This is about a week late but here goes. Well I’d practically given up on this one. I’d been in waitlists since this baby Basel’d. The day I got the pic of it in its coffin I’d just been given the news I needed to replace my AC unit. That obviously didn’t stop me. I really can’t say enough about this piece- the size, the wrist presence, and the dial is incredible. I love how the dial varies in different lighting. Well here goes....

Big congrats on the Blue SkyD - a truly amazing watch! I am secretly glad I can hide behind the excuse it would look too big on me...otherwise I'd waiting everywhere I could for one.

Enjoy it in the best of health!

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.

Don’t remind me about the AC. I spent $3000 this summer. I have to put off my Rolex purchase do next year:)

Too late already had to fix that. It was 3 days with very little AC. $7k later and its fixed. It has been worth the wait!

Thanks so much! One AD near me has never gotten a SS at all and another has only gotten one white one.
