I prefer the black or blue dial myself, but yeah, that's a special watch.

BLNR meteorite would be an awesome release for 2022. Rolex just hasn’t nailed the BLRO bezel colors, but the BLNR is on point

Looks great.

I’d love to see that meteorite dial on a white gold Sub with blue bezel.

It’s a real life watch, you just can’t understand this watch as much in photos. In real life the contrast in colors between bezel and dial, then the detail in the meteorite, it’s something special.

This is 100% the truth about the GMT meteorite dial.

You cannot photograph the way the dial speckles, along with all the details. In the flesh the GMT meteorite is very overwhelming. It's a "loud" watch obviously, and is very striking.

This is so spot on. I haven't seen photos that capture the true magnificence of this dial. And believe me, I tried real hard and many times. If you're considering it, you absolutely need to get it! I've only recently bought mine, but its my absolute favorite Rolex. Here's the thread where I tried my best to capture whatever i could.

This is so true. Got to try one on at my AD a couple of months ago and pics just don’t capture it properly.
I feel this way about all watches as I won’t consider one without trying it on and this piece underscores that philosophy

Just got mine a few days back and I’m trying a different approach, still hovering over it, I want to make the honeymoon last with this one. Quick breaking in with the others didn’t help.

I could only hope for a blue/white bezel paired with this meteorite dial.

I've been looking at the new launch from Grand Seiko - but the watch diameter is about 1-2mm larger than I would hoped for.

Gorgeous watch, but I'd have to sell my 8 piece watch collecton just to get one. Then have to worry about getting mugged when wearing it. Lol
