Makes one of the most legible Rolex dials into one of the least IMO.

BLRO Meteorite!!!

My favorite 2019 release by far. Seriously considering putting my name in for it.

It sure doesn't help with legibility, but I kinda like it, TBH. For some reason.

I wouldn’t buy one personally, but think it’s a cool addition to the GMT II lineup.

I actually do like it, but it does hurt my eyes a bit and seems a bit busy

Part of me really likes it and part of me thinks noooo. I need to see it in person to make my mind up. Shouldn't be hard to do as I doubt they will be flying out of AD cases when they arrive.

I'd have to see it in person to make the true judgement but online it seems it would be difficult to tell the time.

because Rolex hardcores refuse to give omega credit for the moonwatch and always point to the personal GMT watches owned by astronauts that unofficially went into space.... Meteorite dial = space ... ergo space dweller

Meteorite has a lot of depth with the naked eye. They don’t photograph well but on the wrist it should be easy to read.

I saw a similar meteorite dial on a DD and it was gorgeous. Pictures don't do it justice. It looks three dimensional. It is a seriously awesome dial. Who cares about reading the time, I'm just mesmerized by the dial.

it's annoying how Rolex makes beautiful swiss watches but they understand that there is a market for stupid wealthy people like Cardi B or Jay Z so they have to make watches like this.

This and the Daytona that were released are not in good taste.

They shouldn't appeal to wealthy celebs who have no taste.

Someone put their thinking cap on this morning. Be careful or you will inadvertently give it a nickname....
