Romaine Gauthier meteorite dial
Hello all, I’ve been looking for a Meteorite dial watch and am considering the RG Prestige. There are not many out there, Rolex has one (if you could get it) Armand Blliard would make me his BD04 version n white gold for about 20% of the cost for a RG etc. Your opinions or other options would be appreciated. Pictures from the Celine web site…Jim

Thanks Amanico…
Yes unusual for RG, but very clean, simple and dare I say elegant?…Jim
Joshua Shapiro can make a guillochéd meteorite dial.
That's a new level! He has a very special in-house watch you should contact him about or ask him to make a custom dial in collaboration with another independent.
Thank you Spangles
I’ve talked to Josh recently and he will not do another Meteorite dial, at least in one of his watches because of the special edition he did. If I run across another Independant I will look into him making a dial. What makes Joshua’s dial special?…Jim ...
Shapiro - Meteorite Dial
I was very lucky to have ordered one of these from Josh. It’s truly an amazing piece. In some light/angles you see mostly meteorite, and with the slightest shift the dial changes personality completely showing it’s masterful guilloché. I’d say if you can ...
Hi BMR
Thanks for your help, I tried to get Josh to make a meteorite dial but so far it’s a no…Jim
Thank BMR
Yours is the perfect regulator, I have the Patek Phillips 5235G and just before the turn of the hour you have to look hard to make sure what the hour is because the hour hand is advance to almost the next number. This LB is like a jumping hour (I assume) ...
I own one of Josh’s watches and his dials are unique
His infinity pattern is one of a kind. No one else in the world has mastered that level of fine hand guilloche yet. He also screws in his chapter rings with microscrews, similar to how Roger Smith does it. Him and Smith are possibly the only two who do it...
A watch you need to see in person.
Pics don’t justify the beauty of this RG . Was lucky to see it at a event a while ago . Good luck and hope you will find the right watch for you I see JLC , Omega , Arnold and S , DeBethune, Zelos , JD and a few others make a meteorite dial watch as well ...
Much appreciated Watchonthewrist
I am not finding the RG available yet but I will keep looking. I’m also looking into the Rolex Pepsi WG meteorite dialI but they are hard to come by as well. I’m looking at all the brands you mentioned but there are not too many out there. I am working wi...
I have seen a few pics from the AB and must admit it looks amazing.
Really looking forward to see your choice.
I got you covered!!
I also like meteorite dials, they are so cool!! Here are some watches with meteorite that I think are fun and maybe you will like as well in various price ranges, altho, you can't go wrong with the RG! One of the best meteorite watchmakers is prob Antoine...
OMG Spencer
One of, if not the mot, helpful posts I’ve ever received, thanks you. The HODINKEE is fantastic, I think I will have Santorum Bullard make me one of his SB04’s baed on that picture. The other one I will get, if possible, is the Rolex Pepsi meteorite but t...
Again, can't go wrong with the RG, it is a spectacular watch in all regards!!
I actually was lucky enough to hold a RG one time and it was fantastic! Isn't Hodinky's work amazing! love his work, he has an insta page and you can seee all of the cool stuff he makes and he is a fellow watchprositer :P I think his insta name is Hodinky...
Thank you Spencer
In action to the RG I texted Santory Billard the Hodinky likeness and he is going to copy it to some extent, it wont have the retrograde date but very similar and at a very reasonable price…Jim
Yay!!
Congrats again and glad I could help ! Pls share pics when you get that RG and your other piece!!! Love them!
Hi Spencer I pulled the trigger on the RG meteorite dial and am getting
A SB04 form Santory, my wife is getting a SB05 she loves. I guess a couple can’t have too many watches
