No more Daytona Meteorite!

I don’t see it on the Rolex website anymore.

Sad day

Why wasn’t the red and blue GMT with white meteorite called The Superman? Tired of Batman having all the fun.

Can understand the disappointment for some. I never cared for them.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re quietly reintroduced after the “new release” dust settles.

It looks ok on some models but not the Daytona. The dial is naturally busy already and the meteorite just made it messy
IMHO

They’ll bring back a lot more dials gradually with the new dial layout

It will probably come back with a ceramic bezel. Though not immediately. Probably in the next few years.

After just over a year wait, I picked mine up from a flagship UK AD last month.

They said it was the first one they'd ever seen. And now probably the last.
