Which number layout do you prefer?
Which number layout do you prefer, or have most of in your collection?
Yesterday I noticed that I don't have watches with the cardinal numbers on. Well, I have three out of 50+, one where the dial is going to be replaced, and the two above where the font is a bigger factor than the numbers.
Of the 40+ on my wishlist none have this layout. (No, I'm not going to buy another 40!)
This has been an unconscious bias, I really hadn't spotted it, but maybe it explains why the Explorer (for want of an example) doesn't appeal to me.

That's cool, it will give you a more varied collection than mine in that respect.

My current favourite, only a cheap rescue watch but totally love the numbers and the way they lume!
I went for C, that’s what I have the most of (if I can count those with missing 3s & 9s to accommodate chrono sub registers)
With the subdial it looks like some form of number puzzle, a circular sudoku?!?
Great question. For me it depends on the type of watch I suppose. But most of time I'm for full on numerals but do have quite a few watches with simple indices and no numbering whatsoever. And sometimes a unique combination can grab me!
