I prefer the Sticks for dial simplicity and optimal luminescence.

Depends entirely on the reference, dial, bracelet and metal.

I might prefer batons or Roman’s or baguettes depending

Kinda leaning toward sticks at the moment, but hadn't given it much thought to be honest.

stick/batons followed by arabic. Not a lover of diamonds or romans as much. This is the reason I don't have a DD yet, I haven't found the exact config that sings to me.

Sticks seem to be gradually being phased out
Which is a shame as they’re my preference
Hope I’m wrong
Either way I should hurry up!
