Tried on New Meteorite Daytona(s) (+others)

I was able to try on some of the new models yesterday at a local AD who had them all in for the day only. The Daytona's are beautiful but the DD stole the show due to how it wore. Didn't take enough pics but here are a few

Thanks for sharing.
DD looks very nice.

Meteorite dial is very special, but for some reason the chrono subdials take some of the effect. I personally prefer meteorite dial on GMT or DD.

Thanks for sharing. I haven’t seen the meteorite dial Daytona yet, but I think that it’s my fav of the meteorite dials as it’s the most legible and the dial just looks so great. Personally, and maybe I should start a thread on this, but I prefer the look of white gold to platinum as yellow gold looks better on my skin (and white gold has a bit of that YG glow). So I find the YG DD better than the platinum one. Goes to show you that we’re all different though!

No insides apparently, although the AD said they had been given one allocation of the rose gold Daytona meteorite for the whole year and it was obviously spoken for

Keen to see a "real" meteorite a member has picked up. Only a single "unicorn" on DSW thus far - probably sold before actual delivery on a promise - if sold at all.......

Very nice. I love the feel the platinum daydate. I'm trying to figure a way to add one to my collection.
