Roman Numeral Question
Why on a lot of watch dials is the Roman numeral for 4 shown as IIII rather than IV? Is it so we idiots don't mistake it for 6 VI? Or a design element to somehow balance characters on the dial? I've seen this on Rolex and Breitling in particular. In the grand scheme of things this is real small potatoes, but it is enough to keep me from buying certain models that I would otherwise consider.
