I finally got the call! Incoming

When the Sky-Dweller first came out I remember reading about the technology of the movement with the annual calendar and wanted one in the worst way. Unfortunately I was in no position to spend that kind of money on a watch.

When the SS came out I was hoping I’d be able to get one at some point. I never expected to get the call for one this week. I got the call late in the day on Tuesday and picked it up yesterday. This watch looks even better in person than in any picture I’ve seen of it. I love the black dial!! In certain light it almost looks like a very dark gray. It’s a versatile watch I can wear with jeans or a suit.

The AD experience with Long’s was top notch. The SA I deal with is the consummate professional; knowledgeable and honest. I’m thrilled I was able to get the Sky-Dweller. For those of you waiting for one, your wait will be well worth it.

Big congratulations! I really love that watch. Got the same last summer and it has become one of my favorite watches to wear. Love the sunburst black dial.

Looks Great! I can't tell, at a glance, if it is SS or Gold...

I never thought they'd release the Sky-Dweller in stainless steel, and for a long time, I understood why. I get that it is a flagship model with an interesting complication, but because of those factors I thought it would always remain in precious metal.

Since giving the model an index dial and offering them in steel, I can appreciate how well this model fits in the professional line. Not to mention how great it looks.

Great watch. I myself could not justify spending the price for the solid gold models. Those cost more than my DD40. When I saw they offered 2 tone models I had to get one. I love the face and presence. I think rolex hit a home run on offering these models. Great great watch you have
