How can I read this GE type I-55-S electric meter?

Question

Should I just round to the closest number on each dial? Is the reading 3708 kWh?

Blast! You foiled my plan to hack the meter! (Humor: it's an old mechanical meter.) — Harper - Reinstate Monica, Commented Apr 23, 2018 at 15:30
@Harper it's a paranoid habit of mine to censor all serial numbers no matter what :) — binarymax, Commented Apr 23, 2018 at 20:58

It reads 2698 -> read the number BEFORE each dial, remember that if one dial turns clockwise the next will turn counter-clockwise
