What is the watch dial made of? Looks great!

Import used luxury whips. Sell at a premium. You probably shouldn't try it unless you have some connects or else you'll deal with some shady characters.
Or that 419...

His info is in his sig I suggest you pick the phone up and just call him or even text him.

(310) 617-9805

Ive been trying to get a piece of him for a couple of weeks but his replies through text are sporadic. I did notice he was in Vegas last week though so maybe that has something to do with it; his instagram seems pretty active though so I dont know whats up. Im starting to get thirsty for that Cherub pendant over here. lol

"Yes, it is real Meteorite and is literally out of this world! Here are some interesting facts. It has been radiometer tested and found to be 4 Billion (not 4 million) years old. It hit the earth when the earth was a mere infant at about 500,00 years old. The earth is estimated to be 4.5 billion years old now. It was found in Africa in the late 1800's I believe.

There is something very unique in being able to say your watch dial is 4 billion years old! a great conversation piece."

"Although Rolex AFAIK hasn't released which specific meteorite they get theirs from. It could be from different meteorites. Iron meteorites have distinct patterns (when looked at through a 10X loupe) which cannot be replicated, due to the crystalline structure which is formed from pressure and slow cooling over millions of years.

Iron meteorites are made up of mainly iron and nickel. The darker is called Kamacite and the lighter is Taenite. Both minerals are iron and nickel, but taenite has more nickel.

About 4.5 billion years ago a large mass of "stuff" (iron, nickel and other minerals) gathered into a ball due to gravity. This ball of "stuff" slowly cooled in the vacuum of space over a million or more years. It took this long to cool because a perfect vacuum has no molecules to transfer heat to. This means it can’t properly conduct heat. This principle is used to store hot liquids in storage containers such as thermoses. Essentially even though you may think of space as cold it would actually allow hot objects to retain heat longer than if they were on Earth.

During the really, really slow cooling the different elements began to bond together. Nickel would like to bond as soon as possible. At about 1100 degrees C. nickel atomic structure is stable enough to allow bonding. Iron, however is still reluctant to bond. So as time passes more Nickel atoms bond than Iron atoms bond. That is how the different colored crystalline bands form. These are call Widmanstatten patters (or Thomson structures). Treatment with nitric acid causes patterns of Widmanstätten to appear on the surface because the acid eats away one of the minerals more than the other which helps it to stand out."

Wut? [emoji]128514[/emoji] bruh P has always had top notch authentic jewels. He puts all rappers/singers/producers to shame.
I always thought they were diamonds until I started looking into the prices of coloured diamonds. I started to think it was more of a piece to show creativity without spending who knows what on it.
A grip plus there's a pendant hanging on it.
Yeah the N*E*R*D and red dog pendant

Always been one of my favourite chains/pendants.

"What we are referring to is a version of the legendary Rolex Daytona that happens to feature a face made out of 100% real meteorite. Gibeon Meteorite, to be exact. Gibeon Meteorite fell to earth approximately 12,000 years ago (although who knows how accurate that is), and was discovered in 1836 in a rural part of Namibia. The total fall is estimated at 26000 KG, however much of it is now protected under Namibian law and can not leave the country. Gibeon meteorites are made of an iron-nickel alloy, but contain also cobalt and phosphorous. It has been dated to be about 4billion years old, and while it's not exactly rare, Rolex has been able to secure some of the finest, most striking pieces of it."

The chemical composition of the Gibeon is:
90% iron
8% nickel
0.4% cobalt
0.04% phosphorus.
The minerals in the Gibeon are:

Kamacite, taenite make up 99%+ of the meteorite
Troilite (an iron sulfide) is common as nodules and in recrystallized forms.
Chromite (chrome oxide) is found occasionally
Daubreelite is found in the kamacite.
Enstatite (a silicate mineral--pyroxene) is rare.
Tridymite (a silicate mineral) is rare.
