When I saw this 16610V with black bezel and maxi dial, I jumped on it. What was I thinking?

Beautiful watch, but I don't get it. What is a maxi dial? Somebody on this forum told me a while ago that a maxi dial was one where the hour markers touched the minute markers, or something like that. Anybody have another explanation?

Rebel · 7 March 2009, 06:02 AM

Enjoy!

SirLoki · 7 March 2009, 08:14 AM

best sub-date to date :) modern yet vintage looking

Samppala · 7 March 2009, 08:23 AM

Peppermannen, i believe a maxidial has larger hourmarkers then the regular dials.
Hur är läget i Norge =)?

Samppala · 7 March 2009, 08:25 AM

Since the 50th anniversary sub is 16610lv, what is the one you bought? 16610v, never heard of? Anyone got an explanation or have i got it wrong?

Samppala · 7 March 2009, 08:42 AM

Great looking watch by the way =)!!

jasper · 7 March 2009, 08:44 AM

You were thinking that the black bezel and maxi dial looks pretty darned good.....and you're right.

I'm always thinking of buying a sub, and while I really would like a vintage 1680, I can't help but think a LV with a black bezel would be a better buy. Plus which you can always install the green bezel for when you're feeling *crazy*.

There's a super vintage sub where the dial is as you describe. That dial is referred to as a maxi also...but it's not the same dial in any way.

That's the way I want it . . .

chriseskew24 · 9 March 2009, 01:32 PM

Stupid question what is a maxi dial. and what is a serti dial?

Andad · 9 March 2009, 03:41 PM

Sub Black dial and Sub LV maxi dial. Note bigger markers and thicker lume on the LV minute hand (hour hand is the same).

Serti dial (think of a Blue TT Sub with silver dial and diamond markers) NOT my Serti dial pix.

CharlieG · 14 March 2009, 11:18 AM

So OP what were you thinking?

Congrats on the watch
