Love Roman numerals but I think they're a little too extra unless its a classy piece

·

None of the above? I like all of them to one degree or another. Different dials work for different styles of timepiece.

Arabic

·

Diver with 3,6,9 a close second! I guess it would be Panerai on this chart.

Arabic is best. Roman can be fun on the right piece.

·

Stick or mixed, but I like having some variety really.

·

From a legibility POV, in general I prefer stick indices. I want Arabic on any field-type watch. From a purely aesthetic POV, I always have to pause and admire when I see a watch with Breguet numerals...

·

If I indeed would be limited to only one style: definitely stick. Makes for the cleanest dial, whilst still retaining function and aesthetics. Roman therefore least preferred.

·

I've a pathological hatered for round lume. Odd I know, but I just find them visually irritating.

·

If flieger is distinctive enough to be delineated from arabic then shouldn't field-style 12/24 be as well? Just a thought.

By number owned stick is my preference, but by aesthetics alone I really dig KonTiki style.

Arabic or mixed! I’ve sloooowly been coming around on CA dials.
