Nice. They look great on the SS Models. I had one on my 116520 a few years back and wish I'd have kept it.

The only dial better than Meteorite is Meteorite
and Diamonds! Of course, that's just my two cents.
Your Daytona looks great!

As an owner of both. I love the Speedy! That simple face, with the two dots perfectly placed beside the chrono second hand are like cute dimples. I run five times a week; probably as much to put on my Speedy on a daily basis then anything else. I can read the dial easily, which says alot for a sub dial minute. Love the speedy! Also, a repurchase after I had sold.

As for the meteorite dial...... I own the silver Arabic on the WG Daytona, and really wish you would not of brought this subject up as I wrestled with that decision for quite some time. I was finally at peace and then you bring it up again. Yes, it is a beauty.

However, I really want the rocks in the pictures. Gorgeous shoot!

I tried on a meteorite dial daytona on in Maui this past summer and it was by far the best looking.
