How long do you think

Hi all how long do you think it would take to get a meteorite dial gmt in the UK with no purchase history from an AD ?
Thanks
Mark

Just a little less time than it would take for one to land in your yard.

It taken me so far 2.5 years to try to get a Sub date and still none the wiser as to when, good luck on your quest, as it’s a pricier item it may be more obtainable.

I have asked... they had one priority customer asking for one who’s been waiting two years. Ad has never seen one. I would jump at the chance if I could find one.

I think I’d ask around. Market forces feel like they are changing pretty quick and it wouldn’t hurt to call a couple different places to get a lay off the land.

Haha, loved your response.

OP - I don’t live in the U.K., but they are hard to come by where I’m from. I hope you can find one soon.

Not the meteorite dial but i had the opportunity to buy the blue dial 126719BLRO before Christmas. Just couldn't bring myself to spend 30k on a watch. Scared the life out of me.

Wait until the AD’s re-open and some small sense or normality returns.

I’d wager a large group like Aurum will make that appear within a couple of months. That’s a sale they won’t want to lose.

I doubt that there is a long queue of people waiting for this piece (although who knows what salespeople will tell you). I would just enquire with a few different ADs and wait for the call(s).
