This how I do it, I put my name down, and then forget about it, no perseverance.

With the Skydweller I showed an expression of interest at 2 dealers, first one actually called a year ago to ask me if I still wanted to be on the list, ooof!

then the second one called

Great looking watch(es)! In my experience, I think perseverance helps quite a bit, with the right AD.

Weird lighting.

That watch looks like a solid gold piece.

Yes there is ... Amex centurion concierge don’t have any relationship with Rolex. And got quoted that Rolex AD prefer to promote relationships with repeat customers (read professional grey market)

Congratulations on two skydwellers that’s awesome! I wonder if they made you wait longer since you already had the blue?

PS You must have great taste, I also have that Goyard wallet

Apparently, there is no such thing as a list... didn’t you know? Congrats on getting your SkyD! I have the same watch and I really enjoy it. Make sure to wear it in September so you can see the annual calendar work.

BTW, I was on a list too but we all know that there is no such thing...
