That watch is spectacular! The contrast of the red hands on the meteorite dial really makes it
look great. Congratulations!

That's my favorite dial on a Daytona, and the only one I would ever own in that model. Wondrous!

The most beautiful Daytona in existence. I don't even have a price in my catologue for that, the white gold black dial is $33,000 Cdn (pretty much on par with USD).

I read an interesting post (I don't have th thread, sorry) about how the meteorites are cut and attached to a brass substrate to form the dial.

One of a kind, truely out of this world!

Congrats!!

Chris

Beautiful watch. That was going to be my next one but with the leather strap. I think I'm going to jump on the band wagon and get the SS GMT II when the prices cool down though.
Oh, by the way, hello everyone. Long time reader, first time poster.

Absolutely stunning watch, Steven. Like some of the others here, it is my grail Rolex and the only Daytona I would even consider (although the one I want is on the black leather strap). Enjoy that beauty and wear it in good health.

Beautiful watch - the one that is tempting me to chop a load of my watches in and go for broke (in both senses of the word).
