Reasons I prefer the White Gold Meteorite over SS Black:

* The amazing beauty of the meteorite dial. Beautiful in low light and unbelievable in the sunshine.

* Much more legible.

* Much prefer the beautiful romans over the modified sticks of the SS dial.

* The red hands are simply too cool for school, especially with the contrasting black leather strap.

* The leather strap is a nice, more sophisticated look when compared to the Oysters and rubber straps of most of my other watches.

* Rarity; you don't see these bad boys every day.

* There's something really special about 18k white gold; can't quite put words to it just yet but I can definitely feel it.

* Did I mention the beauty of the meteorite dial?

That's my GRAIL watch too... I can't wait to own that beauty. Congrats...

Lovely watch. Enjoy!

Just wondering, how do they get the meteorite to put on the dial?

Huge congrats, a WG watch definitely feels different. Looks like steel, but feels like gold.

Gorgeous. Love the dial. Is the entire watch white gold? If not, which parts are white gold? Is that a leather strap? I can't see. So, is just the dial WG and is it 18K? I have not seen one like this and it is really really nice. I wonder if they make a woman's version of this in WG?
