I really don't understand meteorite dials. They look awful in my opinion.

Given your list of options I'd take the white Daytona.

The bias with these type of posts are that most people will choose the most expensive reference. Hard to separate from that. I don't get the love for the meteorite dial so for me, Sky D because I have a big wrist.

If money was no object, and my subjective views....

1. Meteorite GMT
(-) Looks gorgeous
(-) Harder to read in some light
(-) Love the WG
(-) Probably the most useful complication for my life

2. Sky-Dweller Blue
(-) Amazing annual calendar
(-) So easy to read
(-) Love the look, casual and dressy

3. CHNR
(-) Best TT in the collection
(-) Useful complication
(-) Versatile

4. Daytona
(-) Classic and always going to be in demand
(-) Chronograph complication is nice, but not needed much
(-) Harder to read
(-) I dislike the five lines of text

1. Meteorite GMT
2. If you have larger wrist / like larger watches - SkyD
2. If you have smaller wrist / like smaller watches - Daytona
3. Solid gold CHNR

Of those options it’d have to be the CHNR for me.

Reading the time at a glance is one of the first things I look for in a watch these days, and the dials on the meteorite, Daytona and SkyDweller are more difficult to read IMO.

Did you purposefully place the meteorite gmt at the bottom of the list?

I'd rather have the standard GMT versus the meteorite GMT.

I would pick the white Daytona based on the above choices, however, would rather have the black dial.

Having said that, if I was going to spend meteorite GMT money, I would get a Daytona in white gold blue dial.

Hope your incoming thread will feature the meteorite GMT, it really is no contest between your options.
