Meteorite dials are the ultimate expression of uniqueness in a watch. No two dials are the same. Thanks for sharing the link.

Fantastic watch, had a Dayto meteorite on leather that i sold. I regret it. Indeed each watch is unique. Plus you know it comes from far, so far from the universe.

The article says Rolex currently sells a Meteorite dial Dayto...

I can’t see any of that on Rolie website. If someone sees it, please provide me the link so i can run to my AD to order it.

It is an option on the configurations on Rolex.com, as long as you select white gold and fluted bezel, it will show as a dial option.

Meteorite dials are absolutely wonderful looking. They tend to be included in watches that will depreciate a fair amount if purchased at an AD unless one gets one hell of a discount. Now buying a slightly used one is a possibility but still very pricey.

How cool would it be if they offered this dial on a DJ.

It's amazing how much different the meteorite looks in person compared to pictures. Much nicer in person.

Even my wife was attracted to a meteorite Daytona when we were in Vegas. It's definitely unique

Tactical meant meteorite-dial Daytona while you got him speaking of DD40. As far as I know meteorite dial for Daytona is out of availability at the present moment.
