This is about a week late but here goes. Well I’d practically given up on this one. I’d been in waitlists since this baby Basel’d. The day I got the pic of it in its coffin I’d just been given the news I needed to replace my AC unit. That obviously didn’t stop me. I really can’t say enough about this piece- the size, the wrist presence, and the dial is incredible. I love how the dial varies in different lighting. Well here goes....

Big congrats on the Blue SkyD - a truly amazing watch! I am secretly glad I can hide behind the excuse it would look too big on me...otherwise I'd waiting everywhere I could for one.

Enjoy it in the best of health!

ZOOK · 5 October 2018, 08:35 AM

Congratulations, I hope you find it well worth the wait.

Enjoy it before you dive into that A/C problem.

Scrolled down too fast looking at the pics and saw this. Thought A/C = Annual Calendar problem

Too late already had to fix that. It was 3 days with very little AC. $7k later and its fixed. It has been worth the wait!

Thanks so much! One AD near me has never gotten a SS at all and another has only gotten one white one.

Congrats. It’s beautiful. Wear it in good health.
While visiting my AD today and just talking about my wishlist which includes a SS SD he said the SS SD is even more rare than Daytona C. He said they have only seen one SS SD come through their store since it was introduced.

FTX I · 5 October 2018, 10:22 AM

Beautiful watch. Enjoy!
