I wasn’t very excited about much of anything from Basel this year, but I will say that I plan to attempt to acquire this watch. I personally believe it will be SPECTACULAR in the flesh

I think it's pretty cool. However, is it really a watch for "Retro-Grouch"?

JayHantz · 29 March 2019, 03:11 AM

I was actually impressed with some of the shots from Basel regarding this piece. I know there are those who dislike it (which makes collecting fun that we all have different tastes) but I rather like it.

Good luck getting it and I look forward to possibly seeing an “incoming!”

mjclark32 · 29 March 2019, 03:12 AM

I think it's a cool piece. The instagram videos of it in real life were legit

ZOOK · 29 March 2019, 03:14 AM

It's come up a couple times, at least.

Unique and very beautiful

beshannon · 29 March 2019, 03:16 AM

I need to see it in the metal

904VT · 29 March 2019, 03:17 AM

Love this watch and have always been a big fan of any meteorite dials

The Libertine · 29 March 2019, 03:18 AM

Pass for me.

toxicavenger · 29 March 2019, 03:21 AM

It doesnt' look readable at a quick glance.

Rokoru · 29 March 2019, 03:32 AM

I saw some great live pictures of Baselworld and I think it looks awesome!

Fine looking watch but tough to read the time with this dial.

hodie9 · 29 March 2019, 03:34 AM

I'm interested in checking it out in person and then deciding.

zetaplus93 · 29 March 2019, 03:34 AM

I think it looks great and would try to get it if I had the budget.

Looks similar to the legendary white dial Pan Am GMT from the 60s, here’s to hoping there’s a white dial GMT sometime in the near future...

dhknola · 29 March 2019, 03:38 AM

I think that watch is amazing! I probably could never afford it, but I am sucker for meteorite.

schoolboy · 29 March 2019, 03:39 AM

I personally like it Jason

I hope you acquire it and post an incoming with pics!

Agree with both.

But good legibility on a gmt watch is important to me, so pass for me

I still prefer the blue dial BLRO

Undefeatable · 29 March 2019, 03:42 AM

I love meteorite dials, but I think they should have gone with a darker tone meteorite. As it is now, the hands/indicies/dial all sort of blend together.

dnpina · 29 March 2019, 03:45 AM

I really like it.

i guess each meteorite dial is individually unique, each with own personality.

sportsmaven20 · 29 March 2019, 03:51 AM

As others have mentioned, I can definitely see legibility issues with the dial/hands combination.

This Retro-grouch has a couple watches that don’t fit that mold. Read WG blue Ceramic Sub, Platinum Daytona, and Platinum DD

This should fit quite nicely with several of my other watches.

Maxy · 29 March 2019, 04:01 AM

I too like it now. Good you posted a pic with a GMT hand!

faimag · 29 March 2019, 04:04 AM

+1 for liking it

TK116710 · 29 March 2019, 04:07 AM

This would be an instant add in my collection.... if I had the funds.

For now, I'll be looking forward to the incoming pics!

Number3 · 29 March 2019, 04:07 AM

I love it but would really like to see it on steel with a jubilee.

m j b · 29 March 2019, 04:11 AM

I agree, it's a nice watch but since I can't easily tell what time it is, it's not for me.

You guys keep saying this......am I to believe a Rolex tells time???

rod442 · 29 March 2019, 04:42 AM

Would have been interesting if it had black, or maybe even blue hands to improve legibility. Still, if I had the budget for a piece in this range, I would get one in a heartbeat.

Maybe even over my "grail" of a WG Smurf.

nick800 · 29 March 2019, 04:44 AM

I'd wear it
