Daytona YG with Meteorite Dial on Oysterflex

Has anyone seen this new model in person or know of any real-life photos?

The white gold reference is getting well-deservered attention:

The YG, less so. In fact, I can't find any actual photos of the reference. Why is that?

I’ve ordered the full yellow gold version , my dealer in the UK reckons they’ll only get one Meteor dial Daytona this year which includes all the versions so it might be a while before we see any wrist shots

There was a thread around release time that had the trunk show photos. Might search for that. Also maybe some on IG. I got to see the demo models for all except RG OF. Found yellow gold version personally to be meh, but at the same time, I'm not an all yellow gold watch person, so would discount my own opinion if the metal color sings to you.

Very nice - congrats! I was fortunate to be offered either. While I love/want both, and believe the full yellow gold will likely be a better investment, I went with the Oysterflex. The reason being, I feel I would wear the Oysterflex more and for my first precious metal piece, I wanted it to be YG.

Good call, I did search high-and-low and did not find this particular model.

Remember the daytona dial is small and the black subdials breakup the entire meteorite dial compared to the old daytona meteorite that has the meteorite across the entire dial.

Thanks for the link but that still does not include the aforementioned reference model. This reference is a ghost!

I saw all the real watches at the new releases show at Rolex boutique last May.

They all look great. All the meteorite dials in any PM Daytona will be very hard to get.

You and I were not able to see the white gold bracelet with a meteorite, we were only allowed to see some of the options in the catalog. But I did enjoy the white gold meteorite with oyster sauce, indeed

I like the YG on OF and the WG on OF as my top 2 options.
