I'll certainly let you know if I'm ever in the big apple.

You'll have to be very careful about which watch you choose to wear otherwise I'll be too busy drooling to talk horology

This was a very tough choice for me as I acquired both the WG and RG versions a few weeks ago! Both pieces are phenomenal and the perfect baby steps for the Rolex brand to start making complicated timepieces! At the end of the day the below won out for me!

Oh my!!!!!!!!!!

Major congrats, Sam!!!

travisb · 10 December 2012, 12:03 AM

Outstanding, Sam!

The RG is beautiful. Wear it in good health.
Thx for the entertaining thread.

Complications aside the rose gold oyster case with the chocolate dial and the brown strap is AMAZING !! looks great on your wrist too !

Congrats and may you wear it in good health for many years to come sir

please do continue to share wrist shots ,, aparently the RG skydweller likes to be photographed,, totally photogenic !!

imono · 10 December 2012, 02:11 AM

Pray tell Sam - did you buy at AD and did you enjoy the AD experience?

Lanfor · 10 December 2012, 02:29 AM

I was a little surprised that you went for the RG version Sam

I thought you would go for the WG version because of the bracelet. I recall the leather strap on your JLC being a worry for you when you purchased it as your don't wear your pieces with leather straps as often

goldrolielove · 10 December 2012, 02:36 AM

Congrats Sam ! The RG looks great on you.

T.S.Eliot · 10 December 2012, 02:44 AM

Absolutely phenomenal Sam

you chose right

boogiebot · 10 December 2012, 09:37 AM

WOW!!!!!

:wors hip:

That is just amazing. Big congrats to you Sam

What an amazing piece to add

Enjoy and wear it in health.

warren G. · 11 December 2012, 07:39 AM

Holy cow Sam, what an awesome thread. I love the chocolate dial, dead drop gorgeous.

jakologo · 11 December 2012, 09:13 AM

I think you put the SkyDweller on the map. After months of "ho-hums", now there is nothing but "Aaaahs". Congratulations !

FremStar · 16 December 2012, 12:48 PM

Thank you everyone again for wishing EB & I well with this latest acquisition...

Sorry for my late response Young Jedi, I am just re-reading this thread again... You are 100% correct! I was surprised myself, however, one look and feel of the RG on my wrist was a game changer for me. I am however wishing I kept the WG version, however, I am sure I will get it again on the secondary market... For now these three will satisfy my RG thirst... Here is a pic in all it's iPod Touch glory!

The pic is super grainy, however, I am sure you know the references ;-)

Trouble15 · 16 December 2012, 01:02 PM

Though it's a bit grainy, nice shot of the RG trio Sam!

John8818 · 16 December 2012, 03:26 PM
