Sexy, congrats. I don't understand the Quartz reference, for rarity?

Amazing! Do you prefer one over the other? Can you post a side by side?

Eisenkiesel is a quartz stone found in Germany.

That was my guess many hours after writing that, thank you for clarifying.

It was a bit of a joke, as Quartz stone used for the dial. Eisenkiesel being a type of quartz.

Movement is the normal mechanical one.

Thanks all.

I thought too that these were worth sharing as there are not many good quality images of either model. Both being rather rare.

I agree that both dials work perfectly with the choice of precious metal for each.

Agree too that the use of diamonds is very subtle. I do not normally like diamonds on my watches, but these work perfectly and pass for normal indices unless you look closely. There is also a certain logic to using stone indices on a stone dial :)

Smooth bezel and the very white lustre of platinum actually enhances the meteorite dial, bringing it more to attention.

I will take more pics as requested. As to which I prefer, it's too early to say, as I only just got the Eisenkiesel, but have had the Meteorite one for a little while (and absolutely adore it).

Thanks all :)

Interesting how the two watches have divided a few opinions, with some loving one but not the other.

For me, the two watches are like chalk and cheese, despite being ostensibly the same model. So I feel ok with owning both :)

I took a macro of it for you

It's super hard to photograph though, and the sunlight showed up any dust specks.

Thank you. It's absolutely stunning. Will reserve judgement until I see it in the flesh but will ask my AD for one. From pictures alone this is the best DD I have ever seen. Thanks again and wear in good health my friend.

The Eisenkiesel dial is amazing. The DD40 YG needs a special dial like this.

I feel the Eisenkiesel stone colours work perfectly with rose gold, but wouldn't be quite such a perfect match with yellow gold.

The diamond baguette indices also have a lot of sparkle due to the dark stone dial, and the darker rose gold works to enhance them too.
