A lovely day out shopping to buy a new Rolex
Rather unexpected purchase but the Skydweller really grew on me.
The command 3 position bezel function is really cool, well done Rolex.
The watch has wrist presence but it ain’t bulky at all.

I have never had one on the wrist....
......but a lot of people who's opinion i really respect tell me that the watch is fantastic.
Congratulations Maltie....wear it in the best of health

Really is fantastic...
The blue dial has so much personality, the movement complications extremely useful AND simple to set, plus it feels very balanced on the wrist. Been a daily beater for months and, well, so far my fave after a few decades of wearing quite a few other daily beaters (from Swatch to Pateks). The SkyD SS blue is something i foresee being a long-term keeper, not one of those typical 'this year's fave watch show hot product'. JMHO YMMV
A watch with a lot of charm. Congratulations Maltie. Enjoy and wear it in the best of your health
Best wishes

Congratulations on this one, winner for last year...
May I ask if this is available walk in or it’s one of your connections with AD?
My AD who got me the ceramic white Daytona has none and said this one is as hard to get as the Daytona.
Volker got it because of his good relationship with his AD.
Another member Ianmar2112 was also lucky walking into a Geneva AD to buy the black dial.
The message seems mixed...I’m waiting for it as well but maybe a trip to Europe plus VAT savings is better?

Hi Raymond, it’s also still difficult to get a blue dial SD over here.
I have several friends who are very good customers of my AD too and who are still waiting. If I understood correctly, Ian didn’t buy at a Rolex AD but at an aftermarket dealer. I cannot imagine that the situation in Switzerland is any different from here.
Thanks for the info, Volker.
I guess it’s just Rolex allocation and supply/demand thing again.
No worries, many of us here can wait, not like we are short of watches to wear 🤣

Waiting time
I bought from AD, no premium, in fact a store credit discount. First one received. Regulars get first calls on high demand pieces like the SD 50, and the Daytona
NIce catch, Maltie. The blue sunburst dial is really great.
Mechanically, the watch works perfect too. Best, Volker
I too am very interested in this Skydweller Maltie. Great acquisition. How have you taken to the bezel design? [nt]

Thanks guys
I booked the watch right after Baselworld, but was not the first on the list. I was at the time not even sure I wanted it. According to my AD they get one randomly every 6 to 8 weeks and waiting list is now more then 3 years. The operation with the Bezel command is really great and the watch wears very comfortable. I’m extremely happy, only my wife considers it an “Uncle” watch 😂
Great to hear you managed to get your hands on one. A very cool Rolex [nt]

Nice Catch 👌🏻
Huge Congrats . I am not a huge rolex fan but this model is very nice indeed
Congrats, and the SS SkyD makes...
...a great daily beater. Wonderful wrist balance, glorious dial, and great set of complications.
Wear it daily.
How easy is it to read the time ? On the blue
I’ve been reading elsewhere that the white dial is the easiest to read the blue dial and the black are a bit tougher needing a longer glance ? What do you think ?
