I did get offered the white dial SS version twice (I think it was the same watch) but declined. I really wanted the blue and the white wears even larger than the blue. 42mm in a with a darker dial is probably as large a watch as I can sport.

Got it - in my opinion the blue with jubilee is the best combo. Fantastic pickup and jealous my AD does not celebrate with a bourbon! They have great taste, Basil Hayden’s is a solid bourbon.

Congrats on the SkyD and MOST importantly having the patience to wait. Good grief idk if I have the same ability to wait that long but I know it’s well worth it if you can.

Well done brother

I have 2 SkyD’s and it’s by far my favorite reference in the entire Rolex catalog

That's awesome! Congratulations!

I am really impressed with the AD offering you a bourbon, must be a pretty cool AD.

Enjoy the watch!

If I was an AD I’d keep a bottle of Blantons or Van Winkle 10 year around for delivery days!
