Why are>>>>>>

the Maxi dial so attractive?

I just love the balance of the hands and the index´s.



And the index´s looks a little doomed with some lightning fiddle.



I can´t stop looking at it.

Jocke, I totally agree. The maxi is such a great dial. Fantastic balance and so usable in all conditions. I think it's a throw back to the golden era of Rolex tool watches.

As always my friend, just perfect photos.

Lovely photos, as usual, Jocke.

I think the Maxi dial looks good due to the 'Mercedes' disc on the hour hand matching the size of the round hour markers - what do you think?

Your pics looks awesome. Rolex should use you to photograph their website pics.
The more I look at the maxi dial the more it grows on me, totally awesome.
