Icon7 White SS Sky Dweller Incoming!

This has been a long wait for me, but boy, is it going to be worth it!

I think white is by far the best dial color on the Sky Dweller, and it seems so versatile in the photographs -- at home with everything from blue jeans to black tuxedos. In fact, I think I am going to sell my "dress-only" IWC Portofino now (look for the sales thread shortly!).

I can't wait to take delivery next week, wear it, and take lots of pretty pictures! Here are some that the dealer snapped before shipping.

Fantastic piece, I bought my SS SkyD white about 4 months ago...the rest of my collection sitting ignored (BLRO, BLNR and Panerai 233). The watch is so amazing, I am thinking about buying a PM version. Enjoy and look forward to pics.

OP, did you get this from an AD? If so would you mind divulging how long you waited? I'm on a list for one with an AD that has been trustworthy so far and they told me that the SS SkyD are simply just rare from an allocation standpoint (they got 1 or 2 so far this year). I don't mind being patient, but I'd like to know realistically how long I might need to wait. Looks stunning btw!

The SS Sky-Dweller is a bit harder to obtain from ADs. I had to wait 2 years for the black dial I purchased last month. The AD told me they received 1 Black (mine), 1 Blue and 2 White dials and think that they will not be receive anymore for the rest of the year.
