#TheLovedSkyDweller
Bored out of my mind in quarantine, and not sure if anyone is familiar with SpanishRob on Instagram, but he wears a 5711 (tiffany?) pretty regularly and it is beat to sh*t , but I think it looks awesome.
This is my own version, not for the faint of heart, of just over 2 years of daily wear. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Will have a full polish done at the 5 year service, including new crystal (this one is cracked @ 10PM) ![]() |

Nothing that a light polish won’t fix, the lugs are in good shape.
The biggie is the crystal, and even that shouldn’t be too expensive to replace. First I didn’t find the crack but when I realized that I had been ltrying to find it at 10 A.M I took a look at 10 P.M. and there it was ! ![]() ![]()

How do they refurbish the bezel or can't they? Do you have to buy a new gold bezel if you want it like new?

Looks well loved! The first picture doesn’t look too bad. That is what most people will see at a distance. It is only at a close up that all the imperfections show up.
Thanks for sharing. |

I think it looks great. I wear my Daytona almost every day and it has similar “character” on the bracelet, bezel, etc. I like this and some of the other recent posts that focus on members’ love for the watches they own/want rather than the watch as an investment. To each their own, but I prefer the watch geek aspect not the savvy investor vibe.

I think it’s lovely. I grew up knowing a Rolex as something that rarely left the wrist of its owner. It looks authentic and like anything but a luxury bauble. Plus- I see no way to frame your use as abuse.
It’s so compelling to see a watch like this. Many thanks ![]() |

It is very nice to see a photo of a watch that has been/is being used for its intended purpose rather than the annoying, whiny "Oh my watch is getting scratched; it must be polished immediately" nonsense that so many b***ch about.
![]() My Sky Dweller from October 2019 is on its way to garnering its own "history" like yours. A tip of the hat to you, my friend. ![]() ![]()

I actually really like it when watches get beat up and look "worn" (part of the reason why I prefer metal bezels on dive watches), this is probably one of my favourite Sky-Dwellers ever due to the amount of wear. Thanks for sharing!
e: scratches on the sapphire even. wowzers! |
