WG GMT Pepsi w/ Meteorite Dial

Does anyone own the WG GMT Pepsi with the meteorite dial? I would love to see pics with you wearing the watch. I don't know why but it just seems so cool to me!!

I wonder how hard it would be to get?

What does everyone else think? Has anyone seen the watch in person?

This really is confusing for me because I was thinking of having my submariner as my dress watch and buying a GMT Pepsi for my casual watch but after seeing the 126719BLRO WG GMT w/ the meteorite dial, I am thinking of buying that watch as my dress watch and having my submariner as my casual watch. LOL

The meteorite dial is pretty sweet, and my favorite over the regular black or special blue version. It’s a hard to get reference though.

Gorgeous but I did not get one because it is hard to read the time in some light.

It’s a really cool piece. Unfortunately, I think you have to see it in person to appreciate the dial but like many piece today that’s hard to do.
The meteorite sparkles and shines and takes on different grey and white hues based on the lighting.

I think this piece has great staying power; why? It’s the only rare earth mineral GMT dial made yet. Google the rare earth mineral dial Daytona’s and you’ll see those are exploding and were released in limited quantities. I’d group this dial into the same arena and for that reason alone, I really like this watch.

OK. I think I might be sold. This might be my next watch. The only problem is that it retails for $39,900 and people are selling it for $55,000.

For those who bought one, did you get your watch from your AD and how long did you have to wait?

I think it is being released in very small
quantities. My AD (which is a fairly large AD) received one all year.
Coupled with the fact that it’s a Gibeon meteorite dial and exporting that meteorite is now banned , I think the number produced will be fairly limited.

This GMT is easily one of the best. Tom’s pics show it is beautiful and not as hard to read as many Daytona watches.

If I did not already have the best GMT I would go for it myself.

agreed it's cool but think it's a bit wasted on the pepsi color scheme which i find juvenile in nature. paired with the rootbeer bezel though... geez
