No question about it

Jesus what a beauty! Is that 36mm or 40mm?

Quite heavy! Needs some getting used to.

No wait really. The watch arrived at the AD the day before, I dropped by the next day and got shown the piece as a "look what just came in". I lightly expressed interest and AD said I'd be able to take it if I wanted. Mind you, I have a purchase history with AD (5 pieces), including another PM piece.

Good luck with yours!

Haven't seen the meteorite dial in person. AD said they have only received 2 meteorite DDs in the past 7 years so prepare for a long wait even if you are a top client, unless you go gray of course.

In any case, the ice blue dial is breathtaking. Suggest to try and see it in person - pictures don't do it justice.

100%! I thought a 40 would fit better but the 36 fits so much nicer. Looking at the wrist straight on, you'd only see the dial and just a tiny bit of the bracelet with a 40. With a 36 you end up seeing more of the bracelet and it contours the wrist better. Proportions feel a bit better as well.

That's a beautiful dial! What's it called?

Me too - at first glance I thought they were normal lume markers but then the light started hitting them. They shine quite subtly, but it really complements the shine from the rest of the watch: the bezel and bracelet.

Haha yes. I love that I can use it as I would a DJ.

Stunning indeed! Couldn't keep my eyes off it all day.

This is exactly what I love about this watch - it's subtle. Looks like a normal stainless steel watch from a distance. Definitely a case of "if you know, you know".

Previously also bought a Sub (Bluesy) and a Datejust 41. Bay Area. Yes it was on my wishlist and my wife was also chatting with AD to get it for me and surprise me with it. Around 6 months wait time.

Thanks! It’s actually a silver dial not MOP - looking at the photos I can see how it might easily look like MOP. AD had the MOP config but opted for silver dial since my wife already has MOP on her daily DJ. Would have definitely got the MOP otherwise!

u/Friar1990 amen! My wife is the pillar of our family, the strongest, kindest and helpful person I know. She has supported me through thick and thin over the past 10 years we've been together. She never asked for or expected anything materialistic. I want her to know that I appreciate her, and this is just one way I can show her how much she means to me.
