In keeping spirit with the DateJust, Submariner, DSSD, Presidents, YM, etc. owners clubs on TRF I have decided to start this club/thread.

As a Rolex enthusiast and collector I must admit that I was ECSTATIC when I initially heard rumors that Rolex was planning on introducing a new complication! I couldn't wait to see the unveil at Basel 2012! From the Basel unveil we all came to realize that the Sky-Dweller has a bitter sweet design that you either hate or love! Aesthetics aside collectors must draw conclusions that the first Rolex annual calander from our beloved company is one to be reckoned with! I am definitely intrigued to see what the company has in store for us in the future... Could this be a segway into creating a perpetual calander? Minute Repeater (most likely not)? Only one can dream and ponder

I aquired both the WG and RG versions....

At the end of the day reference 326135 was the one that made me scream and say... THIS IS IT!

My local time has been set to NY and reference time to Cairo, Egypt

I am inclined to say that as more folks see the piece in person they too will enjoy what Rolex has done in taking steps to enter the realm of Patek and Vacheron.

Congrats on the Sky Dweller Sam!

RG with the mouthwatering chocolate dial would be my choice as well

Cru Jones · 11 December 2012, 04:15 AM

Nice one, Sam!

Somehow I doubt this club thread will go on for pages and pages and pages, if only because of the membership fees.

But, I totally agree with you that with time, the SkyD admirers will grow and grow.

Hmmmmm....that gives me an idea! Maybe I'll start "The Official TRF Sky-Dweller Admirers Club". Hey, at least it's a club I can join right away!

What sort of Box and bits come with the watch Sam?

Did you get a bezel protector? ;-)

I got bezel protector with the standard box and papers

Watchflair · 11 December 2012, 04:17 AM

Wow Sam. You really out did yourself with those purchases.

Dan Pierce · 11 December 2012, 04:19 AM

Sam,
You wear it well, my friend!

FeelingTheBlues · 11 December 2012, 04:21 AM

That's a lovely lovely watch...

In all seriousness, that was a great thread opening post Sam! I love your reference and I hope to see more pictures from different owners soon enough!

Amazing Sam. Major congrats!

www777 · 11 December 2012, 04:50 AM

Wow. I'm torn between getting the WG or RG. I guess you solved that problem. Out of curiosity if you had to pick just one to keep which one would it be?

imono · 11 December 2012, 05:03 AM

Where are the other owners of this exclusive club?
Come on and show it off here.
We'd love to see all.
I can only admire and dream.

Rockrolex · 11 December 2012, 05:11 AM

Just to add a slight bit of negativity to this thread, as I said somewhere else, the Skydweller is just not my cuppa. Now, the YM-II, OTOH, is a thing of beauty and a joy forever. Probably my next grail.

jon54 · 26 February 2020, 12:30 AM

Good one Sam.

My only regret is that James Bond wasn't wearing a SkyD in SkyFall...

But then in the latest incarnation of the Bond character, personal devices are old school i.e. no exploding pens!!!

However, perhaps when Rolex bring out a SkyD (I wish) in stainless steel Bond will re-evaluate his tastes and preferences.

Speed · 11 December 2012, 05:18 AM

I heard the next Bond will don a G-Shock. ;-)

Got mine, black dial, 2 days ago.

Could you tell me if you have the same hallmark inside the lugs of yours ?

I have been told it's reserved to Rolesor models sold in France, but I am skeptical.

Got mine first half of August. I was the first at the AD to ask for one. I don't understand why people were slow on the uptake on these. I was into the AD three days after the intro.

I don't recall seeing the mark; I'll double check. Not certain why France would get it.

I thought there is a long waitlist for the Blue SS Skydweller?

I have yet to see one on any AD's display.

BTW, can you share some more pics? Preferably indoor shots. Thanks!
