Iirc there were logical reasons why some watchmakers used "IIII" instead of the correct latin numeral "IV" for number four. I think it had something to do with symmetry and readability. 馃摉

Nice watch, but I believe that it is 33mm diameter (w.o crown) and 36mm lug to lug

Both are correct. I think the IIII four is Eastern Roman Empire as used in the Greek Orthodox countries of Eastern Europe.

PS
About the time mechanical clocks first came into use the Medical profession still used another alternative four, it was IIIJ.
