Maxi case dimensions

Does anyone know the GMT-Master IIc's maxi case dimensions vs. the dimensions of the 16710?

were not talking about the dial which is referred to as "maxi" - actually i wish they'd call it something else as it sounds "feminine" if ya knows what I am sayin here !
Anyway, the Supercased GMT is the same diameter and is thicker at the lugs by a couple of mm's, so its an illusion of being "larger". I believe its a tad taller also by a mm or two...

Thanks,
Randy

Thanks for the correction, I had a feeling i wasn't using the right word! :P Yeah, I can see that it's wider at the lugs and a bit thicker. But I was wondering if it was also wider in the center, as well as longer?

I think it is longer and thicker...it looks wider because of the triplock crown..the dial is the same it is just the hour markings and hands that are larger on the dial.
