Hmm. I would never have selected the white but you've really made me think twice. It's simply gorgeous. Congrats!

Beautiful. Regarding the box, interestingly enough by brother’s black SS SkyS came with smaller box and my white SS SkyD came with medium size.

Absolutely stunning dial. It seems be a different color every time I glance at it.

The AD, who I have a good relationship with, requested to remove the stickers “per Rolex policy”. They did not have any issues with me keeping the coffin, both tags, warranty card and all other standard booklets.

I also received a nice Rolex pen.

The only thing that was unexpected was that I was given one of the small boxes which seemed weird for a watch this large, but since it is SS, maybe that is normal. I did not press the issue. It is now in a drawer and forgotten about anyway.

I know this is more detail than many of you care about, but having details like this from others helped my wait. I now have 2/3rds of my SS SEAL collection.

It looks great. I have my name down and said I would be interested in any colour dial as they all look brill, but I do think the white is my favourite.

Is the clasp considered large? It is much smaller than what I am accustomed to on my 116610LN.

Hi. I've still to collect it, but my AD phoned last week to say my black dial SKyD was in.
I won't post a pic, as I'm the last one still using a Blackberry.
White does look great, so for me blue is least favourite.
Regards.

Congratulations; I've yet to see a SkyD I didn't like. Yours is #40 on the forum.
