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!

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.

Though Gold is made in Supernovas and Neutron star explosions, so probably from further away still.

I'd go meteorite GMT as well. Too cool :)

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!!!
