Incoming: SS Mint Green Sky-Dweller

Just picked up a SS Mint Green Sky-Dweller on Jubilee from my go to Trusted Seller, DavidSW. The watch is slightly pre-owned but I can not tell and it is super nice. I also own the Blue, Black and White Dial versions so now I have four, all on Jubilee. My wrist is 7.5-7.75, depending on the weather, and the Sky-Dweller fits me well. I also like the jubilee bracelet as I think it goes well with the fluted bezel. I am a fan of shiny watches. I have owned the Sky-Dweller in PM before and liked it but am looking at a YG Sky-Dweller, new model, with the Jubilee bracelet. Might pick one up. But for now I am going to enjoy my new watch.

Beautiful! Congrats. David is always great to work with. Were you able to get a discount on his asking price? His prices always seem to be very high.

Yes. I buy a lot from him and on some pieces he will give me a discount. Nothing crazy but what I consider fair. His customer service is also top notch and he is a straight shooter when it comes to both buying and selling.

Love the photo of all 4. I have the white on oyster but would like a blue on jubilee. I like the green but always wondered if I would like it the same a year or so later.
Enjoy the full set. Very special.

Very nice - Congrats!

I’d love to see your whole collection in one place - I’ve got a new arrival landing tmw which will mean I’ve picked up 5 watches in 17 years. Feels like you might have matched that in 17 days with the new incomings!

As a retiree with a lot of time on my hands and plenty of watches to buy/sell/trade with, I typically have very few constraints when it comes to picking up new watches. While not wealthy, I do have some disposable income to play around with so that helps also. Having been a collector for more than 30 years many watches I own, or have owned, were purchased when prices were not as high as today. So when I sell or trade those watches I can end up with a small windfall above what I paid so plenty of money to buy something else. It is all fun.

Sounds like a very pleasant retirement - enjoy!

Damn homes. You got the market cornered.

I told my AD that I would happily purchase any stainless skydweller, as long as it’s blue!

Very cool- congratulations.

What draws you to the Skydweller? They are beautiful watches- just interested if there is a specific reason for your attraction.

Glad you are enjoying retirement!

I like the complications, size, fit and wear. I also like the fluted bezel and with the jubilee bracelet it is just the right amount of shiny parts.

Congratulations William.

Personally I’d mix it up with an Oyster bracelet but if you love the Jubilee (which is a given here!) option.

Enjoy.
