Maxi vs. meters first dial side by side

Stopped at a local store today to help a friend find a 5513. Spotted this nice meters first dial. I always knew the maxi plots were bigger but this side by side really made the difference apparent. Granted the perspective is slightly off because of the angle (making my watch look bigger) but I think the dial variations are really interesting to look at next to one another

Great pic. The 5513 with its many dial variations is a favorite of many collectors.

Your maxi is amazing. Usually I see maxis with almost white like markers. I love the creamy patina. Enjoy it!
