Beautiful even though not my style...if I had to choose, probably the R version between the two. [nt]

The pushers are so big. Pilots had to wear gloves because of the cold cockpits and crowns/pushers/shrongraph buttons had to be larger unless you wanted to take your gloves off every time something needed to be changed. The 5524 is following the original t... 

Only 10 numerals to represent the days of the months seems inefficient. And when did pilots need a watch to tell them the date, anyway? If they don't know already, they shouldn't be flying. [nt]
