Thank you. Here is another Blue face dail I really like..., had this one before purchasing the sky Dweller. This is the PAM 692, BMG. Supposedly indestructible and scratch resistant with the bulk metel Glass material.

I just noticed the lighting was poor and blue dial looked muted. Here is a better picture with proper lighting.

Congrats the SS SkyD blue is an exceptional piece! Was my daily beater for the past year or so and worked flawlessly. That's been displaced as daily beater by the recently released Seiko Alpinist blue dial with aftermarket '3D' SS bracelet.

What a nice daily beater watch to have and wear, mine is reserved for the occasional weekend night out/day watch...

Nice score. Very hard to get. I am still in the not sure phase with the SD. No doubt a beautiful watch with a super cool complication.

I can personally attest that this blue Sky-Dweller looks great on Todd :)

I was visiting my AD last week and happened to meet a really nice guy who was having his new blue Sky-Dweller sized. We chatted watches and cars and shared our respective car pictures from our phones. I just stumbled across this thread and recognized the wrist shot and 911.

Congrats again on a very nice pick up Todd. It was nice to meet you.

Great watch, nice car, small world.

Never understood the wild popularity of this model compared to the DJII.

Very similar to a DJII but with a busier dial IMO.

I like them both BTW.

Congrats on a beautiful watch!

Ok, I’m going to embarrass myself. What is the DJII watch?
