Rounding out collection with a Sky Dweller (Hopefully)

Hey guys! Havent been around much, but wanted to share my almost complete Rolex collection. Each watch has some sort of meaning. Im hoping to round out my set with a Blue Sky Dweller, but its pretty frustrating trying to get my hands on one. I get a premium, but dang people want a lot for these. My local AD (San Antonio) wants me to buy a bunch of other crap to even get on the list, and my AD in LA pretty much laughed at me. I guess going grey is my only choice, but I wont bite until I can get to around $17k. Anyway, here is my collection!

BLNR
Platinum Rhodium Yacht
Meteorite Daytona
Hulk

would be a perfect addition. there is one for sale in the classifieds that you could probably get for 18 flat. 17s for blue just isnt really possible now in this market

its worth it though, grab it!

I got a call for a white, but I passed. I have a black dial (BLNR), two sorta whites. I also have a lot of black in my other case, Breitling Blackbird, Omega Moonwatch, and a couple other minor ones. I have a huge lack of blue, which is my favorite color.

Some times to accomplish what you want you just have to bite the bullet. Good luck with your search. Getting one slightly used may be cheaper than looking for NIB especially with stickers.

The SkyD would fit right in to an already stellar collection.

Beautiful collection. I’d wait a while on the SkyDweller. The grey market has tons. Prices have started to drop.

Yeah that’s pretty much my thought. So msrp is $14,400. With tax that’s $15500, and I have no problem with a $1500-2000 premium. But any more and I feel bad about it.

Just saw this in the classifieds...price is a little higher than you were looking but maybe the seller will negotiate.

I had a two tone Daytona , but gold doesn’t go well with my skin. Since I’ve never worn it, I’ve grown not to like it.

with a sky dweller you'd have 3 rolex with polished center links and only one brushed.

how about adding a dj on jubilee? OR GET A SUPER JUBILEE FOR YOUR GMT.
then you're 100% buddy.
