Pretty cool piece!

Speed · 11 December 2012, 06:42 AM

Yes. In all seriousness Sam...wear it in great health!

So no box, eh?

jlc123 · 11 December 2012, 06:43 AM

How many TRF members can even join this club

? Great pictures of a great watch anyways

.

Sub4Life · 11 December 2012, 06:44 AM

Congrats!! This is out of my league. I'm just a commoner with a Sub as my only watch.

Hairdude1 · 11 December 2012, 06:45 AM

Ramiks · 11 December 2012, 06:47 AM

Evil bendy · 11 December 2012, 07:03 AM

Thanks Sam for the thread here is mine!

TheVTCGuy · 11 December 2012, 07:05 AM

Congrats Sam!

I can't even imagine what it would be like to own one of those beautys.... Well, some day....

P.S. Would you consider adopting me Sam?

I'm already potty trained.... (well, most of the time anyway... )

I couldn't wait to see the unveil at Basel 2012! From the Basel unveil we all came to realize that the Sky-Dweller has a bitter sweet design that you either hate or love! Aesthetics aside collectors must draw conclusions that the first Rolex annual calander from our beloved company is one to be reckoned with! I am definitely intrigued to see what the company has in store for us in the future... Could this be a segway into creating a perpetual calander? Minute Repeater (most likely not)? Only one can dream and ponder

I aquired both the WG and RG versions....

At the end of the day reference 326135 was the one that made me scream and say... THIS IS IT!

My local time has been set to NY and reference time to Cairo, Egypt

I am inclined to say that as more folks see the piece in person they too will enjoy what Rolex has done in taking steps to enter the realm of Patek and Vacheron.

Sam the general reaction to this watch to which you allude did not deter me one bit - if anything history teaches us that the least popular rolexes of the day go on to become the most sought after and appreciated ...

Kingair · 11 December 2012, 08:02 AM

I think I have fall in love again . . . .

Amazing watch

Congrats gents !

Totally agree EB as further evidenced in the below references

I am not advocating that the SD is a timeless design, however, marveling at the simple fact it is a ROLEX Annual calendar!

Listen to what my buddy Eric Ku had to say (posted elsewhere)...

spuds · 11 December 2012, 08:43 AM

HUGE congrat's Sam & if I were in the same position I certainly woulda gone withthe RG too!

Great call mate & congrat's again.....

Nads · 11 December 2012, 08:45 AM

Congrats buddy

When I grow up I want a SD.......

lebowski321 · 11 December 2012, 10:12 AM

Very very nice, Sam! I really the WG version.

Big congrats to you!

Gaijin · 11 December 2012, 10:29 AM

Sam. Pure awesomeness that could not happen to a nicer guy. Two thumbs way up!

Gaijin · 11 December 2012, 10:30 AM

Anybody think that they will ever make this in Platinum?

yessir69 · 11 December 2012, 10:44 AM

I think it would be in their best interests to do so, but with the WG model out now it will be a few years I think.

My dream watch would be a PT Sub Ceramic. It would be the ultimate tool watch due to PT being very corrosion resistant; moreso than stainless.

Factory fresh from Geneva to my AD then to my wrist

---------------------------------------------

Gents please let me clarify, I had to acquire both the WG and RG versions in order to complete my deal with my AD, however, after sitting and pondering which one to keep, went with the Rose version. I moved the WG to a friend/collector and fellow TRF member who rarely post ;-)

Yeah, baby! That RG looks stunning with your skin tone. Beautiful is an understatement.

withthesword · 11 December 2012, 11:14 AM

you bought BOTH?!

that RG version is very very drool worthy. i wish i could afford one O_o

Solo118 · 11 December 2012, 11:31 AM

RG for me! It sure is lovely

piper · 11 December 2012, 11:34 AM

I will play along too. Here is mine - also went with RG and can't take it off! My pictures are not as good as Sam's and Bendy's, but the watch looks good.

Here are my favorite three -

And a comparison -
