Meteorite incoming ...


Picked up this today, I cannot express how good the dial is the most unique and beautiful way I own.

This is the last Rolex I will buy I have bought everything I have wanted and will be nothing new incoming for a while. I intend to make a post about my watch collecting journey, and share my collection with you all soon, I’m going to get them all in one place and take some photos. I only started seriously collecting Rolex at the beginning of last year, and I have acquired a lot in that time. Time to step back and enjoy what I have, potentially consolidate a bit.

However for now, here is some pictures of my new day date 40 meteorite dial :) strangely I have never been a fan of white gold and have ended up here, if you’re on the fence about a meteorite dial and have the means to do it, my advice is DO IT! My photo skills are a fraction of the skills of people on here lol but I tried to make an effort with these ones... I cannot seem to reflect the dial, and the way it changes in the light and different angles in the photos.

And how cool is the fact that this dial is actually out of space!

Absolutely stunning! Unless you’re 90 years old I doubt it’s your last Rolex. Amazing pair of DD you have.

Stunning dial! I’m seeing this watch in a new light after seeing some of the amazing dials such as this in recent posts on TRF. Wants!

Stunning. Did you purchase it new from AD? I tried on one recently from grey but was hesitant about its price.

so the story is, i tried it on at an AD, liked it alot but had the same concern as you. i think its £41,000 list. Anyway i decided it, what the hell i'm going to buy it. called back and it was gone.

I started searching for one and they're very difficult to come buy on Grey market, alot of the listed ones, aren't actually in stock. i paid around ten per cent off the list in the end, 2 months old. A friend of mine was able to source one for me. Seeing the recent success of the meteorite GMT i beleive these will be harder to come by.

But for the sake of a few per cent if its at the AD and you have the means, get it!! i was kicking myself.
