Have a fantastic history with an AD and decided to venture out of my sport collection finally and get something that was a bit dressier, but more unique than a datejust. Decided on getting a skydweller in blue on an oyster bracelet.

Fast forward 3 months and my AD calls out of nowhere saying the Skydweller is in… woah. I thought for sure it was one of the other watches on order and it completely caught me off guard as he said they only get 1-2 blue a year. I was expecting a year or so wait. I’ve been waiting for a ladies datejust for 6 months so none of this was registering for me as reality, so when he told me it was on jubilee rather than oyster i’m not even sure I heard it to be honest.

I paid over the phone and he shipped to me that day and it arrived the next morning. When I opened it up I saw that it was jubilee. Then it hit me that he told me and in my daze of confusion and excitement I completely disregarded that information. Oh well!

I’m sure oyster is what most people like, but I have to say that this watch on a jubilee band just works… in person. The photos online and even on Rolex website don’t do it justice. It is much more balanced, and looks to me, even more of a natural fit than on a dj41. The geometry just works. The fluted bezel and jubilee really blend well together and it helps with creating a nice form fit even with the additional case weight on top. It does have more of a “bling” factor but it’s a nice departure from most of my sport models so I am completely smitten. And the blue dial… yeah, it’s as good as advertised.

Congratulations, OP. Did you actually have to sell your shoes to help pay for the watch? Or, are you just hoping for a date with a foot fetisher.

Hey, as long as other watches are getting crossed of the list it makes the wait a lot more bearable!
