Meteorite is a stunner for sure, especially on a DayDate!

Sorry to hear about the elbow Bas. How’d that happen? Jiu Jitsu???

If only Rolex applied 2x AR to enjoy the dials more.

what is the DD marking under the baguette at 7 ? It almost looks like letters but I'm sure it's not.

Just natural dark spotting on the stone. Every meteorite dial is unique as very interesting because of such character formations.

I wonder if the back of the dial is the sane as a regular dial. They just attached the meteorite to a metal disc.

Such a cool dial, any flavor.

Glad you’re back in the game.

I tripped on the pavement while running, stretched out my arms to catch the fall, and broke a small fragment off my left elbow. It's no big deal, just a bit annoying.

I've done that and have pieces of bone floating around - every once in a while I hit my elbow again and it's tender for days. I hope you fare better.

Beautiful pics of the dials, Bas. I've got the DD meteorite and it's just so amazingly beautiful

Brings up a question.

Are the sub dials on the Daytona applied to the surface of a full dial? Or, are they small circles, cut out of the dial?
