Good link.

For around $1000 you get a fair lump of amazing meteorite. Enough to make a hundred thinly sliced watch dials.

That actually would be worth quite a fortune, Steve...for its uniqueness and rarity!!

Wish I had kept mine from 1600 AD!!

Those Rolex sports models are so big and clunky! I'll stick with my Rolex Cellini dress model.

Steve, that is one beautiful watch. Although, I do prefer it on a black strap. Having tried it on for size, I can attest to its absolute beauty on the wrist.

I just wish I could justify the price.

I've been hankering for an etched meteorite slice for a while. I just contacted the seller in the link to see if this one that caught my eye is still available.

You can bet that if I get it, it won't see the grinder!
