and a meteorite guitar pick to go with. https://www.bonhams.com/auctions/26081/lot/80/#/!

 

Again no information on which (Iron) meteorites that were used ...

Do people actually like watches in which it is difficult to tell the exact time?
The meteorite dial is interesting, but I believe the Speedmaster meteorite dial is a cooler looking watch.

 

I thought it was a pretty sad use for a remarkable meteorite, in my opinion it's a pretty ugly watch. As regards the exact time, between lack of accuracy in timekeeping and lack of precision in setting, even my most precisely gradated watch can't be counted on to be all that accurate.

I would love to have an Apollo Soyuz meteorite Speedy though.

 

For me its an ugly watch and not that easy to tell exact time. Use of a meteorite creative though.

 

I like it! Sort of high end cave man!

 

Its interesting, but I don't think it would very hard to add a few markers to fix the legibility.

 

Looks like Fred Flintstone’s watch.

 

Would be nice to see some more Meteorite Dials

 

Interesting, but not me, I'm afraid.

 

Reminds me of a Tissot Rock Watch.

 

I bought a piece of polished meteorite from one that landed in Belarus. It was only after I purchased it, I did some research on it and found out it was one guaranteed to rust. 12 months later little rust spots appeared that got progressively worse over time. I didn't want to polish it and ended up gifting it to a friend.

Like ALL of my early watch purchases, I wished I had done my homework before purchase.

 

Hi Tako Yaki,

Thanks for your informative reply to my post. I had an idea of integrating the piece I had into a square of metal and back lighting it. It goes without saying it was a disaster but worth try. My buddy still has the piece I gifted him. I saw a website once selling knives made out of it, can't imagine they were for anything other than display.

What do you reckon about the e.g. Rolex Daytona models with a M.-dial?

 

@TDBK have you seen the best of them all? Imho anyway.

Hi Taki
Gibeon afaik.

 

I've been lusting after that one for quite a while. Maybe someday.
