Here you see actual photographs of four different variations of the tickmark style I've chosen to go for. Meanwhile I think I know which one I like best, but I'd like to hear your valuable opinion.
So in case you do care about tickmarks, please let me know!


1)
This is the original design I did. The bold tickmarks are 0,4mm the others are 0,2mm.
Seeing this tickmarks in real life I saw some reasons to reconsider their thickness.

2)
I made the strokes thicker. So they are 0,4mm and 0,6mm now.
3) I made the numbered  tickmarks even bolder

4)
Here I did something not so obvious but I think it helps to make the readings clearer under bad lighting conditions.

5)
A variation of No. 4, where I reduced the small strokes. It's somehow like a MOTM variant, but not quite.
