You know you have arrived when......!

So we all own fine Rolex timepieces. But if you are like me there is something inside of you that still hungers.... Hungers for that one Rolex that will completely satisfy your appetite for the ultimate timepiece.

How will you know when you "arrive" and will no longer ever "need" another Rolex?

I know I will not have "arrived" until..... I have this one firmly on my one of my Orbitas!!!!!

White Gold Meteorite Daytona!!!

I put the WG Meteorite Daytona on my wrist at my AD when I took my TT Black Sub in for service a couple of weeks ago.

Just the weight of it on my arm was memorable. Not to mention that magnificent dial and the work that went into it making it what it is.

How many other timepieces have ever utilized a meteorite dial to this extreme and place of beauty? I personally have not seen another.

And therein is the problem Karis!

They asked John D. Rockefeller... "How much money is enough"?

He said....

"Just a little bit more!"

Nice pix Richard, my favourite.

I especially like the second one of the meteorite dial on the SS Daytona.

All the looks at a fraction of the price.

How will you know when you "arrive" and will no longer ever "need" another Rolex?

I'm still waiting for my first Rolex!

You know you have arrived when you can afford expensive personal trips to outerspace every week. I heard those are expensive.

Or.....it could be when you have wonderful friends and family!

I'm just grateful I didn't like this particular Daytona...(yeah I know, what is wrong with me? ) but it's gonna save me a lot of money in the end.

Cheers,
Joe

Same here, Eric. All the beauty of the meteorite dial combined with the elegance of the leather strap.
