Stick, Roman, Arabic

Looking To buy a 36mm TT Datejust and was wondering what other Datejust owners selected as their time markings -- Stick, Roman or Arabic?

I own a 36mm stainless Datejust with Stick markets and like the look but may select another marker for my TT. Thank you, in advance, for your input.

First Rolex I ever bought was a Datejust with sticks, because when I ever thought of "Rolex" that was the image that came up first.

I’m a sucker for the Romans. Especially Wimbledon dial in TT rose

I'm not a fax of Romans on the 36mm. I'd go with stick markers

I opted for romans on my DJ36 and was definitely the right decision for my own taste. Eventually down the road I'm going to look for a TT white dial with romans as well which to me looks amazing.

Not too many basic dial choices anymore (sticks or Roman). Years ago there seemed to be many more "basic" options with wither sticks or numerals. It would appear that they are pushing more diamond and other dial options that add substantial costs to the DJ and DD lines. I prefer sticks and my next and probably last addition to my bunch will be the classic 36mm TT DJ Champagne Stick.

I just got romans on a white dial and I love it. I think sticks are also good but if you have them already, why not switch it up?

I chose Romans on a white dial. For me, it’s a classic. Love it’s simplicity.
