Those wrist shot photos are awesome. My wife has been hinting at her own desire for a rose gold piece...and the Daytona works well for men and women....man I’m already scheming! Problem is I’ll probably never get to wear it!

White gold meteorite on rubber is spectacular.

Looks good.
Lack of a bracelet is a deal breaker.

Absurd refusal to supply PM w bracelet and ceramic bezel on the Daytona ?

These metorite dials sometimes feel like gambling. The sample WG OF dial almost looks a bit gimicky or bad pattern with how it looks in the top half, but then the RG looks so stunning IMHO.

Wish I could say I like the meteorite dial, seems like they just tried to trick it out. Even on the GMT, makes any dial much mo busy

I don't love the Space-ona. I think the meteorite dial looks nice on a WG DD or the GMT, but the last thing a Daytona needs is a non-solid dial color. But of course it's all subjective and I hope those that love it, get it.

I’d rather have the pepsi meteorite. the daytona subdials cover the interesting and unique meteorite patterns.

Given it's the same reference than the existing, WG Daytona OF, do you know if the dial can be swapped at the RSC from a standard dial to a meteroite?
Is it something possible for the others meteorite models (GMT etc.)?

Get this watch while you can! It will jump in resale value, as the Daytona track will be moving to mars/space.

Love it! I think it looks great. I can't comment on legibility but I think Rolex hit a home run with it. I don't know that I'd trade my existing 519LN in for it, but if I was currently in the market, it would definitely be up for consideration.

No, it is not. (At least not anytime soon.)

I'm wondering when the meteorite dial Daytona's will start showing up at the ADs? I have only seen a couple posted online. Anyone else take delivery yet?

These are going to be serious watches and extremely limited. I doubt that the average WIS will have a chance to touch one any where near MSRP.

Yep, I have the yellow gold one. 116518. I really like the dial. Sorry I deleted my picture from my phone but posted it to that meteorite Daytona thread. Ken has the rose gold on bracelet. It looks incredible.
