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.
Ive heard similiar things from ADs. I dont understand it but hang in there. Waiting is free!!

Huge Congratulations! The blue dial Sky-Dweller is my favorite SD. I am very happy for you, and Kudos for having the patience. I believe it will make the watch even more enjoyable for you.
Cheers,
Carl

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

It’s a great watch. The Sky-Dweller really impressed me when I first saw it. It’s become one of my favorites to wear. Enjoy!

INCOMING- and a year and a half wait!!!

Loverly watch. I was fortunate to also have the call this week ( unfortunately post price increase but you can’t have it all )

I’d only ever tried on the white gold on leather .. which I loved . Really surprised how much more well balanced and comfier the steel is. Blue face just trumps the Arabic black face on the previous WG too

Congratulations. It looks great. Good things happen to people who are patient

However, is it me or is the date off by one month. (Based on last pic 29th of October I believe)

I hope so as I just woke up. Otherwise it would mean I slept for faaar too long
