This is a watch with a great name and a great Moon

This is a Grimoldi Watches fake with a great name and a great Moon phase system. It includes a piece of genuine meteorite. This is why it is name as the "Moon Meteorite Watch". Collectors of fine timepieces are used to having the finest materials involved in the creation of their replica Watches. Gold, silver, platinum and diamonds all feature in pieces from Cartier, Rolex and Patek Philippe.

However one type of material, worth more per gram than gold, is rare even for watches: fragments of meteorite. Yet that is exactly the source for the dial in Arnold & Sons' recently released True Moon Meteorite replica Alain Silberstein Watches.

Available in either a stainless steel or an 18kt pink gold case (46mm in diameter), the attractive piece displays the date and, naturally, a patented Moon phase system and perpetual Moon cycle (powered by an independent gear set), plus the date at the 3 o'clock position.

It is also water-resistant to a depth of 100 feet, though presumably the brown croco strap is not, and has a cambered sapphire crystal case-back.

The dial itself is made from meteorite with special hatching. But Arnold & Sons do not specify what kind of meteorite it is, beyond that it is rare, hard as steel, and found in the Arizona desert. We might hazard a guess at an iron meteorite such as octahedrite.

Although extremely unusual, this is not the first time that we've seen meteorite used in a fake Aigner Watches dial. The Louis Moinet Magistralis contains fragments of moon meteorite-even rarer than octahedrites-and an fake Blancpain Watches created to celebrate a joint US-Soviet has some too (see below).

It is said that the fake Roger Dubuis Watches is worth to buy whether for collecting or for wearing. It is another fake Rolex SubMariner Watches that comes with a limited edition.
