It was your pink gold one that did me in!
I love the white gold one but just don't need another WG for my collection. |

Is the chocolate sunburst dial on the Sky Dweller exactly the same as on the Daytona RG ceramic?

 I am also certain in a few more months on the secondary market prices will soften strongly... Just look at the YM2 on the secondary market!  Quote:

Never thought I would say this Sam, but I think at 50k for an annual calendar that is built like a tank and you could go swimming with is actually "good value for money" IMO considering the alternatives...
Huge congrats...

I would love to join you brother Sam, but your club is just a little too exclusive for me!

Sam don't hate me but I honestly like the YG version the best, I know you only ended up keeping the RG and WG, but the YG is the one that speaks to me, then again who cares since I'm not the one who wrote the check

The YG is a striking piece, however, would not have made much sense since I own the black dial 116718. For the record, I only kept the RG version and moved the WG version to a fellow collector ;-)

Just saw a Skydweller in person for the first time today. Was down the Borgata in AC and passed by Borgata Jewels, they had the yellow gold in the window. My girl laughed at me said I looked like a little kid looking at it, very very nice piece. I wonder how many people know what it is as they pass by it...

Wow what a watch feels amazing on the wrist. Here's a picture of my watch hanging out with the rest of the collection as well as the new beauty!!! |

Thanks Fremstar.
Out of curiosity, are you keeping your SkyDweller on a winder? I'm thinking about getting a winder just for the SD. |

Thanks Trouble!
It has not come off my wrist since I got it. Fremstar, your picture of the gold GMT is now speaking to me. This forum is seriously dangerous. HAHAHA |

I alternate mine with my DD, so no need for a winder. Plus I kinda look for an excuse to use the bezel, so a few days off are not so bad.

Sam, love your SkyD pics!! My next piece is leaning heavily towards the YG one. Haven't seen one in person yet but I've been searching around locally. Congrats again!!!

  Joel (piper) and Evil Bendy have some stellar pics up as well of the RG Sky! Be sure to comb this thread to check out their pics!  The YG version is striking in person, I think you will love it! Good luck!

Congrats Sam. RG was definitely the way to go. It's gorgeous with that chocolate sunburst dial and the brown croc strap. You're definitely pimpin'. Good choice my friend!

not that many around
Congradulations -
Finding a shop that has them in stock is not easy - I'm from an area where the bonavide Rolex AD's don't have them yet - finally saw one in person while on my last business trip to Hong Kong a couple of weeks ago - went over to Kowloon and all the Rolex AD's had thme over there - tried on - its a big heavy, thick watch - even bigger than my GMT II - liek the dealler said there is a lot of mechanical stuff going on in the case and they need room - have fun with it - how complicated is the quikset in the SkyDweller - never found that out - how many stops on the winder ? |

To be perfectly honest, I have set my Sky-D once and haven't played with the functions much! It is super simple to set and highly intuitive! Check out the video below!

Thanks Sam
that was very informative on the quiksets from the video you provided - does appear to be easy and combining the crown release with they bezel positions really appears to make it easy - enjoy it - many thanks |
