Excellent lume shot.

Congratulations on such a stunning watch.

The case is perfect imo-- Nice short lugs. I think it's a good fit for most wrists, even if you don't wear large pieces.

I did find that the bracelet is a bit smaller (shorter?) on this one, though. 9/10 times a client needs at least a link taken out but this one fit out of the box with a micro adjustment.

Thanks,

Interestingly enough, I have the DJ back on the wrist today.

Truly, anything that comes in now, is just a supplement to that.

The SS SkyD is awesome. But it will be a special occasion watch.

Beautiful Sky Dweller...Congratulations on one of the first Seth. How do you find the legibility of the skeleton hands on the black dial so far? I'm awaiting arrival of a white dial which appears to have the best legibility of the 3 dial options in photos. Need this for my aging eyes:-( I'm open to opinions on this subject.

Congratulations on the new SkyD in black!!! It's a beauty. I hope mine will get here before too long. I'll add this thread to the Rolesor SkyD thread I've got. I believe yours is number six!!! BTW, if you have a chance can you weight it and let us know how much it weighs?

Congrats! I'm waiting on a black dial myself.

Can you comment on the finish of the black dial? I thought it was supposed to be a sunburst effect, similar to the blue dial, but in your pictures, it looks relatively flat as in a matte finish.
