I much prefer the blue dial, and prefer the black dial version before the blue.

I love how each dial is very unique and non-replicable! The white dial makes it even more appealing!
I wish they make a ss white dial of it!

It’s a beautiful watch, there is no doubt, but owning a platinum dial yachtmaster I’m not so sure if legibility would be an issue?
It would be a tough call between this and the blue dial for me because of this.

I can say in person when i had both blue dial and meteorite dial on the meteorite was far more special and the way the light sparkles of it. Comes of elegant :)

I have spent some time going back and forth asking myself "do I love the meteorite dial or am I just supposed to love it?"

I'm going to go for the blue dial. I think it's more versatile and understated compared to the meteorite dial.

I don't think you get that watch so that you'll know the time. :-)

But, yeah, I get your point and thought the same. Yet, I think I could manage.

Haha good point!

One thing is for sure...when that lume is glowing the dial is clear as day, and it's about the best that blue lume has ever looked.

I have to say it was a no for me, even after trying it on! Lovely watch but I prefer my Black dial one.

I don't know that we are supposed to love the meteorite. If it didn't have a special meaning for me maybe I wouldn't, as the blue is for sure more understated and versatile. There seems to be almost 10k difference in grey market so there is also that speaking for blue unless you buy from AD.
