Love this Rolex! Thanks for some very interesting closeups of its fascinating dial! ;-) [nt]

And I thought the meteorite dial came only with a white gold GMT. Silly me. Anyway, it looks outstandingly good. [nt]

I think it does, and our member is just fitted it with the SS jubilee bracelet.

If the case is SS, then good luck to him P

Yes and no, guys.

Yes the meteorite dial only comes with the white gold GMT and and no, it’s not a steel Jubilee on a gold case 😂 I was lucky that my dealer has got a gold watch with meteorite dial and a customer who preferred a black dial. With the same delivery he has go...

Aaah, ok, now I get it. Lucky you! But will Rolex accept servicing your watch? [nt]

Wow, that’s is a twist indeed!

By: Clueless_Collector : July 2nd, 2020-13:35

Thanks for the info. Good for you 👍🏻

That dial is out of this world ;-)) [nt]

You mean that you put a meteorite dial in a steel GMT MASTER? Did I read well? [nt]

By: amanico : July 2nd, 2020-13:21

Yes, Nico, you’ve read correctly. [nt]

By: cayenne1200 : July 2nd, 2020-13:22

How did you do that? [nt]

By: amanico : July 2nd, 2020-13:25

It must have been a crash landing 🤔 [nt]

By: Cpt Scarlet : July 2nd, 2020-14:08

A nice twist indeed! Thanks for showing! [nt]

Wow, what a bit of luck. First time I have seen this happen and did not even know the dial feet on a meteorite dial for a 126719BLRO would fit a 126710BLRO 🤔🤷‍♂️ [nt]

I would imagine it would be priceless if it was done at the factory but given it was done on a secondhand basis it may be considered modified Mfs may not be serviced by Rolex. [nt]

By: aperna : July 2nd, 2020-15:44

Indeed I believe Rolex will not service modified watches.

By: countzero : July 2nd, 2020-18:30

Changing the original dial back before sending the watch for servicing would be the way to go. The meteorite dial is cool, though.

That's it. [nt]

That is possibly the perfect modern GMT - such great luck - SS meteorite. It’s a shame Rolex doesn’t allow a mix ‘n’ match. Enjoy it! [nt]

Love that twist my friend !!

I think the Meteorite GMT is one of their best combination, but if it's in steel it would be best like yours!! Sam
