Below is a full dial shot of a GMT with the Mark I. Also, close-ups of the Mark I and Mark II. The coronet on each dial is significantly different. Also, on a Mark I dial and only the Mark I dial, the three horizontal bars in the "E" in ROLEX are all the same width. On the Mark II, the center horizontal bar found in the "E" in ROLEX is shorter than the other two. There are also some other subtle differences if you compare the two dials.

From my experience, both dials are on par value-wise.

Curious what's different between the two... According to this post, you're correct, mine matches the date range for the MK2 (Mine is a 3 million serial):

The middle line in the E of the word Rolex is the same length in a mk1 dial

A ha! Thanks for that...

Is there a specific dial that's generally more desired?
