Here, we’ll go over the most exciting new Rolex watches that Rolex sneakily introduced this year. We covered the biggest releases, including the new titanium Yacht-Master and gold GMT-Master II, but Rolex also introduced a few truly exotic new watches – so-called ‘off-catalogue’ pieces – that represent some of the most exciting and outrageous new watches from the brand. Im assuming Rolex will just find another one for sale somewhere, or that they have a pretty massive stockpile of it since they keep coming out with new models with meteorite.But it turns out that simply getting an appointment with Rolex wasn’t a guarantee that you’d get the full scoop – we certainly didn’t. I thought I had read somewhere that due to newer laws in Namibia that outside of anything already sold and in circulation that they no longer permit any removal of the meteorite material or destruction of it. And still plenty of the raw unworked Gibeon meteorite around and in real terms not extremely rare and loads for sale on the net. ![]() You can identify a meteorite by its Widmanstatten pattern,Rolex uses for there dials meteorite made from the Gibeon meteorite,the Gibeon had a very high nickel content, so it's very stable and basically won't rust.And the main cost is not so much the meteorite material around $5-$6 a gram for top quality slices, it's the labour process costs to produce a perfect dial.And yes every dial is one of a kind but all very very very very similar, you cannot go wrong with any Rolex meteorite dial in the looks department. Ni-Fe meteorites are almost pure iron and most will rust pretty easily if they're not treated/coated sealed. One thing to watch out for with some meteorite dials, is rust. actually how rare is those meteorite? any astronomer TRF members here could share his/her thought? As many as 4 meteorite dial daytona released this year(1 WG, 1 YG, 1 RG, 1 WG OF) on top of the existing ones.
