Here it is:

It is really hard to capture its charm, its nuances in picture.

Best,

Key Points from the Discussion

The meteorite dial, initially polarizing, gains significant appreciation when viewed in person, often converting skeptics into admirers.
While some find meteorite dials more suited to models like the Day-Date, others consider it the best GMT from Rolex, even accepting the date window due to its unique appeal.
Acquiring this specific GMT-Master II with the meteorite dial is exceptionally challenging, with many collectors reporting difficulty even getting on waiting lists at authorized dealers.
The dial's charm and nuances are notoriously difficult to capture accurately in photographs, underscoring the importance of seeing it 'in the metal' to fully appreciate its beauty.
Despite the allocation challenges, the watch's distinctiveness makes it a highly desirable piece for many collectors, often surpassing other GMT-Master II variations in appeal.
