Well, your posting title wasn't lying I guess. Lol. I just didn't expect to read what had happened. Damn! What a let down! I guess you can't blame her for at least trying and offering it to you. She probably shouldn't have thrown in "Well....it's your lucky day".

WG Daytona on OF is a very nice piece! I personally like that one. You did the right thing though. Don't buy anything that you don't want. Hopefully one of her calls afterwards will make someone's day!

[Calatrava r]

Huge cost difference for a watch you really did not want. Good move.

[Gva1985]

Right decision, I believe every AD in the world is trying to offload of Skydwelkers nowadays… pretty much available everywhere

[Barada7]

They offered, you declined. I’d have done the same thing. For me, the Sky D in precious metal is too big, too heavy, and too expensive.

[travisb]

Oh man....what a downer! Hopefully in the new year.

Wouldn’t consider myself patient bit will be on this one….

Trolling?? Ive been here for years goofball, no trolling here. Maybe trolling has a different definition in Asia. Stay in your lane fella…..

[BlondesNwatches]

The way she offered makes it seem like it’s something the OP wanted which got his hopes up. She should have been way more upfront instead of a slimy used card salesman.

[pandajoe]

Oh man so close. Good for you to not compromise and wait for the one you want. The gold OF SkyD are clearly harder to sell. Were on open display and for sale in a Toronto AD about a week ago.

[goldboy]

"I got you" - as though it hadn't been declined already by three other potential buyers lol

[Zahnarzt]

I feel your disappointment as well. Tried on the blue dial SS past summer, of course it was not for sale,at least not to me. They did say the rose gold grey dial SS on oysterflex sitting in the case could be mine!
Lovely watch, tried it on for shits and giggles, but not the one I wanted.

[SLWoodster]

It’s really nice. But it ain’t for me.

Based on what?

[Robf52]

Always a good move not to "settle".

[Giovannibravo]

ADs have maintained this faux scarcity. I assume it will eventually break as Rolex forces them to continue buying watches even if they have current stock. Certain SS models (i.e., GMT, Daytona, LV Sub) are still challenging, but the current stock in the back that doesn't sell will move into the showcases this year. Also, good move OP in holding out for what you want. You will eventually get it.

[Tavli3]

I just turned down the yellow gold version. Been waiting 5 years for blue dial. But just got the the Petite Le Mans so can’t complain

ADs are having a hard time moving SS SkyDs?

That's not the case around the NYC area. If it is the case elsewhere, I would imagine that it's only the black and white dialed variants that are sitting in display case for sale.

[alphadweller]

Let us sell you gold first. We'll see about steel later on...

[2loaded]

Exercise in restraint.
I can't say no to save my life. On wrist takes on a whole new meaning.

[worldofoyster]

i would've declined too

Genuinely, ADs don’t struggle to shift steel sky-dwellers.

Your title, while somewhat true, is certainly misleading and to call it a troll post is understandable.

The issue is you said “finally got the call” rather than simply “got a call”. Big difference! Finally got the call means you got the call you had been waiting for, which certainly was not the case. So the lighthearted comment of the other member was appropriate and your response comes off, from my perspective, as ill mannered.

[nighthawk77]

Good swerve. Not cool of your AD to make out they’d got ones of the the watches you wanted.

He only meant trolling, in the sense that it was a clickbait title….we expected an incoming story.

Pity. But nice to know they have your number.

[DJH1977]

Good decision. Oysterflex sky dweller is too unbalanced, and my wrist isn't small.

[IFlyPlanes]

Bummer! But nice work not buying something you don't want. I see too many people just happy to get the call that they'll buy anything the AD is trying to offload.

[noshame]

I have no problems with the SA calling the OP offering a different SkyD than what he requested; however, if she did say "well today is your lucky day", I would be a little annoyed after hanging up with her.
