Made the decision

So ironically I picked up my Batman from my AD a year ago today. At the time it was my second Rolex (bluesy was first). In my past life I had a bunch and they were easy to get….even got discounts. lol.

So I said to her a year ago “should I just pick my next one now since the wait is so long?” She actually told me not to. To make sure I knew what I wanted. And I’m not in a financial position to just buy 3 a year IF they call.

I was thinking White Polar Explorer. I liked it. It would help with some diversity. But recently I’ve had my eye on the Skydweller. On Oyster. Never liked the Jubilee on anything stainless for me.

Well last week I popped into another AD & they had the Stainless Skydweller, white face but on Jubilee. I fell in LOVE with it. Of course they couldn’t sell it to me. lol. So I Immediately called my AD & let her know.

I’m glad I waited. Cause I’m 100% sure it’s the one. Now the official wait begins. So my question is….how long do you think that wait might be??

Well, unsure as to the conditions of your local market but I’m sure if you bought something unrelated, you’ll get a call much faster.

Don’t think he hasn’t actually got the watch yet.

It’s a nice piece, don’t think my steel Sky come through the ADs, white should be easier to get than blue or green though.

You'll love it. It's a great piece. I originally got mine on oyster but was able to get the jubilee bracelet so best of both worlds. Wait was about 4-5 months last year.

I'm on the hunt for a BLNR now.

Great choice. I wouldn’t think too terribly long of a wait.

Pure guess:

Three to four months. I hope that's the case, and I wish you the best of luck getting this watch.

Love the SkyD on jubilee. Probably my favorite at the moment. White is growing on me.

Congratulations in advance. It wasn't until I tried a Sky Dweller on that I knew it was for me. If something clicks, it just clicks. It will be worth the wait.

Good choice. I am a huge Sky-Dweller fand and own the white, black and blue in SS. If I only had one it would probably be the white dial. I hope your wait is not long.

You chose wisely. The white dial skydweller is absolutely stunning. My favorite dial in the skydweller range. If I had the wrist for it, I'd go for it without hesitation.

Congrats in advance. Here's hoping you get yours soon

I saw the blue yesterday, IRL, and it’s stunning, but you’ve got blue covered. The white will be a nice addition. I hope you get it soon. Good choice, and good luck!

Hope your wait is short. My personal take is that Skydwellers’ production is more limited than other models but demand is less too. Depending on the size of your AD I’ll speculate 6 months or less.
