Unobtainium obtained/ Blue Sky-dweller

It took about a year. Well worth the wait I think. Nothing beats blue on this reference in my opinion. As some of you might know I’m not a big fan of blue on all Rolex references however it fits nicely on this one. Setting it is definitely fun. Great complication.

Love it! The SkyD is one of the coolest pieces out there. And the blue dial really pops. Enjoy!

Huge congrats. It's a stunning watch. The dial is gorgeous with what looks like a small amount of 'slate gray' mixed in. It's a beautiful, unique blue for sure and an all-around fantastic watch! Hope it brings you much enjoyment.

Thanks everyone. It’s stunning to look at. It’s also really fun to set.


My wrist size is 6.5”. I was concerned it might be too big but I think it’s just fine. A little bigger it would be too much but I can handle it the way it is.
