Incoming!!! Sometimes They Come in Bunches...
I had recently been allocated an SD43 and a Pepsi so I wasn't expecting another call anytime soon. But yesterday my amazing sales associate reached out to let me know that they had taken in a Pre-owned White dial Skydweller, and it was mine if just one person passed on it. I stopped by to try it on last night and fell in love. Well today was my lucky day when he passed, and I was able to collect!

I had been on the fence about White vs. Blue (see my previous posts), but seeing this beauty in person was all the convincing that I needed. The dial is such a unique shade of white and looks very different depending on the light.

Thank you very much for this community for all the pictures in my previous thread, and thank you to Wixon Jewelers and my SA Debra. If anyone wants an intro to the best AD in the Midwest let me know!

So what was the price of a pre-owned piece at an AD?

Wow!
Nice pick up! But:

"Well today was my lucky day when he passed, and I was able to collect!"

The poor guy who isn't with us anymore sure paid a high price for you to obtain your new watch. But hey, that's the way it is now days!

I've seen a handful that do. Wixon does, and typically has a fantastic selection. Also makes it easy to trade up when the need arises!

I'll say that it was above MSRP, but definitely below market price. I felt like I got a very solid deal.

That white dial tint-shifting is absolutely hypnotizing, isn't it, Andy.

Hahaha, yeah I totally agree. I also have a Polar Explorer, and while I love the crisp white of that dial the shifting nature of the Skydweller is absolutely incredible.

Congrats on the watch. I just picked up my White dial sky dweller few weeks ago.
To be honest, i think it is the best dial colour for the sky dweller. Most people would agree if they saw it in person. It beats the blue and black hands down. So elegant. So Versatile and classy.
