I voted for batons.

There is something so....symmetrical about the layout.

Personally, while I lean towards batons, it all comes down to the style and size of the dial. I'm not a fan of the romans on the Chronomat because they seems too large and clutter the dial IMO only. Plus I prefer the numerals on a dial have something in common with the bezel numbering. So I much prefer the batons on some models.

On Navis though, I am drawn to arabics over batons.

While I wouldn't change a thing about the romans on the Chronomaster.

I summation ladies and gentlemen, I have no meaningful opinion. :)

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 :drool:

Reminds me of a piano - in a fun house mirror.


It's cool eh? I love that watch...

Hi All!

I Voted Baton!

I Prefer Baton's Followed By Arabics - Dislike Roman Numerals As A Rule Of Thumb. :roll:

However, Their Are A Few Exceptions That I Like - For Example, The Cartier Americaine (Large Model), Calibre de Cartier, & Some From Roger Dubuis Excalibur Collection As Well Other Models From Other Manufacturers I Am Sure! :geekfuman:

Nonetheless, I Am Sticking To Baton's Followed By Arabics! :nana:

Cheers,

Enezdez :santa:
