Incoming-blue Sky Dweller!

I pulled the trigger-consolidated several pieces of my collection into this one superstar! Was considering the black dial for less, but this one really sang to me! Plus, when it’s not in direct light, the dial looks black anyway.

Big shoutout to Steve at Tarrytown Jewelers who was fair, honest, and very helpful!

I don’t mind at all!

The Patek is awesome in terms of elegance in a sports watch. Lots of love for it. But...
The Sky Dweller is so interesting to me with the AC complication plus GMT. I travel through Asia twice a year, so it’s a complication I would actually use. Plus, I feel like I could run it over with a truck, and it would be just fine.

So I can definitely see where you’re coming from. I love em both the same, though!
