New QF 116519LN (real?) meteorite dial Daytona

[deadaglev]

The silver rings look a lot bigger on the TD‘s promotional pictures than on the QC pictures though.

@deadaglev - Good point about the dial print on the NOOB vs QF. I compared the 2 to a gen pic and the QF print is much closer to gen than NOOB. I also noticed the rings around the sub-dial.

I just saw this dial on WeChat. It looks much darker than my Buff version and the QF stock version.

Did they list a price?

Very nice dial. Print, sub dials, hour markers look good. Wouldn't surprise me if the seller wants $500. Dials like this make me think about buying a stock BTF 116519 grey dial and swap in this meteorite dial.

No price info was shared.

Everything looks good except the meteorite. It looks like crushed-up tinfoil.

light is also questionable but agree, the meteorite "effect" and the pattern is awful imo

I think it's the pattern that is throwing me off. Up to this point, I feel like I have looked at dozens of these meteorite dials during the selection process of my three frankens. Obviously, dials can range from $150-$900 and you definitely get something more realistic and something closer to gen in the $650-900 range but that comes at a much steeper price. The pattern on this one just looks less realistic.

Which dial did you end up using in your three frankens?

Two from a supplier in Italy and 1 from Oascom. $800, $700, and $900 were the prices.

Do you have a side by side photo of them?

@raremedium - Did you receive the NOOB V4? If so, could you post some pics?

Hi, does anyone know if the buff or noob dial will fit a gen 116519. I'm thinking of swapping out my silver dial for the Meteorite, I know I'm going in reverse but do not want to pay $100k just for the dial. Thanks

Yes, it'll fit. As the real meteorite dials are on precious metal watches only, yours will be very close to a gen meteorite model!

I might try to source a higher-end dial than buff or noob though, if you are sticking it in a gen watch.

I know a man who makes good meteorite dials.... @Oascom might be able to help.

Thank you, I will reach out to him.

OASCOM doesn’t do Daytona dials. He sticks to GMTs.
