My first and the only one Daytona

I posted my meteorite Daytona a while ago on WUS, just want to share with you guys. I guess people in TRF don't mind seeing more Daytona photos! Sorry that if you have seen them before.

The dial is indeed special and unique, though I found a rust spot not long time ago. It is really amazing that the dial was from outer space and already billions years old! How cool is that! It's also interesting that meteorite is considered as "Fire" in Chinese Wu Xing, hence some people don't like it because it might bring bad luck to them!

Last photo above the letter "L" of OFFICIALLY. It's small but clearly visible under 10x.
