    For starters, you're shopping at Neiman Marcus, nothing "reasonable" there....

    You'd think for that kind of money he'd at LEAST install the right size strap.

    Why on earth is the XVI so badly skewed?

    It's not. They leaned on German thinking not French thinking. XVI can be centered 2 ways. The true center like they did which off balances the gotten of the V since I is shorter the X.

    I would have centered it on the V which would have been wrong but I think would have looked better.

    To my eye both the X and the V are crooked.

    Yeah, that's what I mean - the V is noticeably crooked. Here's one of the pictures with a flat 1 pixel wide line at the top and bottom that just touches the top and bottom edges of the V. It looks like the letters were removed and badly re-applied.
