The Met Gala - Unveiling the Celestial Craftsmanship of Meteorite Dials

[Davey118]

Amazing review. I love the rigor and consistency — something that’s absolutely required for meteorite dials which have a chameleon nature depending on ambient light.

I have a buff meteorite dial in my 116519 and I love it. This is my daily watch which I wear running, skiing, mountaineering, and when I’m working on watches at my bench.

That's a sick pic sir

Correct, the back plate and feet can make it difficult to install the subdial hands on 4130 models as it makes the dial quite thick, meaning the subdial hand tubes aren't long enough, which in turn means the subdial hands have no clearance from the dials surface.

Some people don't mind this, others do, it's all down to preference really. It's pretty easy to just use longer tubes for the subdial hands to clear the dial when the dial is fatter than normal, but conversely (please correct me if I'm wrong those of you with more knowledge on this than I) it is entirely possible to install the dial without a back plate and pre installed feet without much complication

This, most plates they use are same thickness as the dial. Hands is one thing and putting extra pressure on the stem is another.

There is no issues to remove dial and install without the plate.

I can do hand made custom plates which are super thin yet very strong, but it's unnecessary as I install all the dials and can remove for my customers without issues.

@oceaon thank you for the extensive review on each of the meteorite dials!
I’m loving the look of the SW dial and I’m in contact with a modder to get one on a tungsten build.

 

[Guiltycat]

Also curious if you’re going to get the new BTF meteorite version is well
I asked a dealer and he said the price is $838 shipped

This dial certainly didn't disappoint in the flesh, I will try to take some better photos in different lighting showing off the pattern in the coming days!

I got the same QCs. I would put it on the same level as Noob. Not as good as Buff or Shengzen, but great OOTB option along with Noob.
