If you could pick one?

If you had to pick one of the following what would you pick and why?

Blue Sky
White Daytona
Two tone GMT Root beer
Or
Meteorite GMT

I’m torn on which one I like in person better.

It beautiful and love the uniqueness of every dial. But yes, it’s a lot of money.

Agreed, and I love that no dial will look the same as anyone else but yes, it’s a lot of money

I agree, loved it in person but it is a lot of money! And it is quite a bit heavier then my SS models but I like the feel

Rootbeer (CHNR).

Meteorite looks tacky. Skip that mess. I used to have some older Rolex watches that had some wacky dial patterns (that were in vogue at the time) but I got sick of looking at them years later. Skip the strange dial patterns.

If I have the budget for a Meteorite GMT. I'd get the Blue Sky and White Daytona.

Is that a hypothetical question thread or are you actually offered any of those??
If it’s a real life scenario and not fiction then I would say the blue skydweller
It’s the most stunning, most versatile and most useful/functional in your list

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.
