Deciding on Navitimer 01

I Like to get a Navitimer 01, but cannot decide on the stick markers or the Arabic numbers markers.
Which would you choose?

Without doubt...the batons look much better than the arabics on the Navi 01.

Agreed. Batons look much better on a Navitimer. There are already enough numbers on the dial.

Baton's are the way to go. The Navitimer bracelet has never been my favorite, but on a leather strap with the deployant clasp it's a gorgeous piece. Plus, the BR01 movement is handily one of the better Chrono movements out there.

I agree with the majority. I usually like Arabic dials better but in this case it makes it too busy. Batons for sure.

Received my Navitmer 01 3 Days ago.
Look fantastic, immediately changed to an aftermarket Leather Alligator Grain Strap with Deployant Clasp.
Time keeping is also Super Accurate, Gain 3 seconds over 3 days.
I think it is more accurate with the Chrongraph running.
Very happy with the watch.

Can someone tell me how to insert photos
