Maybe in the minority, but does anyone else think these meteorite Daytona's look too busy? I think out of all them I personally like the RG oysterflex with the added black of the bezel and the bracelet. Maybe I would change my mind if I ever saw one in person.

IMO you need the CE Bezel and in person they are stunning. I absolutely love mine!

I agree. I’m reading a book right now about mimetic theory and the first connection to a real-world example was the watch industry as of late, and this reference and the frenzy behind it is further proof. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I must admit though, this is the first photo I’ve seen that any of these meteorite variations like appealing (to me, at least). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Man, that's awesome. I was the first person during the trunk show to request that white gold one... was given thumbs up but he said it would be "forever long". Not even in production at the time (Spring) they showed me the demo ones, he claimed. The meteorite is incredible and features so much 3D variation with light. Plus it's a true panda dial, albeit a space panda. Sadly, if selling for triple I suspect backdoor deals will be too tempting for many ADs.... Can't wait to see more of these pop up at any rate.

My personal opinion about the meteorite dial in a Daytona is that it is too crowded. It bothers too much. A meteorite dial is stunning when you see it as a whole.
So it is not my cup of tea

Heres mine from the Uk believe this to be the first in the country.. photos dont do it justice! I heard similar they are head office AD authorised at least and not likely to see a big production run.

I've been hoping to get a Meteorite Daytona from my AD, but it seems that might not be happening so I went another route recently to satisfy the itch. Very jealous, enjoy that amazing piece! |

Did your AD share or hint at what level of purchase history was needed to get a meteorite dial? Harder or easier for specific variations? WG RG YG OF? Difficulty compared to say the green dial YG daytona? Compared to a steel white dial daytona? More difficult thant he GMT meteorite? |

My AD sees 1-2 green dial Daytonas per year. Not 1 meteorite delivered yet. I expect them to see 1 a year unless things change. |

Congratulations. I'm apparently high on the list for a white gold on OF but again told it's by allocation from Head Office only - still they're optimistic I'll get one but it may be 1-2 years if Head Office give me the nod.
