Sky Dweller Bi-Colour 326933

Hi All,
I'm fairly new to colelcting watches and have been offered a black bi-colour sky dweller for £11,500 (2019 with box and papers). This seems like a damn good deal to me, hoping to get some feedback on whether it is! Cheers

Sounds good, a working ring command will quickly weed out any fakes, that’s if you do the transaction in person or from a reputable source

Everything seems to be working fine, I know the guy who runs the AD so trust that it definitely isn't fake as he sold it when new last year.

As others will say buy the seller, as you know the AD and he originally sold it cant see any issues.

Great watch but before any other consideration, you need to love the watch!!! Buying just for value alone isn't sufficient as buying and selling requires work and patience!!

If it's from a Rolex AD and they originally sold it, it's a bargain.

The Sky Dweller is a fantastic watch.

If you want the watch you will not be presented with a better offer. Although at that price I would have a close look at it for damage.

It’s too cheap, by quite a way. Doesn’t add up.

That’s about $14,656 in US dollars?

Great deal considering grey market prices....

Yes about $14.5k US. I know love the watch, just conscious about the market.

Spoken like a true Yorkshireman. :) (Sorry, a joke for the English).

If you are worried about future values, then don't buy it. Watches are for wearing and enjoying, they are not investments.

I have a Sky Dweller and it's a fabulous thing - robust, complicated and has a clever and unique way of adjusting. Which is why I bought it - I don't give a moment's thought about what it might be worth.

If you like it buy it... if you're going to worry about its value, then don't.

I think it’s normal to think about the value when spending so much. Not relying on it keeping value but nice to know it’s not halved in price when I walk out the door :p

Yes, got 4 years warranty remaining :)

That’s an awesome price. TT Black Skydweller is a great watch.

That was my first thought and I posted to this effect. Then I spotted that it was a Rolex AD supplied watch.

That gives assurance, but it's still a bargain. If it wasn't an AD I would be walking in the other direction.

Yup, eventually spotted that - first time, I read 2017 for some reason and wondered if they might offer their own extension

It is a bargain, but these get bought in for less than that so it’s probably a very quick way for the AD to make a few easy quid. Seems to me like a great deal as long as you like the watch.

I had a white TT and ultimately got rid of. If it had been the black it might have still been here!
