: Jeff,
: You obviously suffer from Index Fatigue.
: .
: On a analog dial plain markers are called
: indices (the plural of index). I also call
: them ticks.
: Indices require an additional mental process to
: convert them into a number which is useful.
: By themselves they are no more informative
: than a scratch on the crystal.
: That is why dials with Arabic numbers ( Roman
: are no better than ticks) are so appealing
: especially after an extended wearing of
: index marked watches.
: The Pilot type watches are the best because the
: dark background and lighter numbers offer
: wonderful contrast.
: .
: Im sorry to say your condition is not curable.
: However it may be alleviated by periodically
: purchasing a nice watch with numbers on the
: dial. See pic for suggestions.
