Completely surprised!
Went by the AD yesterday as my wife wanted to get a new bracelet. I’ve received two other watches from them, Panda and Rootbeer, and have respectfully declined a few others in the past. Prior to walking in, my wife asked me what I was going to tell them I was interested in if they were to ask? I stated I didn’t want to bring up watches today. The SA (also the manager) already knows what I’m after. We were there about an hour, and as we were wrapping things up, the SA asks my wife what watches she would be interested in. My wife’s response was “I’d rather he get one of the watches he’s looking for”. The SA raddles off the two watches, and I stated I really love that blue Sky Dweller on jubilee. The SA then proceeded to say “what if I told you I had one in the back”, and the rest was history. Completely shocked and was at a loss for words!

Historically I haven’t been a Sky-Dweller fan but I can’t deny that is lovely.
Congratulations! |

That's an awesome story! Congrats on the blue Sky Dweller! Sometimes it's those unexpected moments that make the experience even better. Your wife’s timing and response were spot on. Wear it in good health!

aaah the infamous "Have one in the back". That's when the wallet starts to run.
Congrats, great reference. Pictures do not do this watch justice. |

The Sky-Dweller, in any version, is a pretty darn cool watch. I love the heft and presence of it. Enjoy it!
