Drill a hole in the LCD, remove the guts, and install a mechanical watch behind the screen.
Kind of the opposite of Vortic watches
I doubt the inventors of the numbers themselves named them Arabic, so it's really more about origin.
This calls to mind a Neil deGrasse Tyson explanation of why he still uses BC and AD in his date nomenclature, rather than the modern BCE and CE. He wants to give credit to the Gregorian inventors of the calendar.
Just a quick look makes me think "West Arabic" is the right name for the numbers.
They are fine things, but just not what I want in a mechanical watch.

Sport - Royal Oak Jumbo
Dress - Laurent Ferrier Galet
Complication - Portugieser Eternal Calendar
Budget (<$1,000) - Seiko Prospex Solar Dive Watch SNE589
I hate to say it, but the fashion now is a suit and no tie.
Similarly, sneakers (of the right style) are also acceptable in business setting.
Just like dive watches are acceptable with suits (I accept this one only begrudgingly) that's just the way things are right now. Will it change? Absolutely, but I don't know what direction it will go.
