Congrats on the SkyD. My favorite reference of all time. Except I went Black and Chocolate. Not really a Blue fan other than my one and only 116613

Good luck on the "I'm done". I have said that many many many times and then got hit by the full PM bug. I do think/know I'm done on the SS route unless an A D call comes in for your avatar which basically means I'm done because that aint happening

Congrats again on the collection and incoming. Well done

12 BLNR Oyster
12 BLRO Jub
116610LV
OP 41 Tiffany Turquoise
500LN White
SkyD Jub Blue Dial

Best one? Most wearable, legible, balanced with bling/pop and vivid color, great history, recognizable? The one I've worn and the most? Pepsi!!

Second is the Daytona, more refined and sleaker than the pepsi, one of my favorites! But doesnt have the date wheel complication, and the PCL do not hold up like the Jub and I'm pretty crazy when it comes to scratches.

Third the skydweller. A work of art. The pictures don't do it justice. You have to experience the dial in the sun and how the WG fluted bezel shines with the Jub. And what the breeder does -- it's awesome. Wow! And that red pops. So innovative. Just very THICK !!

Hulk is great, beautiful sunburst dial. A special watch! But I cant keep the thing on for more than a week -- I get sick of it and have to swap it out. I could wear the pepsi for months, straight.

OP41 - what's there not to love. Great summer watch. Hype. Simple. Affordable. All around awesome.

And last the BLNR Oyster... Not much to say...

No interest in other references really... And given the rise in crime I can't ever imagine waking around with a PM to make myself even more of a target. No interest in other brands either.

I'm done. I think this is a pretty solid collection. It screams - hey, I'm different, I go against the grain and think for myself!

Hope everyone is well

Well is just friends but I think majority of people would prefer the Pepsi.... I was never a huge fan of the blnr.

I said this also when I got my Skydweller blue that I am done now after having a Hulk, rootbeer, white Skydweller. I was wrong. I’m craving for the Pepsi which I once used to had but sold at the start of the pandemic …. And also for a full PM GMT.

Not sure exactly. I took out the two small Jub links. And it gets tight, so I loosen with that 5mm extension but my wrist size is small compared with other skydweller owners....a DJ 41 or 40m is much more fitting for me.

Still, my relatively flat wrist without a wrist bone sticking out and attractive veins and just about perfect amount of body hair makes up for it.

Jk

You're probably right. I'm done for now, but some years down the line I may look into either a day date or PP on a leather strap. Or both. We'll see...
