I also build custom watches, mind sharing where you sourced the Gibeon Meteorite dial? The Meteorite dials I'm finding dont look anything like that.

Well Lee am not in a position to buy a $45k watch (assuming could bet one at retail, unrealistic) , so doubt would ever own the Rolex version. Am happy to wear it as what it is, a nice custom meteorite dial GMT.

Adam they would basically put anything you ask for when you pay extra for custom labeling. Asked for Seiko on the top since as Lee said does have a Seiko movement inside (NH-34A). On the bottom wording they showed me a dial with that wording and liked it so decided to use it rather than the Marinemaster used on the one they had on their website from another client which was the starting point for my buildup (shown on post 13 above) or any other custom wording

The dial was supplied by One for One Mods; the company that supplies them is called Dial Maker:

They sent me pictures of various dials that were available and decided to pick that one as had a pattern that I liked. Here a couple of other patterns they offered me:

I felt the same way about mine. I was offered to choose between the CHNR and the meteorite BLRO, and went in convinced I’d get the CHNR, but the Meteorite felt like the perfect end piece. I wear it occasionally mostly because I end up looking at it and not driving or doing what I am supposed to do

Would they also print Rolex with logo on it or do they respect copyrights? It looks like they are trying to get really close to the original WG GMT from Rolex.

Don’t have an answer as was never my intention to do that so didn’t asked.
