I'd get rid of all of those watches for a blue dial WG GMT :-)

White Gold Pepsi Worth It?

I feel the same way fwiw. I can’t justify the WG black dial when there is a SS black dial.

I do have the meteorite dial and love it, but I would tell the OP that the blue dial version is imo, the a very good value. If you love the meteorite dial (like I do) get that one but if you are on the fence between blue and meteorite, I’d say just save 10 grand or so and get the blue dial. It is a very nice watch.

Me personally…if I have the good fortune to pick between SS & PM, and there’s a definite difference or exclusive dial, bracelet, bezel, etc…vs the SS version, I’ll pick the PM in most cases, but not all.

I have black and meteorite. I love both.

I love the black for its uniqueness in truly unique way :)

It seems the meteorite dial isn't very legible compared to the blue dial though.

It’s plenty legible. Not as legible as a black dial Sub, but it’s legibility issues are greatly exaggerated. I hope no one passes on a meteorite dial for this reason.

Get it w the Meteorite dial. They are trading close to retail. I see a BNIB one in Singapore now for S$70k (US$52k).

I love mine

That’s $10k over retail, granted pre-tax.

The blue dial is understated elegance. The meteorite is a bit more flashy. Can't go wrong with either.

Ahh got it. I had to pay a little extra to keep the black dial but it was nominal. Only way they would do it was with a full service to the watch also. All in it ran around $1500 with tax for the service and dial swap.

I own the blue. I absolutely love it. The dial works so well with the bezel.

In photos it doesn’t look like the same hue as the bezel and clashes. Does it look different in real life?

Great question. In this photo they look off. For some reason photos pick up more of the purple in the bezel. In real life the blues are pretty spot on. If I remember right Rolex redesigned the blue between the very short lived 116719blro and the current 12 model.

Damn pasha moon phase and big bang unico very niceeee. Sell off your entire collection and get the meteorite dial. . I’m assuming you can get one for about 55k or so. Maybe even less if you are savvy. Don’t get the blue dial though. It’s kinda mehhhh

Gosh that’s such a good photo!

Also seeing that I need to get an oyster bracelet for my Pepsi…

I own it and LOVE it. I considered buying the meteorite dial, and am so happy with the blue dial. It is a stunning watch, and a bit stealthy.

Every time I see a picture of the blue dial GMT, my heart flutters. Just simply my favorite Rolex of all time.

The Meteorite BLRO is my favorite reference in the entire current catalog. I would absolutely sacrifice some special pieces for a shot at owning it.
