Thanks. No none of these are from the AD. All grey dealer. Where’s Patrick? I have a girl that I’m connected with at my local AD.

Yes I’m very blessed. It is a beautiful piece and very happy with my collection right now. Yeah the BLRO gets most of the wrist time. Love that watch.

Yeah and I’ve been wearing it more to work. I own my own business and generally wear business professional / suit so it does go nicely with my work attire.

Exactly. Can’t wait to snap all four in my case together.

I think I would keep it and save.

You still love the SkyD and admire it, plus it’s your first. I feel like if you were to pry from it you would probably miss it and kick yourself later. I would save and buy the Daytona later if you can.

If that’s not really viable however then part with it. You should be able to get what you like without a possession with a pretty solid monetary value burdening you into not getting what you really desire.

For what it's worth I think the BLRO on jubilee is the best daily watch. And the sky dweller on jubilee is very impressive. The rose gold daytona and the ym40... definitely nice watches but now you are going to get into a rotation - feel the need to wear all 4. I would have probably just kept those 2 and been done.

I think if you try it on, you will likely know if it CAN work for you. If so, buy it. Keep the SD and think about them both and if you must offload one, they decide which one. Selling a watch ahead of time to fund half the price of another might not work out in the end.

If you can swing it, keep both.

By Patrick, I believe he is referring to OC Watch Guy.

He’s a trusted seller here and I believe he has a brick and mortar location in the Newport Beach area. At least he did at one point.

Thanks for your feedback. Can totally understand your point of view. As mentioned, it comes to that the option to sell is always there. For now I’m going to try and keep this rotation going.

Yup. Keeping all four. Pick the other two up on Saturday. That’s exactly my plan.

Someone commented to buy the one you want if you can swing it. I would make a comparison, and if you still feel strongly about it sell the SD.

You can't go wrong with either of them, getting the Daytona will be a big plus, if you can save up for it then better, don't let go of the SkyD.

Congrats! Wear it in good health.

Great decision on keeping the blue SD, what an amazing watch. The Daytona is such a great watch. I like your variety of jubilee, oyster flex, and oyster steel. In the future, if you really wanted to change it up, get a separate oyster steel bracelet (either for the GMT or SD).
