Meterorite dials resilience

How resilient are meterorite dials?

Asking cos I'm looking at getting a Sartory Billard with meteorite dial. Always like the idea and from an independent.

The watch would be worn and likely daily. Obviously anything with impact or the gym, it'll be off.

Don't want to be in teh position where the dial breaks and it'll be a hefty shipping and repair back at Sartory Billard.

Vs a standard dial where it's going to be more sturdy

This is my $500 meteorite dial watch


I’m sure the thickness is different from someone’s $10,000 watch.
Since your wanting specific info on on specific makers meteorite dial, I think checking with Sartory is your safest bet.

Not a daily and I’ve only had it for 7 months but it’s doing great so far.

Very hard to capture everything that goes on with the dial in a pic.

ETA- I thought these pics did some justice to the dial but seeing them uploaded, they are so flat and characterless compared to the dial IRL.
