Incoming: The sky is blue!
One more grail piece for me was added to my collection today. The last 30 days has been amazing for getting calls. The blue Skydweller has been on my mind ever since I saw one in person - absolutely a dream watch. The dial is very dynamic and vibrant, Thank you to my amazing AD and SA!

Something of note: the watch is very balanced in the wrist even for a 7” wrist size. At 14mm it (like most Rolex) appears thinner due to the design of the case back. Truly impressed with this piece. I’ve been eagerly waiting for this watch and it definitely not did disappoint.

Congrats, However I think your use of the term "Grail" is what's called an Oxymoron.

I didn't realize that was possible. How could I go about getting the jubilee? I have one on an oyster.

You can order from RSC. I think it’s about US$1.5k

I knew something about this thread sounded familiar. When I got my Blue SkyD I titled my Incoming thread the same. https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=774148

Great minds…

Congrats!

It’s great. Frankly though I wish it hadn’t appreciated so much on the gray market because I rarely wear it. It doesn’t have a mark on it and while I have zero intention of selling it, knowing a slight blemish or ding could cost $1000’s in value it’s hard for me to want to take that risk.

I saw a guy at Costco wearing one on Jubilee yesterday. He isn’t concerned about dings, why am I? I don’t know. Anyway, on the rare occasion I put it on I hate taking it off.

Wear it, enjoy it. I’ll keep trying to do the same.
