Is there a good technical reason why...

I was passing a high end Jewellers window just now and I was ogling some of the eye candy watches on display. They had a 30 grand Rolex which had a dial on which the numbers were laid on their side. Is there a good technical reason for this or is it form over function. There were a few other pricey time pieces including some Patek Philippe's as well one of which was an eye watering 45K. I would want my numerals to be upright if I was splashing that sort of money on a timepiece.

The Rolex dial is to differentiate the precious metal watch from its steel counterpart usually.Fairbridge said:

Not sure if serious...
