GMT meteorite Pepsi is my grail, and thus my answer. Congrats on being in such a blessed position to have a shot at both this year!

Personally, i'd pick the meteorite pepsi. But if you were classy you'd go with the diamond stick platona.



But come on... meteorite... is... so limited that they are selling them on etsy...

Platinum Daytona if you’re ok with the weight.

Tough choice- GMT BLRO if you want a date, ceramic bezel for daily wear, and the functionality. If above reasons don’t matter and it’s pure aesthetics, Daytona.

I own the GMT meteorite and I wouldn’t trade for the plat Daytona…. But I very much appreciate it for what it is.

Platona gets the nod in this instance.

Lots of dial options for metorite. Not many for ice blue dial. So Platona in my books.

Both stunning, but the Platona takes it here easily, IMO.

I would go with the GMT because of how how cool meteorite dial looks. That being said I have never actually seen one in person, so hopefully it looks as good as it does in the photos and doesn't disappoint.

Which one do you prefer? surely thats all that matters?

If you cant decide, then which fills the bigger hole in your collection.

Overall I like the GMT line more but in this case I’d choose the Daytona. The baguette Diamond dial looks so good but I’d be just as happy with the meteorite GMT.

Not a fan of meteorite dials, but I much prefer the GMT complication …

I’d still take the Daytona in this case
