Meteorite Dial

Hey guys, first time poster long time fan.

I have had my Datejust for a couple years now and love it. Its a stainless jubilee with blue face. I like it because its smaller and fits my wrist nicely.

Recently my boss showed up with a Meteorite Daytona and I fell for the dial. The Daytona is too large for me, yet I cant seem to find a simple stainless without a president band. While I am not too familiar with policy or procedures here, is there a way to either change my face to a meteorite one or purchase an all stainless with a meteorite face? I dont care for gold so two tone is out of the question. I appreciate any information.

As far as I'm aware the only way you can get a Meteorite dial is on White Gold watches, either the WG Daytona, or WG DD. Purchasing just the dial would be highly difficult and extremely expensive. Probably close to the cost of a SS watch, and that said, you're probably looking at a dial that would be completely mismatched b/c it is either a DD dial or Daytona.

Welcome to TRF! The Daytona with the meteorite dial is one of my favorites. I too wish it was available in the stainless model so I could afford it

Both men and women wear the Daytona. It should not be too large for you
