I got curious about the Meteorite Daytona and found a collector on Instagram also tagging it as Iron Blood Daytona. https://www.instagram.com/p/CyErxf5v...RlODBiNWFlZA== I googled his name further and he has some articles about the variants. Unfortunately the google translate really sucks and I can only made out no more than 20% of the articles. Maybe some other Chinese speaking members can help out. https://images.app.goo.gl/q2yQtSi8rkAsg3ZW7 That’s pretty much the only information I can find about the variants of the original Meteorite Daytona but can be a start for you.

It's a great watch, but...first I guess the question you're going to have to answer for yourself is whether you want the 16710 back or not?

This is a 35-40k watch, I would get the 16710 instead and keep the other money in the bank or invested.

Thanks for sharing your story. I enjoyed reading it and glad to hear that it sounds like everything worked out positively despite all the adversity.
I would say go for it. If you are in a good spot to do it, the watch would mean a lot and continue to do so I think as a bit of a reward to yourself through it all. On top of the perceived sentimental value it would have, it’s a pretty damn cool watch.

+1 for now…based on your comment, “I’d never want to be in the same situation again.” When/if your financial situation changes to the point where you feel comfortable putting that amount of money on your wrist you can always put the 16710 towards the trade. Btw…I commend you for your perseverance!

Your dedication & laser-focus is commendable. I was the same way with my 116619LB. When I saw it, I knew I had to have that specific one. Keep putting money away when you can & you'll get it. Keeping food in your belly, a roof over your head & your debts at bay is more important, though. Good things [usually] come to those who wait, though! I look forward to seeing your INCOMING!!!! post.

The iron blood is a smoken watch and a total discount compared to the outgoing meteorite dials. I have recently started researching all the meteorite daytonas, it is interesting that they come in and out of production. I say DO IT because with Daytona one can never be wrong and the path of least resistance is always higher.

Old meteorite dial is 10 times better than the new one and should be worth more $$$

I assume you sold yours for around this mark or a bit less, so you didn't lose anything. I also dont' see them going up to 15k again. So don't worry about time. |
