FAIL POST FAIL!
I would consider this a FAIL too but i guess this is how Rolex really does it..
not just them, that is the way is done almost everywhere around the world and for most manufacturers, the reasons are plenty and the origin is just as vast, do a google search for it.
some are notable exceptions, such as the big ben in london, but for the most part that's how everyone does it, I know all my watches have it, and all the watches I've seen, from the oldest to the newest, from the cheapest to the most expensive.
It's kinda crazy that in following the circular motion around the numbers go upside down from the perspecitve of the reader. I've never owned a watch that does that.

The wall clock for my office, from Umbra, just has Roman XII / III / VI / IX on it, but it's done this way also.

yeah it's weird when you think about it because you're looking at it from a certain view, however, a reasonable explanation is that if you change the way the numbes are, then you would have to do it for all of them or it would create confusion. It's weirder even to see that roman numbers came into clocks long after the romans, or so I've read.
I read a chapter on a book about time and human perception of it, I can't remember the name and it was in Spanish, but it had all kinds of cool little stories and facts about time and when humans started to keep track of it, initially days and nights, season for crops, then developing a calendar, revising it a few times, and nowadays that we track milliseconds. Long story short, the first chaper was about clocks, watches, its evolution, why we have the numbers that we do, when they were implemented, etc.
haha was just looking at the thread that he posted and this post was just down the page, before his post date!
not me btw (retro coffee avatar).
Someone in the "Post you last purchase" thread reportedly just
got a KN Kozy. Whilst I wasn't certain what that was, I clicked on the link
they provided. Went to the maker's site and did some browsing. I got
more than I bargained for when I noticed something wasn't right on
one of the models. I turned to my wife and said, " Isn't the tag on
panties on the top in the back usually?" She replied with a big, "eeeew!"
ahahah
priceless.
Then screengrabbed and annotated it in Preview. Enjoy.

Yes it did. Trent Reznor is a Mac user and that was put in one of the videos as a joke.
