Congrats on catching this rare bird. Agree that the meteorite is the nicest Rolex GMT. Very tempted to get this one too, despite already have the 1st generation black dial WG pepsi. But I guess the chance of getting this from my AD is really remote..,,

Grail Obtained: Rolex Meteorite Pepsi
A new addition here. I've been patiently waiting for this watch since it came out in '19. I got tired of waiting so I pulled the trigger with a grey dealer. I've read estimates that Rolex makes between 900-1,200 of these watches per year--which would make...
Very nice!
Where did you get those statistics? Would you judge the source to be reliable? Does the same source say Rolex watches take a year to make? Beautiful watch, congrats!
Great Questions
I got the stats from the Rolex Forums. It appears to be anecdotal sources from AD channel checks and a claimed corporate source. At the end of the day, it's all conjecture, but I wouldn't' be surprised if the numbers are in the ballpark as even the second...
It's definitely a rare Rolex...
You're right, it is conjecture. But it does seem likely to be accurate! It's definitely a very cool and very rare Rolex. And regardless, it's your grail watch! We are all so excited when another member finally gets his grail watch as most of us haven't go...
I agree
Though a second place to me is the everose gold rootbeer tied with the yellow gold 50th-anniversary green dial.
Congrats on obtaining your grail!
Definitely one of the best versions of the GMT with the white gold + meteorite dial!

Great catch!
This Meteorite is to the plain-dialled GMT what the original Yacht Master is to the Sub. Enjoy your special piece! Daniel
Amazing Dial
I'm also on the hunt so congratulations. You've got an amazing dial there, I've seen some Rolex meteorite dials over the years which are a bit hit and miss, the worst was on a day date which looked like a flat silver bar a few slashes at the 5 o clock. No...
Big congrats
Looks amazing - enjoy. I had no joy waiting for this piece from my AD so went Grey too - no regrets, best execution of meteorite dial totally complimented by the Pepsi bezel.
Congratulation on getting your
Grail watch. It looks amazing. I once saw that model at an AD on wrist of a customer. I spoke with him and he told to have bought it at the AD. I tried it on my wrist and felt the feel of the watch. It is stunning watch.
mesmerizing!
really tempted to get this one, curious on your "long-term" thoughts having had it for a while? would it make a good daily?
