Thank you.

I hope our OP will be able to share theirs soon. Like the Daytona (which doesn't interest me as an ownership proposition but is so damn good looking), I could look a Sky Dwellers and photos of them all day.

Bit sad really.

Congratulations OP, welcome to TRF!

Seems to me the vast majority of Sky-Dweller owners are happy with theirs, myself included, and I trust so will you. Are we going to see any pictures yet? Because, you know, pictures or...

Cheers
Marc

My thoughts exactly- it wasn’t on my radar until it was. I love the white dial.

I purchased mine while on a work trip in Connecticut. (Lux Bond & Green)

I didn’t buy it onsite but after weeks of thought and research and obsession- I pulled the trigger!

Congratulations. I am a big fan of the Sky-Dweller and own the YG white dial version and the SS blue and white dial versions. I have a bigger wrist and enjoy the size and the easy link clasp. If I could only keep one though it would be the SS white dial. Enjoy.

First, thank you all for the warm welcome to my first post!

So many forums are toxic on the web these days. I've been lurking here for a year and have to say, it's a welcome respite!

Added a picture from when I tried it on last Monday at the AD.

That's a great picture! I can never take a decent picture when I try on a watch, I am too excited, nervous, and shaky!

Congratulations! I too chose the white dial when I picked mine up about a month ago. The white SS is my favorite version and I find myself wearing it as my daily. Congratulations again, wear it in good health!

don't mean to bring up such an old thread but I was reading through old sky dweller posts and came across this. I'm sure you're glad you bought it :)

Realise this is an old post but good story. I’ve been through a few and I own four sky dwellers currently it really is a special watch.

I also make most use of SS white dial.

I missed the OP's picture post, which was rather careless.

I can never look at too many photos of Sky Dwellers.
