Isn't that the norm in watches and clicks with Roman numerals though? Not correct in other usages admittedly, but pretty common for horology use. Never actually heard a convincing reason as to why though... it's usually balance that is given as a reason.... It used to bother me but I've gotten used to it...Bahnstormer_vRS wrote:Very nice indeed.Proco2020 wrote:Wearing my Zeppelin today. I forget how much I like the look of it.
Love the clarity of the dial but interesting to see the use of IIII, as opposed to the correct IV, for 4 o'clock.

Re: Non CW of the Day
I'd never noticed that before and I've not looked at any other Roman numeral clocks or watches before. I feel a Google coming up.Bahnstormer_vRS wrote:Very nice indeed.Proco2020 wrote:Wearing my Zeppelin today. I forget how much I like the look of it.

Re: Non CW of the Day
Enduring yet another monster Monday snow storm in New England with my Seiko SARB017 (on a spare CWL brown leather band too). I am seriously considering an impromptu visit to my parents down in Daytona Beach!
