Might be the last one watch I purchase

It’s been awhile since I posted. I’m always lurking and reading. Hitting a milestone bday this year I decided it was time to get the watch I’ve always dreamed of getting. It’s just amazing. I always was a fan of the smooth bezel.

Love it Tony, congratulations.

I have the WG/fluted version and it's by far my fave.

The Gibeon Meteor is about as old as our Sun - which we measure time against. And the diamonds are from the Earth's formation - much older than Humans. These elements and the symbolism of them regarding time itself are amazing to me.

Enjoy

That’s a beauty congrats

All though I would say I also purchased my last watch on my 40th birthday, following on, I accidentally purchased a few in the following years too.

I definitely purchased my last watch on my 50th though







Oh and on my 51st, 52nd, 53rd and 54th.

I haven’t purchased anything in 2025 if that helps

Congratulations!! Great dial and watch! Is it 36 or 40mm? I don't believe they can still be bought with the non-fluted bezels.

In general Im not a fan of the smooth bezel on a DD but with this dial it looks stunning!

Congrats!

What a stunning DD. Congratulations! I didn't know that DD came with a smooth bezel. It would be my choice too.
