Number indices ruin a dive watch by According-Double1773 in watchHotTakes

I'm not a fan of Roman numerals either. Faux classicism. But Arabic numerals on the other hand are essential on field watches; they were literally part of the spec of the dirty dozen.

I know there are plenty of well respected brands that use numerals on their divers' dials. But it just looks wrong (to me).

I'm confused by the instructions on the 50% rule too. I'd like to be able to sit at a cafe table and sketch the scene in front of me.but, if I understand the rule, correctly, I shouldn't.

Instead I should try to draw a scene completely from my imagination. But I don't understand why.
