No love here for Daytona’s in general.
Now GMT’S.....that’s a different story. |

[QUOTE=LoveTheCrown;10696798]For those of you at home keeping score...... i gave the deposit on the GMT Meteorite. This has been my grail for a long long time and I’ve searched the globe for it, while refusing to buy Grey. To own this watch would be for me the pinnacle. I know we do not all share the same desires or emotional connections to such objects. This is mine.
And then...... there should he a law or device that keeps our iphones out of our hands after three cocktails. It seems that later, late in the evening of that weekend i drunk texted my AD (hey. At least it wasn’t a woman or something.... I’m married so it could have been worse!!). I was telling him (so i read today but had wrote fri night without memory of it) how these two pieces are the last two i want for my collection and apparently at some point i gave him my authorization to run my card for a deposit on the yellow gold green dial Daytona in addition to the previously sober decision to put the deposit down on the GMT. I just pray they don’t arrive in the same month! That’s a lot of cheeseburgers! Anyway, when they arrive i shall proudly post pictures among with the slogan: do not drink and shop!” Beats waking up with someone you don't know. |

True because im married. The cost of both watches combined is far far cheaper than what ‘waking up with someone i don’t know’ would cost me! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I bought mine when they first came out from a trusted seller here and it’s without question the best Rolex I’ve ever owned. The GMT function is actually useful and although I was never a fan of the meteorite dial on other Rolex’s when you see it next to the Pepsi bezel it just pops! Congrats and hope you get it soon.

I love meteorite but I’d still pick the Daytona, I just don’t love it on the gmt. Can they guarantee to get you any watch with a deposit? If so I’d ask for the rainbow Daytona first...

Get the one with the complication you want. Chrono vs. 2nd timezone.

It’s cool to look at a dial made from an out-of-this-world material.
Congrats. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Still waiting for my 116508 and I have no desire for the Meteor dial GMT although it is very unique. So for sure, green Daytona!!!
