As far as the meteorite, I tried it on and was underwhelmed as the 52 yr old eyes in me found it very very difficult to see the hands on a quick glance. I did not like the contrast either with the meteorite dial and Pepsi bezel. Just not for me. Here is a couple of pics of the black dial I have for reference.

Couldn't agree more my friend. I tried the meteorite in at its release and felt exactly the same.

FWIW, I feel the black dial is the better option. IMHO the blue sort of clashes with the bezel.

You've got the perfect WG GMT right there - 11 series, 3186 movement, black dial - perfect.
