GMT Meteorite dial how perfect is your watches?

[kans86]

I know every Meteorite dial is unique and no two dials are similar to each other. Also some dials maybe more perfect than others.

Curious to know how owners of GMT Meteorite like your watches? do you find the Meteorite dials of your GMT perfect or any particular details/patterns of the dials that you don't like or wish they were not there? or every dial, despite some imperfect details, is still beautiful?

Would love to hear your views and see photos of your watches as well.

I have it on the DD40. It's absolutely amazing. the patterns are totally different from every possible angle, although i could defintely identify mine looking from one certain angle.

I have yet to see on that doesn't look good! (sorry no photo iphone broken)

Have it on my JLC and absolutely love it. I’ve always wanted a meteorite dial and I can’t believe it took me this long to get one.

Yes the DD meteorite I saw last time was also perfect. But a few GMT meteorite I saw some dials I prefer than others. Some dials have some imperfections such as some areas are darker or stray from the overall patterns. I guess because meteorite is rock so it is very hard to have the perfect ones. But I want to know how do you see such imperfect details.

I don't know that JLC makes meteorite dials as well.

That would be down to you to decide for yourself, but i had a hard time even finding one to buy, let alone look at. It'll be very difficult to keep looking untill you find one you like. Personally haven't seen on that i don't like.

Yes this dial is almost perfect to my eyes.

[TswaneNguni]

Its not meant to be perfect ,its not a paint job.

[karlsbad69]

They are all different and will look amazing or not... depending on what angle and lighting conditions.

All meteorite dials looks amazing. The ONLY thing that I would avoid when buying one is if there was a major line/prominent area on the dial that takes away from the other sections of the dial.

As long as most of the patterns are even and well distributed throughout the dial I would be fine with it. There would be no 2 that are the same

Indeed this is what I mean.I think most Meteorite dials have some sort of undesirable details, and want to know if your watch have such issues. Of course some owners just accept them. Also perhaps Rolex has certain standards for those dials.

Meteorite dials may be too chaotic for German standards

They have made several over the years. Here's mine but it is now discontinued.

Could be. I actually passed a GMT Meteorite at a good offer because that particular dial had a small section which didn't follow the overall patterns, though the dealer tried to convince me that every dial is random. But then I rarely saw a perfect dial.

I understand the dial has been stabilized, but does anyone know of any instances where it "flakes" off at any point? would be interesting to know..

Polished meteorite is very smooth, I’ve never seen it flake off in any of the specimen examples I’ve seen.

I’ve noticed some that have pretty noticeable (and perhaps distractingly) nonconforming marks. Still if offered one at list, I’d buy it in a heartbeat.

My buddy has the GMT, and he loves it but he does say it is difficult to read at times!!?? It does look amazing in person, always jealous when I see it.

[fskywalker]

Love the look of them! Anyone here has one on a 36mm Datejust?

I find it interesting that on the watch you tried on the ‘31’ looks rubbed off almost. The other picture of this watch that’s higher up in the thread doesn’t appear to have the same issue. Lovely watch btw. I would be interested if still in production.

How can you tell it's a different meteorite?

Agreed lovely looking watch.

Etched pattern characteristics...

[SearChart]

It is a 'natural' product just like the burl wood dials. Some may prefer a pattern over another, but they're all unique.

Personally they're all perfect to me, have seen many of them inside and outside of watches.
