Not even close. Wearing a unique piece of cosmic rock that's 4 billion years old on your wrist beats the heck out of a painted dial.

Both are special but have completely different appeal. I think the blue is more youthful/sporty and the meteorite is more stately/dignified.

Based on my dress style I choose blue.

Blue if cost not a factor.
The meteorite is about $4K more than the blue in retail pricing.

100% blue. I wouldn't be able to tell the time on the meteorite dial, fancy looking but totally unpractical.
