I like the matching grey leather strap. Looks good with your 5513.

May I ask what is a Lollipop Maxi? Thanks.

Hi, info from BEAUMONT MILLER's excellent site www.5513mattedial.com

Quote:
The Maxi III Dial is a favorite among many 5513 collectors because its large tritium hour plots appear to touch the five minute hash marks underneath, giving it the nickname “lollipop"

Thanks for the clarification. It seems "lollipop" only appear on MK III?

That is correct.The Two most sought after Maxi Dials are the MK1 and the MK3.

Congrats and thanks for the shout out!!!! Looks great. Ken told me a few times grab the best example. I was trying to get birth year too. I took his advice. I still will look but not that important - what matters is the quality of the watch. Yours is awesome. Rich

Thanks again everyone.

And quick question for the more knowledgeable amongst you - what insert (MK 1/2/3) does my watch have and is it period correct?
