I want to know how they thinly cut that slice?

I don't have a picture of the side or back, but yes, that is exactly how they're constructed.

This is for the 31mm Datejust, there's no meteorite available for 36mm Datejusts I believe.

Would have loved to touch it, but I just can't do that, don't want smudges on the dial!

Great Picture! Thanks for sharing!

Gab27 · 14 May 2021, 03:36 PM

Woah! Is the texture as rough at it looks? If so, how do they get the printed text so neat on a rough surface!?

Speedbird-1 · 14 May 2021, 07:06 PM

Best shot I've seen of a meteorite dial!
Gorgeous, Bas.

Are replacement dials readily available.......cost?

If the worst were to happen, (God forbid), what's the procedure?

Don't be nervous Bas!

A new dial would be about 3500 CHF, in case you damage it (water, broken crystal or a cracked dial due to a hard knock)

SemperFi · 15 May 2021, 03:08 AM

That dial is out of this world, pun intended.

Thanks for the photo Bas.

~Haze~ · 15 May 2021, 07:40 AM

So is it a white gold DJ?

Or is this an aftermarket dial? I love the meteorite dial especially on the DD.
