Basel Best of Show --- GMT Master II WG Meteorite Dial

The only watch I would consider buying of the new bunch. Disappointed in the rest of the show. At least this one is somewhat like the polar GMT originally for Panam executives.

When you buy, add the Polar Explorer II hands in there so you can see the time!

Not only help with legibility but would also look damn good.

I'd need a solid 25% off from this model even for me to consider owning it.

That is the best of the bunch! Rolex site looks like they are bringing the blue dial back with updated movement. Would have to see both in person but think the meteorite would be the winner.

Blue dial REALLY does nothing for me... I think the meteorite is going to be a "must see in person". Something tells me the dynamics/depth of the dial will never be properly captured in a photo but will certainly be a hit!
