here's the Co-Pilot AVI Mk1.2 from 1953 that we used as the "master sample" for the design process saying hallo.
if you have a loupe you'll see that minuterie "ticks" & all numerals have minuscule serifs, almost invisible without a loupe, but making the font crisp & sharp - and have a look how many different "3" you'll find....
took 6 proto runs to get all right ;)

congrats & hope you'll enjoy the watch!

Fred, that is exceptional. I'm waiting for one that's looking for a new owner. It will be a long wait...

I’m waiting for one to show up here in Canada. West coast. I’m on ‘the list’ at least. Maybe a couple of months away yet.
