Santa is waaaay early with grail
OK, so it wasn't really Santa. But it is really my grail.
Just upgraded from SS Black Dial Daytona to this previously enjoyed white gold beauty and couldn't be happier. 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? |

Dial is very nice. Agree with everything apart from the leather band part.
I prefer the Oyster on the Daytona. That meteorite with red hands contrast is just wow though. |

Quite a beauty, congratulations. Hoping for a platinum DD myself, but don't think I've been good enough...or bad enough.
