Long-Awaited Surprise Incoming! Blue Sky-Dweller!
After waiting for this piece since Basel 2017 I finally got the opportunity to add it to my collection this past weekend!

On Saturday morning I stopped by my AD, Wilson & Son Jewelers, to catch up and talk with the owners about the new Basel releases/changes. While we were chatting and looking at the new 2019-2020 catalog a blue dial SS Sky-Dweller, still fresh in it's coffin, was placed on the table in front of me. My jaw dropped! I couldn't believe it! And as they say, the rest is history.

I can't say enough good things about Wilson & Son and feel very fortunate to have such a stand-up AD local to me.

Has been undermining the piece ... must admit it is great watch, although size wise I’d welcome 40 mm case

I would welcome 40mm as well. Tried one on and it looked like a satellite dish on my wrist. Gorgeous watch, however

Completely awesome. I wish I had the wrist for it (too small at 6.5).

Grats!
Gotta be on the good list for ADs to bring it from the secret stash.

I miss the days when they would just keep everything on display.
