Incoming Grail - Skydweller!

I've been obsessed with watches since I was a young, I would always peer through the jewelry shop window drooling over the watches that were physically so close, yet financially so far away. It was always my dream to own one of those watches.

On Saturday I finally picked up my grail. I'm getting married 30th May and I cannot think of a nicer watch to pair with the wedding band and suit that I will be wearing on our special day.

Taken on an iPhone so it's not the best quality but it's the first picture I took of the watch and I'm a sentimental sod so want to share it. Tbf I think the Skydweller speaks for itself good or bad photographer!

.

It's a very good idea to buy such a watch the day before your wedding instead of the day after ... your lawyer sees what I mean

Anyway, congrats for these 2 important events

Very Nice! Congrats on the wedding! Marriage is sweet. Pic looks good - I happen to be quite fond of the in-the-whild iPhone pics of the references. Something authentic about snapshots.

CONGRATS on a very nice piece, and best of wishes on a joyous occasion! Good luck when it's time to pair that baby up with a complimentary watch for the new misses.

Congrats OP. I have owned the WG version for almost 2 years now and have enjoyed every moment of it.
