Researching well in advance as you do, and I have nailed it down to two favourites of mine.
The maxi MK 1, for the larger plots, and the maxi MK 3 for the "lollipop dial".
I do feel like a MK 3 is more proportional in the dial somewhat.
Ofcourse at the end I love all of them!

Which is your personal favourite, and why?

Post up pictures of yours if you have any!

I own the Maxi Mk1 and 4. Here is a shot of the Mk1

I have the MK V. All maxi Subs are great, but I do think the MK III is pretty unique.

Here is my recently acquired Maxi Mk1 that I am certain I will never part with...gotta love those big beautiful creamy dial plots. That said...I've never seen a 5513 I didn't like. Fact is...any vintage Sub with a plexi Crystal gets my love

How can you identify a 702 triplock crown? Difference from a 700 is clear, but how can you tell a 702 from a 703?

I don't know....sometimes a simple Maxi just isn't enough !

Congrats on two great examples.

Love the MKI, MKII and MKIII (Lolipop)...But nicest is the MKI!

I "only" own a MKI......And yesss, I love it.

But let me explaim why:

It's because of "the smile" in the MKI-Face :-) Here's my trial to illustrate and I hope you know what I mean....it's that the "SUBMARINER" under "660ft=200m" is shorter.
It let's the face smile:

This 1. pic (without my "illustration") is taken from 5513mattedial dot com (thanks, John

)

And one time without illustration....My MKI

There is a distinct taper on the backside of the crown than leaves a gap between it and the case.You can also tell by unscrewing it,A 702 has no external gasket,A 703 does.

nycpassat · 29 January 2016, 02:07 AM

I've had the Maxi III (2x), V, and I. I ended up keeping the Maxi I

How about my mk1. Just got it. Only thing is the hands are a slight shade darker. I heard this happens sometime? Seems to be original dial. Overall love the watch.

05carbondrz · 29 January 2016, 11:59 AM

My Hands are a touch darker as well.It seems fairly common on Maxi Dial Subs.

My 5512 Maxi Mk1

fizz · 29 January 2016, 04:31 PM

Wow quite a thread. I love both the Maxi 1 and 3 but ended up picking the 3 recently. I think MK1 has the nicest dials due to the size, but the proportions of MK3 are neater and cleaner.

PoderEsBueno · 29 January 2016, 08:52 PM

Here is my mk1 four-liner, good luck with the hunt Adel
