The Rolex GMT Master 2 meteorite dial is one of the most beautiful time piece.
Never knew the nickname for this reference was the "Superman". Totally deserves it!
Same here. Found out from this video.
omg what a special piece! Beautifully captured!
that's the holy grail of GMT's and possibly all sports Rolex there.
The grail of grails, simply stunning!
I'd never been a fan of the meteorite dial based on internet pics, but you did an excellent job of converting me, Austin. That thing looks incredible! Thanks for sharing, Marcello. 👍🏼
It’s from the solar nebula and it’s about 4.5 billion years old. Mind blowing and stunning.
I have this watch and have to say it’s my absolute favorite in the collection. The weight of it is substantial, without being gold flashy. The meteorite comes from Nibia. It’s approximately 4 Billion years old. The country has made exporting anymore illegal so what rolex has is it. With their deep pockets can they get more, probably. Wearing this watch out in public in this day and age makes me think twice, a sad comment to say.
Randy... compare to standard stainless (120 grams or so) how much does this thing weigh? 200? Thanks!
@@m3tek44 It's got a good weight to it. the heft of a gold sports Rolex is something you come to appreciate when you actually put it on wrist.
Its a tad bit lighter than an 11 series pm supercase sub. Needless to say, this is the grail modern day GMT. like Randy said, having something on your wrist that is approximately 4 billion years old is special even if you are not a watch collector.
This watch is incredible
I owned this watch. It’s easily the best looking watch in my collection. Stunning timepiece to look at in person!!!
Awesome video Austin! I looooove the meteorite GMT. So special.
On jubilee it would be known as Supergirl
White Gold, Meteorite Dial....absolute stunner! White Gold if not rhodium plated when put by the side of a steel watch should show a very very pale yellow effect.
It truly is an amazingly beautiful timepiece!
Wow, that's something else.... I don't usually like dials like this at all, but I like this...
the meteorite dial is so unique , so very nice. ROLEX ia an economy into itself. amazing . be safe ~ JDS/CT
The Superman Meteorite 👌
This is my dream watch. I've tried the meteorite Day Date 40 in both white gold and platinum and love the meteorite dial, but this GMT Master II with Meteorite would leave the Day Date Meteorite in the dust. I looked at the (older?) Daytona with meteorite and that didn't agree to my tastes.
Ill look up the price today for the dial. No Rolex will not swap the dial on those to a meteorite from a blue. The day dates and Datejusts can be swapped however. These are Rolex USA rules, no clue on other countries.
Right on - do let us know what is costs.
@@watchsymposium 9500 on the day date, but the day date also has baguette markers which can add to the price.
Great video on an outstanding watch Austin.
This is the real Superman, ice /red n blue 😂
I believe you need to change hands too 👍🏻 meteorite dial has different hands
That meteorite dial is iron, not likely it will break. Also, each one is unique with a different pattern, so dial replacement would be high for sure.
Don’t break it and you’re good.
Absolutely amazing 🙌🏽
Is the Superman!!!! Geez
That is a hash tag ### on the dial #Rolex unattainable
😂😂😂
Depend with the Rolex Warranty Card......If the card stated the color or type of dial than Rolex will not replace us with other dial other than stated in the card....................some card stated, some not
the new cards dont go into detail as the old ones did unfortunately
An outstanding dial. The best
Ok a few things.
1. Awesome piece Marcelo!
2. Next time I’m in Japan beers are not on me anymore, they are on Marcelo lol $$
3. So by changing your blue dial to meteorite there is nothing in the serial to prove it’s not original? I don’t like the idea of changing.
What currency is Marcelo valuing this in? They’re NOT 70-100k USD as of May 2021!
This dial is also almost impossible to read in certain lights.
That's one way to hype themselves up and appear like they made a good watch choice. Just one search on chrono and you could find a piece on c24 for US$56k...
Obviously you’ve never held one in person…. You’ll be surprised
My guess is that Rolex would not swap out the blue dial for a meteorite one. Like any Rolex piece the meteorite dialled models are registered this way on their database and Rolex would want to keep it this way.
There has to be a limited supply of meteorite IF it is not being manufactured, and I have my suspicions given others are producing meteorite dials I.e. Omega. For that reason I would expect Rolex NOT to switch out the dials for meteorite 🤔
Hey Austin, the NY RSC wont do it. Can you check if Japan RSC will?
Amazing watch but for us mortals on earth (or under the sea) the MOP dial will have to do.
Tou mean the Tudor Aquaman, don't you :)
Magnificent.
You can easily see the difference from WG to SS side by side. Also I think the warrantee may show blue for dial color?? So they would not swap it for a meteorite dial
new cards don't have dial info
@@timeisahumanconstruct9251 you are correct I forgot that they dropped the dial color with the name. I would be shocked if they would swap in a meteorite dial. But I’m asking my AD! Haha!
@@tkm3207 Please report back to let us know what your AD says!? Good luck.
Huh? Meteorite Pepsi is understated? Are you having a laugh? Lol Nice piece anyway.
No question that is one hell of a gorgeous F Off piece. Not for anyone making less than mid six figures each and every year.
Not really true. You can save up for a watch. It's not like cars that have high maintanance costs and insurance etc.
Surely Rolex needs to keep the Meteorite dials so they can at least service existing Meteorite dialed watches over time. I would be concerned about investing in a Meteorite dial because eventually somebody is going to come up with a reason why some dials are nicer than others and you’re going to be stuck with one that isn’t appealing for that reason. Personally I think the blue dial is a much nicer looking dial on that watch.
The blue is dull. It’s just plain blue.
👍👍👍
Beautiful peice. I see several listed unworn at 66k. Methinks 40k gets this watch all day with some patience. Less with a market downturn.
no way. they only make 1,200 per year, by far rolex's rarest watch.
@@timeisahumanconstruct9251 how do you know they only make 1,200
@@pokerrich9 The whole of hongkong ADs only get 5-7 pieces max a year. It’s even lesser than 1200 produced per year ;)
Numero uno, Austin.
Phirtsy McPhirst
never been a huge fan of the meteorite dial
I’ll settle with my Batman ...
haha, suck air through their teeth with the words "Not Sure" is classic Japanese for NO.
C'mon easy peezy Rolex will change it to Kryptonite
Austin , really ? this is ugly !!
This really should be nicknamed the Superman
it is rarer but tries too hard compared to the blue dial
no but ok
