That’s insane my next purchase would be either this or the new meteorite Daytona.
Enjoy it in good health

Are you being ironic? There is a huge cigar in the photo, so the last thing he will be doing is wearing it in good health.

Heck, the poor guy probably kicked it before he finished the stick... Silly implication that he won't be in good health because of a pic with a stogie...

Wow. Not sure patience even at an AD gets this done sometimes, understand it to be very difficult to source. Beautiful watch!

A stunning dial. Only had the chance to see one in person not so long ago.
Enjoy, and congrats!

Nice! The meteorite is really growing on me. Now, if I could only bring myself to spend that much $. I’m sure my AD is going to offer one any day now (sarcasm).

I would be celebrating with a nice stick as well, wear that meteorite in good health, I love that reference.

I say the same thing about some of my wine.

$60 vs $600 - it’s all the same after a few glasses.

Congrats on the GMT, Bill.

I guess you could say that about your new GMT and a regular one then. These Meteorites whilst they look stunning tend to sit at greys for a long while. I know one UK grey who has had one on sale for a year now and another five months and counting. I guess paying 20k over MSRP is putting folks off even in these affluent times. Enjoy!

Which UK Grey Dealer and where do they have it listed?
