Which meteorite is more rare - Daytona or Pepsi

Does anyone know which one is more rare or a unicorn?

I see more Pepsi being listed but not too many Daytona meteorite with oyster bracelet. I see a lot more rubber version. Pepsi does look so nice but I am a Daytona guy.

Thanks for all your feedbacks.

I've seen less of that model of Daytona online, so I'm guessing it's rarer

Right now? Probably Daytona because it hasn’t been in the catalog as long as the Pepsi.

As others have said, the BLRO meteorite has been out longer. I believe two years longer.

Both are equally rare. My AD has gotten 2 BLRO's since inception and 1 Daytona.

I personally feel the BLRO is more special than the Daytona when it comes to Meteorite Dials.

My AD with multiple locations gets one GMT per year. I would think with multiple Daytona PM choices and the choice of OF or full PM bracelet, dollars to donuts, more Daytonas would be trickling out.

The GMT Meteorite has a larger canvas to showcase its crystalline patterns, and is void of three holes cut into the dial, I agree with you.

The Daytona Meteorite per my AD is the toughest to get now. He sold me his first one a 116508 last week and that’s quite a while after release to get one. He said he expects to see one a year in different metals. I do see more of them on the OF vs bracelet as well. He also owns a large store and gets great allocations.

All the GMT meteorite owners are going to say the GMT and all the Daytona meteorite owners will say the Daytona. So just add up the responses and you’ll have your answer.

Totally joking…but yeah, the GMT is definitely rarer



Unless it’s not….

I'd like the Daytona on OF with a ceramic bezel.

That's just it. Even if every AD got 1 each a year ( which they don't ) the demand far outstrips the supply by a magnitude of 10.

My AD got more Rainbow Daytona's last year than they did Meteorite GMT's (2/1).

Does that mean Rainbow Daytona's are less rare than GMT's ? :)

I really doubt your AD got Rainbow Daytonas

There's certainly more BLRO Meteorites floating around secondary. I think the Daytona is more rare, certainly in full PM.
