I guess they realize there is a market for these types of watches too. It takes some time but if you browse their shop, gems like this one do pop up once in a while. This is one of two vintage inspired watches I own from them. The other has a VK quartz that ticks 4 times per second.

They do have quite a few variations but I think all of them (well at least the ones I have seen) have a matching dial and arabics. I think one version has Roman numerals but again, they match the dial color.

I knew the design was not original but I did not know where Invicta was getting their inspiration.

Like others in this thread, I can't choose. Sometimes I think it's this one:

but then other times I say it's my Orient Kamasu II

Then I wear my old Caravelle and I know it's that one.

Then I switch to wearing something else and the cycle starts all over.

This ETA clone is mesmerizing.

I had to add another shot of my Otto Frei "Special" with a photobombing Lamy nib thrown in for good measure. 😜 😂

The votes are in Roman vs Arabic Vs. Indeces

It looks like Arabics take the win over Roman numerals by a long shot and indices came in 2nd. (my poll is here: https://www.watchcrunch.com/IvanRomer...

Arabics vs. Roman numerals

I am not a roman numeral guy. I grew up with clocks in our house with roman numerals. I am not sure if getting my first LCD watch just made me prefer Arabics but that is my preference. I'll take indic...
