 Received this info in a e-mail this morning....This is what you get when js and Eyal get involved in helping resolve a problem....apparently this member of another forum purchased a original SubAqua meteorite dial watch that had a rusty dial...after months of waiting to receive his prized watch back here's what he received...look closely at the V in the Invicta on the dial....and here is some JS/BS that went alongcoyote2.gif


I am glad to have helped. I know Eyal is also very happy to see how much you love the watch.

I think it was an outstanding gesture for him to do this. For those that don't know... this is not the new Reserve M-SA, this is an original, and they have not been made for over 3 years at this point. When I approached Eyal on Kevins behalf the problem was that the dial had to be completely replaced... and of course there are no more Meteorite dials for the original size (and layout) of the Subaqua.

Eyal commissioned a ONE-OFF Meteorite dial to be made in that older (smaller) size, appointed with the same dial markings and indices as the original. I don't even want to think about how much a one-off piece like this cost. But Eyal was happy to do it, and did so very quickly. It took less than a month for the dial to be cut, and fit into the watch.

When I saw it my jaw dropped. As kevin's picture shows... it is IMO the most outstanding Meteorite dial you can imagine, and THE finest one I have personally seen. The detail is striking.

Enjoy the watch my friend. You went through a lot on this one, and you deserve to enjoy it.
