Watches with Maxi Dial and brushed center links?
Is the LV the only Rolex ever made so far with the Maxi Dial and brushed center links?
Thanks |

The LV is not the only Rolex EVER made with brushed centre links and maxi dial. For instance, the Sub Date 1680 and some of the 5513 had maxi dials, too. But the LV is the only CURRENT Rolex with brushed centre links and a maxi dial. The coming DSSD with have brushed centre links and a maxi dial, too.

Thanks guys. I had no idea the Maxi Dial had some history to it. Makes the LV even better.

Hey I learned something new today. I've seen some pictures of the older Maxi-Dial watches and didn't even notice they were Maxi-Dialed.

Awesome Submariner 5513 there Mike!
There are other like dials with what one may term maxi dials. For example this 16750 was made around 1980 and the lume was very large in comparison to a lot of other GMT dials both before and after. I don't know if you would call it a maxi dial, but in the late 1970's there were a number of sports models with large luminous markers that one may say fall within the 'maxi dial' definition.
