Obviously anybody PM'ing a low post count boy in blue who's offering to get them the deal of the century on a watch is going to be completely on their own when the money disappears and the watch never appears.

I received and approved the QC today, so I will post the QC photos.
Looking at the close-up photo, I feel that the dial logo and text look thin. But I like this watch so I'm looking forward to it.

I don't know if it's a true meteorite dial. I think it's not true. I would like to hear the opinions of experts.

The sub dials of 6 and 9 on the 2nd picture show that it's real meteorite. It's not gibeon but it's a siderite meteorite cross pattern. Gibeon are sought out more because they are less prone to rusting. I've seen Rolex meteorite dials with rust after 7 years plus. Rolex uses gibeon and properly treats it though so 7 years is great..... Replica factory will be interesting how long this lasts before rust appears.
They would have to find a meteorite mine selling under 50 cents a gram. Meteorite are heavy. Something the size of your palm can be 300 to 400 grams and once made into a dial they provide alot of waste so jewelers don't like working on it often.
QC pics will be very very interesting!
Yes definitely. The inclusions are what they should be. It's that Swedish meteorite site. My concern is the rust. It's easy to treat on meteorite it's just I don't want to keep taking my watch apart to treat it. Moisture is their enemy lol.

Thanks for that info! Have ordered a aquanaut strap from there. Do you recall the SKU from the bezel you bought from watchesparts.com ? They have a few different SS Daytona bezels
