My New Meteorite Daytona

my little WG Meteorite reveals a new personality in every light, at every angle- can't take my eyes off it. At sunset too...

Bob, I don't think you can use "Meteorite dial" and "too many pics" in the same sentence. The red hands really pop on that Daytona dial!

What a beautiful watch. All I can say is WOW! You not only have a fine mechanical timepiece but a piece of space as well. How cool is that!

Congratulations. I would be staring at it as well.

Love the pictures of that beautiful meteorite dial.

When it comes to the beautiful watches we own, there is no such thing as too many pictures.

Firstly Bob, congratulations on your new Meteorite Daytona, the pics are great.
Secondly, to help you out of a fix, you could always SELL your new S/S Daytona to ME , as that is one that I would hope to get next.
