- Baselworld 2019 was an interesting event for a number of reasons, and not all them good. The big headline was the retraction of the Swatch Group, which left a lot of empty space in the display halls, followed by the disappointment in Rolex’s meagre turnout, with no big, exciting announcements made. Funny thing is that in amongst all the hubbub, Rolex quietly added a watch to its website that is unlike anything anyone ever expected-and that’s the watch we’ve got here today.

The fact that the red paint on the gmt hand, near the arrow isn’t perfect, on a watch at this price point is shocking
josue CH 46 thousand
josue CH hahaha it’s ridiculous !
it's done by design
josue CH I have a Oris aquis 43mm Only a thousand dollars but I’m ready to purchase a omega Seamaster 300m diver by the end of the year. How about you ?
@@LiquidSm0ke excellent choice! Just recently got the diver 300m in the black ceramic. Been my daily ever since!
The paint splash error at 4:48 tho
Rolex is a complete fucking joke of a brand. Even Invicta don't make as many mistakes.
Truly revolting... especially considering what you can get at that price point.
This is a common problem of Rolex's modern GMT masters. I can't remember how many times I have seen that 😅
For that price, I expect It to teleport me in the future...
That's a bad oversight by qc
Its funny how i get Porsche commercials before your videos. They must think i could afford these watches.
😂 can't agree more
So... what's the waiting list on this one? Is it 10 Billion years until another meteorite hits Earth?
If you have 35.5k€ they have it on their site
@@noth606 Bargin then .... Haha!
Superb reply. Hats off 👌🎩
Mark Michael worth every pound? How come?😂
Not as long as the ceramic Daytona then
4:45 wonderful, perfect red dots.
may oh may, who would noticed ? :P
lol
@ 4:47 Notice paint spots on base of 24 hour hand triangle. That can't be right. How could this pass unnoticed by Rolex?
agree.. looks bad!!
It's not nearly as bad as the stainless steel one's was... but I concur
it got hit by a freaking meteorite so go figure! 😂😂😂
kidding aside you'll never see that on a GS tho.
I agree with you 100%
Yeah that was unexpected for such a reputable watchmaker. An exorbitant watch such as GMT Master II shouldn’t have these kinda imperfections. Disappointing. I bet GS would’ve avoided this kinda imperfection.
The tip of that GMT hand looks like it was finished by a toddler with a red crayon. Absolutely shocking on a piece at this price point.
James Peters horrendous
Just ignore it, Rolex did. lol
Not unusual - lost count how many times I've seen that on Rolex hands
Mass produced
JayeBird 😂😂😂
Regarding the bloodbath on the GMT hand. I get the feeling Rolex QC couldn't give a toss about their product. Hans Wilsdorf will be turning in his grave. Rolex, take note this is unacceptable!
Noticed that too! Surprised this example made it through QA. They need some fresh eyes in that department.
I suspect this is still way better than what Wilsdorf was putting out
@BackdriftNightfall is there such a thing?
@@jeeefthegreat7555 wow I mean WOW Jake. I sense that you're a very angry individual. Have you tried therapy?
@@charlottegrieff662 Don't waste time with pathetic Rolex show-offs like him.
I think this is going to become massively collectable in the future in the same way that the green dial Daytona suddenly took off
nope
@@varunparkash9007it didn’t quite hit the mark for some reason…
In theory, I like the romance of meteor.
In reality, it looks like a linen dial.
I wonder if this is a first copy watch few clues here and there.
Glue Residue : 0:22
Paint Splash : 4:48
" first copy watch" - what does it mean? what is a "first copy watch"? thank you.
@@Strellock It means it's a first model, prototype...
It doesn't matter if it's the first watch in the series, their quality is obviously down from how it was years and years ago. Not worth buying this brand now.
@@Strellock as far as I know first copy watch means made using all the original processes and machines but not entirely by the brand itself...
Now how again due you spot an "expensive" fake Rolex ? Oh yeah, it's the quality control ! THEN, that watch on here is probably a fake.
4:48 look at the mistake rolex made with the terrible 4 splodges of read paint overspill on the red hand terrible quality control lovely watch but Rolex this is poor standards by Rolex not the top quality id expect no matter how tiny
that's a special security code
@footballcoreano 42.5k Pounds... if you arent snobbish you wouldnt be interested in buying a fucking meteorite dial rolex
footballcoreano fanboys will defend the indefensible. It’s shoddy QC and even the 8 indices has a mark on it. Talk about shit.
@@TupacAurelius u have a point.
"You must understand, young Hobbit, it takes a long time to say anything in Old Entish. And we never say anything unless it is worth taking a long time to say" - treebeard ftw
That is literally the first thing that my mind went to. Had to rewatch that scene for nostalgia.
I guess Rolex run by Ents.
Almost amazing, till you see the q.c. errors (noted by many observers here) and consider the widespread availability of low price watches that have a meteorite dial. Just saw a discounted Invicta Pro Diver with a meteorite dial on sale for $264.98..... Disappointing and I like Rolex.
Quality control issues: a black spot at the 8 o'clock marker and several red spots spilled at the base of the GMT hand triangle. Unacceptable for a Rolex!!
Retail Price = £29,550
Watchfinder price = £42,500
So are we paying an extra £13,000 for the slap dash paint job on the second hand?
good luck getting a rolex at retail
Eliran Sabak Good point we’ve got no chance.
@@stever7097 i cant afford a rolex, maybe after the army i would, but doesnt it seems stupid that i need to beg rolex to take my money and give me their overpriced watch?
That would be the GMT hand you simpleton
Getting a precious metal Rolex at retail is easy.. they are almost begging you to buy them at most ADS. It’s the dial in this case that makes the difference.
Maybe "No One Expected This From Rolex" was a reference to the sh!t-for-paint job on the GMT hand at 4:49. But no... I think people have actually come to expect that, as we've seen it so often. But at $40K? [tear drop rolls down cheek].
dean uga Why is no one talking about how Rolex sourced the Gibean Meteor while it was low key indicated that reservers of it are highly guarded as national treasure? More European stealing of precious materials hahaha, not that I claim so.
Your comment sums it all up.
1:35 Theres a bit of Tolkien in all of us. Nice touch :)
hope they find their wives tho..
I thought I was hearing things lol. Nice that someone else heard it.
This was clearly Rolex testing the waters, thats why they didn't say anything about it. Just a test to see how ppl react to it. If it works great, they'll do it again. If not, they kill it off and more than likely pass the design off to Tudor at a more affordable price and win still.
what time is it?
Very interesting and well executed video. I have a meteorite dial microbrand diver on order and was pleasantly surprised to see rolex showcase the dial and was also surprised by the information you provided on the particular meteorite used. Great video.
At 4:47, that splatter of red looks very unprofessional
This video changed my mind on this watch. That dial is simply fantastic!
How to Spot a Fake Rolex: 1)Paint splashes where they don't belong. Oh, wait a minute...
The white gold Rolex GMT with meteorite dial is a beautiful, rare and collectible watch. The dial composed of meteorite coming from space is wonderful.
That lecture about a meteorite is just hilarious! He should explain what a condom is next time.
The dial is lovely but the silver hands are camouflaged against it.
"What's the time?" Your partner asks.
"God knows, I can't read this thing," you finally admit, peering like Mr McGoo.
The finishing on the GMT hand is atrocious. GS > Rolex.
disastrix47 I’m with you there
Regular seiko wouldn't even allow that to pass QC
@@nickdias109 That's just wrong. Seiko can't even align their chapter rings consistently.
Nice dial, but i prefer the blue dial pepsi tho. wish to cop it later this year, any chance in London retailer?
The red paint job on that gmt hand where it meets the triangle is brutal
Simply the best watch I’ve ever seen. I f someone asked me what watch of all modern watches I’d want, price no factor, it would be this one. Sorry Patek, sorry RM, this is so sweet!
That sloppy paint job on the GMT hand (4:47) makes me cringe!! Great video, came here for a watch review and got an astronomy lesson as well!
Great video, as always. Revealing about the dial and the paint splash at 4:47
Loving the (not quite) Lord of the Rings reference 👍🏻
Please review the Seiko diver's reissue, SLA025, SLA017 and the new SLA033
Something about this videos audio is different from your other projects. Perhaps the treble is too high. I hear a bit of static on my headphones.
Love the total uniqueness of the dial. Out of my budget & reach 😱
Are the etching within the Arabic numbers on the bezel also in meteorite?
That was a very interesting presentation. The way the meteorite has been worked is quietly understated, but stunning nevertheless. In a world where people play at one-upmanship this is a glorious winner.
I requested this two weeks ago!
Nice, thanks a lot.
So many faking the watchfinder video format and I often mistakenly click on it.. glad to see this is no fake
4:47 -some unique splotches... Is that from Pattaya Beachroad for 3000 Baht? oOp -exactly... no one expected this from Rolex.
Really like your videos. By the way, can you review some Titoni swiss watches? Like the Titoni Cosmo King
The Pearlmaster, Day Date and Datejust have also featured similar meteorite dials
Your attention to the details, camera and light work altogether makes a video always very pleasing, one of the industry best. Well Mitiriorite must have a quantity barricade but again Rolex may focus on making porcelain dial same way following Seiko. This material is also so soothing. Rolex will make lot of improvements I am sure.
Rolex should look into their quality control, perhaps learn a thing or two from Grand Seiko
I love the solid case shape of that watch and the Sub
You sir are a technical poet!! Your words like music to our ears..The delivery deliberate , the tone even and smooth ...Excellent🤘🤘 the watch was nice as well lol
Black spot at the 8 o'clock marker. Serious QC issue at Rolex. Look at 2:08 and 5:25
Incredible videography, thanks!
What's with the big spec of dirt in the lume of the 8 o'clock index at 0:57 ?
Thank you for this video! I didn't know that this particular dial is from a meteorite! Love your videos. Great content, every time!
Yikes - what happened to QC re. the red paint stains on the GMT hand?
The paint splash on the second hand, just ignore it, Rolex did.
GMT hand. Lol
even replicas dont have this error
What is the soundtrack used in the intro? I love it so so much.
That watch is beautiful the meteorite dial almost gives a gmt albino look
I'm speechless! Specially in the 'Pepsi' configuration!!
These are the only videos I allow to pop-up on my phone: and I watch them immediately. Another great review. I wonder how long one would have to wait to get one of these?
You can buy the one in the video tomorrow if you like
This isn't the first time I've seen QC issues from high end companies on this channel. Patek had some bad bubbles on the print on their dial in an earlier video.
All I can see is that that black dot in the 8 o clock lum (at 59 seconds)....I can't unsee it
Damn it now I can't unsee it myself. Just adds up to the ugly red paint job on the GMT hand.
Please review the solid yellow gold champagne dial sky dweller..326938.. with the new sticks/baton dial
"No One Expected This From Rolex"
The poor finishing? Ofcourse we did. There no one as undiscerning as the Average Rolex Customer.
Brilliant presentation, as always! This watch is a real treasure.
Would love to see you guys review the Jaeger Lecoultre Reverso Moon Tribute
I have the steel but I'd love this meteorite dial white gold version too.
I like your videos very much, it's like listening to a very good teacher at school. I would love to see a review of the Tudor Fast Rider Blackshield on your channel. Greetings from Switzerland
4:47 quality control wtf ?
how does the dial look in sunlight?
All Rolex has to do is make a white faced submariner. Not sure why they haven’t yet
Stromboli it would be a hot seller
I really like the etched meteorite face, but it doesn't work with the red and blue outer dial in my opinion. If it was white and black/grey, it would look like the surface of a meteorite in and out of sunlight. Forgive me if im making a huge mistake and insulting the Great Rolex.
I don't agree that it doesn't work. That said, it would be cool if they had gone with say an all black ceramic, like the old LN. It could be argued that the colors detract from the beauty of the meteorite. All that said, at $40K and a waiting list as long as that meteorite took to form, I don't think it's anything I need to be too worried about.
DarkRanger919 if the dial was. White ceramic it would be a cool contrast
@@ZCT808 Still nice to appreciate art haha! Im more of a DIwhy sort of guy so my mind races when i think about how i can change this to be better. not that id touch something such as this even if i had it.
i like your black ceramic idea; it will look like a meteorite in the night sky.
Beautiful. My question is, when do you wear this?
It is a nice mix of casual and flashy. I wouldn't expect it on a diver so I can understand why they have done it on a traveling watch. Because If you travel allot it is more likely to be seen and noticed by other watch enthusiasts.
If the QC is this shoddy for what we can see, I can’t help wonder what is under the bonnet.
I was waiting so long for this!
Seamaster Apollo Soyuz vs Meteorit dial Daytona.
That GMT hand is ridiculous. 🤣🤣
Fantastic video!!! Always classy and informative. Thank you 🙏
Great presentation thank you 👍👍
My favorite Rolex GMT of all time!🔥
Whats next - fossilized dinasaur poop smeared over dial with more qc mistakes like 4:48..God knows when will this Rolex bubble will burst..
I hear they’ve developed a new isotope of Bullshitium to go with the Ripoffium they’re currently using.
@@numberstation Lol
so you can actually buy one right? "rolex sucks, i wish the bubble will burst so I can buy one" fucking lol
@@numberstation And it goes so well with the buyers' Pretentionitis.
Meteorite dust on the GMT hand, just makes the pointer arrow "Extra special"
The macro lens doesn't skip a beat and makes all things of meteor proportion!
I got this one and I love it. I wish they could have another color on the minute and hour hand though. Very difficult to see what time it is some times.
pm if you want to sell it please!
That just makes it cooler.
I think they must be checking their dials with reading glasses from Primark 🤦Really Rolex? Some day soon we're all going to realise you're taking the piss.
Geez... the micro shot on the GMT hand 🤦🏻♂️
Wow this dial is amazing!
I’d like to see a video on the Leica L1 and L2 watches, and/or on Lehmann Schramberg as a brand
Attempt #1
How many hours daily do you practice those subtle right hand movements? :)
The GMT hand has a painting error where the red paint meets the pointer. I still want it
with the pain splash .. if I seen this in the non AD , I will 100% believe this is a fake watch and walkaway, shame on your rolex with this kind of error
I love the voice and the accsent it's just perfect for a high class watch or car or just anything luxurious.
It's nice, I would like to see a Tudor Black Bay with a meteorite face
I can’t wait for the Moldavite Explorer II
Agreed, it is unique. 👍 How about HYT or Greubel Forsey.
Some quality control issues on this watch. Spec of black on one of the hour markers and poorly applied paint on the GMT hand.
When are they going to release a full platinum version of GMT?!
Did anyone notice the imperfection on the gmt hand at 4:50?There are small drops of red paint from the gmt hand near the triangle
Waiting period would be a few million years. Gotta wait for the meteoroids
a lot of fluff about the meteorite dial when everyone else have done it before... not to mention the finishing on this piece is surprisingly bad...
Can you review Cartier Pasha with Tic-tac-toe grid in front?
