Maxi Dial and Case Question
Can someone please explain the maxi dial on the subs and gmts?
The sub I purchased in 2005 obviously did not have the maxi and the one I purchased this year does. Was the maxi dial ever done previously to this newest version of Subc and Gmtc? Thank you for any input |

Larger indices
Older subs without applied indices were also larger I believe.. If I'm wrong I will stand corrected as I'm far from expert |

The Submariner maxi dial comes in 2003 but only on the LV model. So a black one from 2005 should have non maxi dial.

Thank you Jocke! So did any of the vintage Subs have a maxi dial or just starting in 2003 on the LV?
Thank you again for input...... |

Some vintage Subs had a maxi dial but without White gold surrounds. Quite rare now.

The first modern maxidial was at The 40mm SS/Platinum Yachtmaster made in 1998.
