GMT Meteorite



I’d literally let them all go to get it done.

Keep posting some pictures of that beauty!

Please post pics when it arrives. Congratulations are in order. It’s an absolutely amazing piece. Not as amazing as the meteorite Daytona. But close. Ha ha.

I beg to differ. The sub-dials on the Daytona covers a lot of the beautiful meteorite surface whereas you can really appreciate the Gibeon in its entirety on the open dial of the GMT.

And the date and the GMT complication makes it more practical to be worn as an everyday watch. GMT meteorite is every bit as amazing as the Daytona meteorite.

Wholeheartedly agree, you lose way too much meteorite in the Daytona.. Bang for your buck! Looking at it under the loupe is spectacular!

Of course expected the Pam hate in this matchup but it’s the obvious choice among the heavyweights. Bye Dj too

I’d say keep the Pam. You’re going to want another one. It’s not going to move the needle that much anyway

Keep them all and add on!

Fwiw if you travel and actually use your GMT for its intended purpose, wearing the WG in tropical weather etc is tough. My wrists were so swollen from the weight. I told myself that I would never wear my WG BLRO and would only take the SS BLRO with me on my travels.

If I’m going international for a few weeks I don’t like carrying multiple watches.
