Roman numerals for me please!
I always feel they really look the classiest/most expensive of all the options.

Following a discussion I had with Sergio in another thread, it would be interesting to see what numerals you would chose for your dials. That means that you will have to "eliminate" for ex. the Chrono Colt if you prefer Roman or Arabic numerals. Actually, the poll is more significant for models where more than one choice is available (ex. Seawolf, B01 etc.). I do not want to influence you but IMO, the majority will vote for batons. |

Arabic numerals would be my first preference...followed by batons. Roman numerals would be well behind those 2. |

Arabic would be my first choice for casual wear. I think Roman numerals look excellent with dress wear. I like batons only on certain pieces, so they would be my last choice. ~Brian |

Interesting topic. I prefer roman numerals!! I'm not a huge baton fan...the seawolf comes in a baton version and an Arabic version...I much prefer the Arabic however, I don't think roman numerals would look good on that watch. Roman numerals have their place, on dressier pieces, but the sport models like the wolf and avenger I prefer arabics. That being said....I still LOVE roman numerals especially on the Evo and B01. |

batons for me. i love the look of romans but they seem to clutter the dial to me. the 2 tone black dial/gold roman B01 is awesome looking but again...too cluttered. I wish you could get the same layout with batons

I think it varies hugely and depends on the overall style and intended function of the watch. I feel Arabics look more casual, and Romans/batons look dressier, and some dials look over-crowded with Roman numerals, where for others they're just right. I have an opinion on specific models, but I couldn't say one way or another in general. |

Normally I prefer arabic. I don't mind roman if only a few of them are used, such as for the III, VI, IX and XII. Batons are OK if they are generously lumed like on the BB. |

Arabics for me, followed by Romans and then batons...although I will admit that I sometimes change order depending on the styling of a watch. Still even then arabics still win

For casual I rather Arabics. For formal batons. Not a huge fan of Romans. Depends how they are displayed I guess. I like them on this watch

Arabic numberals. I can always tell the time at a glance. I like batons too, but sometimes (like between 4 and 5, say) it takes me a fraction of a second longer to figure out what time it is. |

on my SA i went batons white dial. but now that i think about it i could have gone Arabics no problem. but who knows if i did maybe i would be saying the same thing about batons. Roman numerals are starting to grow on me alot more. |
