Looks fantastic.

airpeace · 29 March 2019, 04:46 AM

it's a piece of art

Rags · 29 March 2019, 04:47 AM

Not really. I think it's too hard to see the hands.

cwilson13 · 29 March 2019, 05:05 AM

I like it.

The Argonaut · 29 March 2019, 05:39 AM

Just you.

jerryguo · 29 March 2019, 05:40 AM

I like it, but for the price there are too many other options to consider.

Harry-57 · 29 March 2019, 06:09 AM

It is beautiful. For me, the dial, indices and hands don't have enough contrast to be easily legible. The use of a dash of black (or any dark coloured paint), as in the Explorer Polar would make this watch irresistible to me. So I'm glad Rolex didn't do this!

I think it’s stunning! I will never own one though. It’s out of my price range.

I think it's a great looking watch, but wouldn't personally consider it for this reason.

I’ve never been a fan of meteorite dials, but to each their own.

mikkemus23 · 29 March 2019, 08:24 AM

It’s so odd it’s hot

MinMay · 29 March 2019, 08:25 AM

Ugly... I'll flip it if there's a demand for it.

VicLeChic · 29 March 2019, 08:26 AM

Looks great but would never buy a white gold watch. I'd buy it in steel in a heartbeat. I have no problem with the reduced contrast, still plenty legible to me. I find the dial stunning.

cda555 · 29 March 2019, 08:27 AM

It was the only 2019 Rolex offering I loved. I’ve always wanted to see a white dialed Pepsi GMT and this is as close as we are going to get.

Or maybe just don’t buy it to begin with?

Can anyone see the time?

mml4 · 29 March 2019, 09:13 AM

I think I prefer the blue bit I need to see the meteorite live before i order.

brucethemanlee · 29 March 2019, 09:15 AM

not really

Amochosto · 29 March 2019, 09:23 AM

I like it, and I assume if I can easily read my white dial DateJust 36, I’d be able to read the meteorite dial.

I get it, but this watch has been in reasonable demand for years....and IMHO no more legible. I believe this will be the best watch of Basel 2019. I realize that isn’t much of a title with the other releases.....but nonetheless.

I very much like that piece.

BT1985 · 29 March 2019, 09:42 AM

My favorite Basel release hands down.

Hard pass for me, but I’m not a fan of meteorite or mother of pearl dials. Just a little too ornate for me.

Too trendy like pickled kitchen cabinets. Hot 20 years ago, now out of style.

I prefer the original black dial

Old Geezer · 29 March 2019, 12:04 PM

The meteorite dials are beautiful but I find them too busy for my taste.
