Thanks for the education! I didn't know any of that!

Actually, quite rare as a dial on Rolex GMT + Daytona. The actual meteor the dials are sourced from has a special story. Each and every is unique. Nothing like it on planet earth. Why own a Rolex when any watch can tell you the time??

Not hype to me. Out of this world.

Those that enjoy them can….. those that don’t…….

Different expressions no, different looks yes and any look of a meteorite dial is not appealing to me.
