Blue Skydweller on jubilee is a great package.

Huge congratulations.
Blue sky-dweller is the best reference available in my opinion

How is that possible? Doesn’t that violate Rolex rules for ADs? Harry, that blue dial is my absolute favorite of this model. Beautiful! Congrats!

Unbelievably fake. Also not the thread for this.

They don't tend to change buying habits.

I’m familiar with the Sky Dweller and have big love for it but I’m still stunned by the beauty of this blue/Jubilee variant.
Congrats on the great pickup. That blue dial/Jubilee is the best look on that model, in my opinion.

As for availability it's certainly better than it was, but also highly location dependent. My AD is not in a big city but still has an extremely strong customer base and the local economy continues to be excellent. Nothing for sale in the cases and while they'll get me just about anything I request the wait time will vary.

Wealthy people aren't immune to inflation. They tend to have big expenses and also can sometimes be a bit cash poor, with assets that they either don't want to part with or aren't very liquid. It's why rich people still borrow money rather than paying cash for everything. Those factors play in to them occasionally saying NO when the call comes.

Congrats and a great watch. and its awesome that you only had to wait for like 6 months. At somepoint this was as hard to get as a daytona per my understanding.

Awesome incoming! Huge congrats and I have to agree, I think the AD has found your interest genuine and felt you deserved it. Sounds like they got it right!
