Yeah it's not quite my style either. From an engineering perspective I do appreciate the electrical and mechanical skills it took to pull off, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

The numbers are bit too fancy for my taste. I actually write my 7's with a line through them (a habit I picked up decades ago doing all-hands-on-deck warehouse serial number inventory and we were told to do that to prevent confusion with the number 1 as well as write S's as $ to avoid confusing with the number 5 and zeroes as Ø to avoid confusing with O). But I prefer my number displays to be in the more common format.

B-7971's would work nicely in this setup too.

It's a pity most of the auction sales are private, you can't really see how successful the seller is at selling any of his/her high cost items at all - so you can't see if anyone is appreciating their designs.

I love openness in cases like this.
