    I don't even like Arabic numerals on watches, much less Roman numerals. Not sure exactly how that happened, but it did.

    Still, I do have at least one of each.

    I'm not a fan. I don't own a single watch with Roman numerals...

    Depends on the watch. Some work ,some don't.

    Always been a fan of the marine look, yet nothing really gels. High hopes for SB18/B18, then

    Generally I prefer Arabic numbers or hatch marks. Ironically, if Romans are done well I love them. I chose the Roman version of my least "affordable" watch, because I loved the abstract simplification that happened when Nomos used a sans-serif single width font. There is probably an exception to every rule.

    Too many watches, not enough wrists.

    Roman numerals are very much a no-go for me. If someone GAVE me a watch with them, I'd wear it out of politeness, but I'd never buy one. Well, never is a strong word... let's just say at this point in my life, I don't see me buying one.

    I like Romans very much, however, I don't have a single watch with them at this time. I have been wanting this one for a while though....
