I absolutely love the meteorite dial but prefer it on a DD or DJ.

Very astute observation and I’m surprised you’re the only one to comment.

I guess they may have wanted to make it look more legible

Not a fan. I prefer more contrast between the hour markers and the dial face.

The meteorite as a precious metal is very appealing to me. Outta this world man!

Personally I’m not a fan of a meteorite dial, unless there is a connection to the watch, e.g., a space watch.

Looking at something that formed at the birth of our solar system, roughly 5 billion yrs ago on your wrist is pretty awesome!
