Love this dial. Hope to get a meteorite daytona in the future.

Should also change the bezel style to WG style - if you really want to imitate the real WG meteorite daytona.

Looks great, one of the best things about Daytonas are the range of nice dials to choose from. Dial swap into clearly an SS model is fine but no WG bezel as well, that's too much.

looks good, but are you aware how polished that Daytona is? looks like someone took it against an orbital.

Love it - however this is obviously an aftermarket mod using a genuine Rolex dial, my question is will Rolex still service this piece or will you have to use an independent?
