Where are the METEORITE DAYTONAS?

Any sightings?! Very interested in 116508 meteorite availability.

Historically, the new PM models always take the longest to hit the market from announcement. Most are saying around Oct for deliveries. I’m waiting for a 116505 in meteorite.

idk, but kind of annoying how they make announcements in april 2021 and it's more than half way through the year and no sightings... why not take jan - april to get everything ready to go? these 2021 releases might as well be labeled as 2022 releases...

I think I saw one on a Unicorn last night, but can’t be sure; the flying pigs obstructed my view.

My AD reckons that they (WoS) will see maybe 1 Meteorite Daytona in 2021 and possibly 3 in 2022, thats across the group, they have over a dozen people waiting for one, those waiting are regular customers with WoS, a walk-in has no chance apparently.

It could be a long wait.

What's the point I ask myself - I can't even get a Pepsi from WOS even with a 6 Rolex long history with the AD and my name having been down since release (I was #11 on the list at that point in time as they were numbering the 'interest' cards as they were received).

Still waiting.......

Walk-ins - only with a shot-gun
Previous History - Not a chance
VIPs - Expect a long wait
Super VIPs - get in line. But give your rep's ego a stroke and you might get lucky

Am I bitter... with the ADs maybe.
Over it.... yup
Wish I could deal with Rolex direct - yes, at least it's their product.

I know that for bucherer, order of arrival has little meaning. You could be the first to have ever walked the shop, asked for a watch, and be vastly outranked by somebody picking up the phone to the director’s cellular number.

GMT Meteorite dial and Daytona Meteorite Dial it’s very hard to received even with VIP status on AD….. I think this pieces will become a ghost on the wild….

My old AD had never seen the YG Daytona green dial ever and then they lost their Rolex franchise. My new AD has never seen the YG Daytona green dial since they first came out years ago. 0 + 0 = SOL for me

Meteorite dial Daytona, fuugedaboudit…

100% agree with you here.

If you can't get them to stores, why not announce them when you can get them to stores????

Probably an indication your new AD is also set up to be on their way out too.

If they aren't being allocated these pieces, they aren't important enough and if they aren't important enough, they are expendable.

I lost both of my ADs earlier this year.

Didn't they say those would arrive in July? Probably all delivered, and none is a forum member - yet.

I, too, have been searching regularly on here, C24, IG for anybody posting a pic of one to just know they're arriving. Have not found one yet.

I was told I’d have my 116505 meteorite by December/January…I highly doubt it but we’ll see. Cannot wait to see some pics finally arrive here.

Yeah, that same thought has been in the back of my mind. I’ve reached out to other ADs I’ve met including a boutique store out west. Just hoping for a miracle

My guess typical size ad will get 1 or 2 for 2021. The chance of getting one is pretty slim unless you are their top 2 customers. Good luck

Finding one is as rare as actually being struck by a meteorite!

My rep at my AD is very cool and tells me like it is. I’m nowhere near the top of the list for one, but I am on the list. My guess is 3-5 years for a “good” (not great) relationship.
