Is this a Maxi Mark II? Does it look correct?

Ah. Thanks! Looks like it is a Mark I.

nope - gotta look more carefully....look at the 'ft'

It looks like a serif dial, but the seller calls it a "serif Maxi." I'm not familiar with that term. Also, a 5.4 mil. serial would be late for a serif dial, from what I've read.

A Maxi dial would actually be correct for this serial range, but it's not a Maxi dial at all, it's a Serif dial commonly found a few years earlier in the 2.5-4 mil range.

Would this be considered a Mark III? Does it look correct?

That is a correct Maxi 3 dial, but I'm guessing the price will be very high considering where it is listed for sale.

It is very high ... Seller says unpolished ... Looks like it to me

Often times these days, unpolished is merely code for refinished to look original. This "tool watch" that originally cost a few hundred dollars is now nearly 40 years old. Anyone who actually wears a watch knows just what scratch and ding magnets they are. This was not a watch that was purchased as a museum piece, an investment, or a dress watch. Now a dealer wants you to believe that it looks just like it did when it left the factory in the late 70s and also charge you a gigantic premium because of it. Your call on whether or not you want to pay for that.
