What’s your favourite dial >>>>

1. Old style skinny hands, small dots aka 16610 Submariner.

2. New style maxi dial, fat hands aka Kermit Sub, GMT IIc etc.

Personally I prefer the maxi dial. Much easier to read, and I think the proportions looks better to a sports watch.

I can't say. I have one of each and like each for different reasons. The GMT dial is very good, and a little more legible, but the Sub dial works well for me too.

I dunno. Sorry.

I find the maxi on my TT GMT-IIC so easy to read. Not that there's any problem with the standard markers on my Sub-date. They too are quite easy to read.
