Hello everyone I have been a member on here for a while more of a reader than poster but am struggling to find any information so have to ask the question, have rolex made a stainless steel daytona with the meteorite dial it also has the red second and crono hands, I have found two for sale and both seller description states factory dials. I was under the impression that these duals were only fitted to the gold daytona, please prove me wrong as these,look stunning.

Thanks in advance,
Sean-f

No they have not.

Factory dial on the WG version. This is an easy Mod to do with a SS piece. So factory dial but not original to the watch.

They do look good.....

Sean-f · 13 May 2015, 06:55 PM

So if I was to pull the trigger on either of these steel ones with meteorite dial would I have problems come service time?

uploadfromtaptalk1431507667873.jpgThis I a photo of one of the ones I am looking at the other is exactly the same but I don't like the pattern on the dial quite as much.

Thanks for the replies it's always good to ask an expert.

Correct, Rolex won't service it.

joli160 · 13 May 2015, 07:07 PM

Any independent would service it, you don't need a RSC for servicing a Rolex.

Sean-f · 13 May 2015, 07:10 PM

Thanks but would the fact that it had been modified not detract from the value should I ever need to sell it? What value would you put on a Z serial 116520?
Again thanks for your help.

Andad · 13 May 2015, 07:32 PM

With or without the dial?

IMO the dial is about >$4K. + fitting.

Sean-f · 13 May 2015, 07:37 PM

With the dial already fitted as in the photos these are the two I am looking atuploadfromtaptalk1431509914283.jpg

I have 3 of them I could let go for $2K.

Andad · 13 May 2015, 11:14 PM

Is that with the hands set?

Rolextraderflorida · 13 May 2015, 11:41 PM

Here was mine...nice watch

tkerrmd · 13 May 2015, 11:44 PM

only WG and you can see on mine the yellowish tint of the WG is very different from SS also bezel is different than the one above on SS

Lgear080 · 13 May 2015, 11:48 PM

U joking mon?

Bendey · 14 May 2015, 12:15 AM

Not only no meteorite on steel daytona, I don't think there is any special stone dial (onyx, sodalite, mahogany, coral, lapis etc) on any steel rolex, anyone knows otherwise?

You have 2 choices only on the SS Daytona, black or white.

No there is no other factory original dial for a SS Daytona however any Daytona dial (non Zenith) will fit on a modern SS Daytona. Not sure if this is the answer you are looking for either.

I am not a fan of these modifications. Hard core WG Daytona fan and I think these mods cheapen the WG Daytona. Sorry but that is how I feel. Everybody can do as they please with their own watches.

Bendey · 14 May 2015, 01:58 AM

I am saying Rolex doesn't use special "stone" dial on any of their Steel models ever(not just Daytona). Only on precious metal. The closest "special" dial exception i can think of was the limited run Porcelain 16520.

I too agree I am not a huge fan of modified watches I only asked the original question as both the watched were listed as factory meteorite dial, I think I will have to save a little longer both the stainless I looked at were around $14k so I have a little way to go before I can look at a WG with meteorite,

Again thanks to all
