Sky D SS blue found one at MRP!

Happy to let fellow members of this forum know that a little research and persistence from my side and a whole lot of luck has paid off ,

got my SS sky dweller with a blue dial from the ad at list!

All I did was call up the dealers all over the country and used a little influence and here it is!

Paid for it in advance today ,will be on my wrist in a weeks time as I have to go to Mumbai to collect it !

I consider my self lucky a SS Daytona C in white got it in 3 months and the SS Sky D in a matter of 2 months
...
Sorry about the poor quality of the pictures sent to me by the sales guy but will post better ones once on my wrist ... along side my Daytona C

Hope fully this completes my quest ....

Congratulations lovely piece, I was in Mumbai last month the price in the ADs are really inflated over there compared to most other countries. I guess it's because of the tax in India.

Health to wear!

We can't really assess the truth in your contention that research, persistence, and luck will get someone a blue dial SkyD at list price until you reveal what influence you have and how you used it! :-)

Congratulations on getting the two hottest pieces in the current Rolex lineup!

I'm curious to know what the "little influence" is. Looks like I could learn from you.
