It looks like the SS SkyD's dont have the crown always upright? I wonder why Rolex didnt incorporate that into the SS models?

All the PM pieces have a patent that makes sure the crown is always 100% upright when fully screwed down.

Nice pictures. I am always drawn to black dial watches but with more than a few in the collection I then go toward blue and white. I like the white dial and think you made a good decision. I own two Sky-Dwellers in PM and enjoy them.

Big fan of the blue but I must say the white does look pretty nice

These are mock-ups FWIW.

I kinda like the Captain America name for Blue Sky-Dweller one TRF member mentioned some time ago.

Hey Wolf.
Same boat here. Have changed from blue to white and now black.
I'm first on list, you?
I posted a similar thread After my Sat visit, but no photos.
Great pics, this is how I should have posted, but I can't work out how to post pics from my hard drive.
Please message me on how to.
Regards

Hey Sam,

6th on list... but actually 3rd. I know..how? So of the 5 before me, 2 have requested ANY colour, the other 4 have requested either blue or black. So I'm the only one of the 6 that have requested white specifically. If the first two that come in are white, I'll be the third person to get.
To post pics from hard drive, when you're composing a reply/thread, below the text field, there's a section 'Additional Options'. In that section, select 'manage attachments'. You'll be able to attach images from your PC there. The cocktails were good the the way :) ... non alcoholic though.

Thanks for sharing. Your pics confirm that I'm making the right decision in going for the blue dial. The white is too white for me. If Ivory, I'd have gone for it.
