Where are all the Daytona meteorites?

Why has been 6 months or so from release and there’s still none out there?

Any thoughts?

I've been trying to get the YG Daytona with meteorite and so far I'm not aware of any landing at any of the ADs I talk to. My guess is when they are released or start showing up, my chances are about like with the green dial YG Daytona, slim to none and none left...

I would of expected a few to hit shops by now at least, only seen the OF one on DavidSW other than that no instagrams postings or pictures anywhere of anyone owning one.

Anyone remember how long the GMT meteorites started to appear after release?

Well, you'll notice that both Bezos and Branson were only actually able to fly sub-orbit, so the mining operations are way behind schedule to get the meteorite material back down to the factory.

Probably being hoarded by gray dealers until near Christmas when they can hike up the prices.

Better to think of it as an announcement rather than a 'release'. The new collection they come out with typically releases later in the year or in waves.

I’d like the think they will be. Hope so.

I was told Sep earliest.

I think a very small number have already made it to certain stores but I’m sure a bigger batch to cover more ADs will happen in the next 30 days.

I saw one at my AD a couple of weeks ago. Very nice in person. New releases always trickle out slowly and quietly. Especially the hot ones.

First one I've seen with the hands in a "working" position. Even the one for sale on DavidSW had the hands in the 10-2 dummy movement position - as with the video review watches.
