Blue SS Skydweller Incoming!
I was fortunate to acquire the Blue Skydweller yesterday and immediately put it to the test. Yes, it survived a round of golf.

I absolutely love the wrist presence of this watch. It’s by far my favorite of my collection.

Yes, over the WG Sub, DD40, DDII, YG GMT and a few others. Not that I’ll part with any of them, but I think I would’ve stopped collecting if the Skydweller came before most of the others.

I have the same blue face on the DD40, but the color seems to stand out significantly more on the SD, probably because of the size.

They hit a home run with this one!

At first I got the x for broken link then miraculously is appeared so I changed my post. I'm sort of wondering if there was an accident since the golf cart is on its side however.

Gorgeous watch, congratulations. However you should never wear your Rolex watches, while playing golf, can screw up your movements....

I can't play golf at all. I don't think they could come up with a handicap for me!

That's a great pic.

I have got one arriving this coming week, though I already have a date just II with the blue dial, so not sure if they will be very similar, though from the pic it looks like they will wear fairly differently.

Look forward to getting it anyway, enjoy yours.

Interesting...looking forward to seeing one in the flesh, for sure.

It can probably take it but I would not play golf in such a lovely complicated watch. Too many little pieces to jar up.
