On another watch forum out there, much is made of the dislike some individuals have for the so-called "radial flip" of the numerals on a watch dial.
Here's what I mean - these two watches do not flip the numerals on the dial, and all of them have the bottom of the number pointing towards the centre of the dial.....this seems commonf with Roman numerals.
On this watch, the arabics flip as you move from 1 to 12 around the dial......this is the version that is so hated on the other site.....
And to me this last set is the example of an ideal solution. A gradual flip that isn't quite so abrupt.....posted one Aero that was oriented vertically so it was easier to see than the first one.
Atomic's 210 is the same but less arabics....
So does the "radial flip" bother anyone?
