I like Roman numerals. So I fooled around a bit in Photoshop, to get an idea (I know its not perfect) how a Navitimer 01 would look like with them. |

I love Romans but that looks horrendous. Nice job with Photoshop though. |

The Romans I used, come off a Chronomat 44. I tried also to find Romans of a Evo, or Crosswind, but the ones I found didn't match the rest of the watch. |

I think it looks better than the Arabic numbers, I was never a fan of the Arabic numbers on the Navi Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk |

Hi Fred, Thanks, I didn't knew that model yet. To be honest; I don't realy like those Roman numerals. For me the Navitimer is a gracious watch and those numerals don't do it justice. I have the same opinion about the Arabic Numerals; just not gracious enough. I will fiddle around a bit more in Photoshop, to see if I can come up with something better. |

I made another attempt, to create a Navi 01 with Roman Numerals. This time I made them out of scratch in Photoshop, because I couldn't find any suitable numerals. First the one I made previous with the Numerals of a Chronomat 44, to make it easier to compare them;  And of the other one I made two variations;   Personally, I like the last ones more. |

Love the work, Frans!  If it isn't too much trouble, I would love the see the black version enlarged to the size of the gold case Navi pics and even better a black version with the Romans shown in the bottom pic?... Thank you so much. Best, Ron |

You mean the version, where also the subdials are black, or? |

I haven't been able to find a picture of a black subdialed watch. To save myself some time, I just turned the gold Romal numerals into black & white and fitted them into the steel/black version. Anyway, you should be able to get an idea how it would look like with those numerals in reality.
