How tough do we predict the WG Meteorite Daytona would be?

Good day

I know it's anyones guess.
I have not been excited for a long time over a new rolex, but the new oyster flex meteorite Daytona has me very week.
I'm hoping the love for the full bracelet YG and RG models takes away from the WG Oysterflex.

Something about the combination with the white metal, ceramic, and meteorite just does it for me.

I've suggested my interest to my AD, I just hope it won't be a steel panda situation all over again.(3 years and counting - I did get a Pepsi though)

We are indeed. I just hope that all the different variations means that perhaps they will be more accessible you know.
Some prefer YG, some RG, some full bracelet, etc.
But lets face it, many(myself included perhaps) will have to buy it from the grey market at whatever they command it will cost.

Its just a dial change nothing more and much like the rest of the meteorite dial Rolex line up.

Yeah. That’s what I’m hoping as well... but I hope whatever happens you can get one eventually without resorting to the grey market. I have very firm beliefs about not getting watches from the secondary dealers and would rather not have the watch than giving in to them and their scheme.

About as likely as your chances of being hit by a meteorite. Twice.

I think better off sourcing an older 116519 and applying RubberB straps.

Would the RSC change the steel dual for the meteorite on the WG OF?
