Going against the grain here.... I do like it. The only new piece put out this year that is remotely interesting

FloridaRolexGuy23 · 20 March 2019, 11:27 PM

Looks like they are gonna offer it in blue as well, a plus for those that don’t care for the meteorite.

from a distance i like it more than the blue dial. If it was just a white dial, it would be better to me

RobearH · 20 March 2019, 11:29 PM

Looks hard to tell time on so MEH...I like the blue one though.

Well that was a really short production for Mk.1 blue BLRO without coronet. I still think they really messed things up here. They probably should’ve introduced a Coke instead of Pepsi last year. These WG BLROs are just out of place here. Everyone knows this watch looks best with a black dial but it won’t sell with a steel version out there.

FloridaRolexGuy23 · 20 March 2019, 11:37 PM

The price on the 2018 blue dial is gonna be laughable on the grey market 50? 60? 70k? Wouldn’t doubt it.

Uppersouth · 20 March 2019, 11:38 PM

I like it. I think the silverish white color of the meteorite dial matches nicely with the white gold. I think it makes the watch look larger and for me that’s a good thing.

Not sure what to make of it. But it could grow on you.

This is by far the best release from them this year. Right up there with the new Chocolate Panda combinations on the Daytona.

Manu77 · 21 March 2019, 12:06 AM

More or less.

JPS · 21 March 2019, 12:06 AM

An absolute disgrace!

Doubt it. pm models rarely experience anything like that and now there will be no shortage of blue dials on the market.

Add that to my ever-expanding list of modern inventions/enhancements I just don't get.

I'm in a very foul mood after this release... Very irritated!

its that nice.... to me

Karaez · 21 March 2019, 12:21 AM

I love it!

there is a "Pan-Am" vibe to me with this one

antoflo · 21 March 2019, 12:24 AM

just fun to see but I question the legibility...

antoflo · 21 March 2019, 12:24 AM

No need for it, sorry

I wonder how the new dial looks in person.
Always loved the blue dial and happy it's not discontinued.

Well at least someone can be happy!

karlsbad69 · 21 March 2019, 12:36 AM

Love it!!!!

Been wanting a light GMT dial for a long time. Very Pan-Am-ish

Onikage · 21 March 2019, 12:38 AM

Takes away from the pop of the markers Imo. It's just not very GMT.. y.

awol123 · 21 March 2019, 12:39 AM

yhzdude · 21 March 2019, 12:40 AM

This and the Daytona that were released are not in good taste.

They shouldn't appeal to wealthy celebs who have no taste.

one was a stripper and the other a drug dealer...just saying
