Thanks
For the kind words. It was nice trying it on. The white looks very cool. Silver almost. I am sure with all the responses one of "us" are getting it! Pictures please when it comes!

Let’s hope whoever picked up doesn’t try “flip it” for a profit and truly wants the watch.

Why not me purchase and flip
My reasoning is:
I pay $14,400 (Get back 1% on CC $140.00) The sales tax 8.75% $1,155.00 So I am out of pocket $15,015.00 (Includes my CC cash back) Being a non Trusted seller I have to find someone to wire me, a stranger, say $17,500. Now I have to pay shipping and insurance of $300.00 or so. Now I net $2,185.00. But if I have to discount the sale to $17,000 then I net only $1,685.00. I have a good job and figure it is kind of a risk to go through all that trouble just to make a buck. I also hope whoever gets it enjoys it. Now if it was the high demand blue Skydweller, well I would probably be looking at it at home now! lol |

Yep. This was a good deed and a good pass. The white ones seem to be sitting and not fetching near the money the blue has. As a matter of a fact the white would be my last choice. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

Yes, look at Watchrecon and Chrono24, and many white dial Sky Ds are selling for mid-high $16k. The prices for the white have really come down. The blue is still astronomically high at $19k+.

True that about the blue. Though must admit it's been my daily beater for months and the blue dial really is incredible in various lighting.

I wish more TRFers would do this. It seems that many on this forum want to buy to own, and not to flip—although I acknowledge the temptation. After all, if you don’t want a SS Daytona but we’re offered one at MSRP, wouldn’t you absolutely flip it?

I can tell you from trying it on that is a spectacular dial in white. It kind of shines a bit silver. If you like a white dial this one will not disappoint. |

Curious which AD has it? I tried on the TT white dial but not a fan of Tt.

Fair, but if it helps I just picked up my white dial. It’s absolutely fantastic in person. I think most people are only judging the pics but in real life, it’s not a flat white, it’s got a metallic hue. It contrasts a bit with the gmt dial too.

I changed my preference to white. I always wanted a white dial and the explore II does not do it for me. I have a sub and blnr and once I pick Sky D I'm done.
