Meteorite Daytona - just bought it :)
Just picked up another Daytona. Discontinued white gold & meteorite dial. Mint condition as it has lived its life in a safe.
I picked the discontinued model as I far prefer it to the new ones:
- meteorite sub dials
- splash of colour, with the red hands
- full white gold bracelet
- metal bezel works better with the silvery dial
- discontinued
Yet, even with all that, it's actually cheaper than the new one!
Gorgeous watch. I'm not a Daytona fan personally, but this dial sure helps!
Looks awesome
Enjoy
Quite literally out of this world! Nice pickup

Very nice, congratulations!
Congratulations!
Amazing watch!
Love this watch. Always coveted it, never seen one in the metal.
Congratulations.
Love it also, and I also prefer this over the current ceramic meteorite
I'm not usually keen on these, but love this dial. Congratulations.
Cool watch. I can’t imagine it’s the most legible dial but that’s not really the point!
Learn something new everyday- didn’t even know it existed in this combination!
Very different for a Daytona. I wonder what will get more wear with both this and the platinum daydate also with the meteorite dial.
Am I the only one who thinks this looks off…
Look at the red paint on those hands and the finish
on that IIII indice

I've got a real soft spot for a meteorite dial. There's something so exotic about a material that fell out of the sky from space, maybe it's from watching SpaceCamp in the late 80's as a child!

Ever looked at the underside of AP hands? GS gets that right though.
Thanks all :)
I slightly prefer this Daytona to my meteorite Day Date. The dial has more going on with it, simply by being a chrono. I will definitely wear this more, as I love Daytonas anyway.
In fact I almost put it on a par with my baguette dial Platona. That's how much I love this one.
Great looking watch if you can pull it off. Don’t think I have seen the combo before. Also interesting it was cheaper than the new one. Did you buy from a grey dealer?
Congratulations l. It is a lovely watch but there are other PM Daytonas I would consider before this.
That’s a stunner and as you say the red accent’s really pop. Enjoy
It's a 2012 watch, which spent its life in a safe. So yes, I bought it from a "used watch" dealer.
These were discontinued a few years ago, and few were made as white gold Rolex used to struggle to sell until very recently.
Apart from baguette Platona, I really can't think of one I'd rate above this, personally.
Very nice! Am I right in thinking the dial on each watch is unique because its made from the polished rock?

Yes, each dial is unique. But made from a slice of iron Gibeon meteorite (not rock).
Very cool, thanks!
