason to source a lightly used A23322 - cheaper to service too. |

Thank you for all the input. As it would have it, no in all of Ontario has it so I can't see it in person but I am leaning towards the Markers anyway. I'm hoping to get it tomorrow. I will post pics in a new topic if all goes well. |

I know of one of the original baton LEs in Ontario that is available. |
