Looks really nice! Would like to add one to my collection sometime.

Just for my knowledge (still new to vintage) I thought lollipop referred to the hour hand not being Mercedes???

And, I believe, early subs like this 6536-1 with a 'lollipop" second hand.

Lollipop is the name the mark3 maxidialed 5513 is given because the minute marks appear to touch the lune plots and look like littlee lollipops.
