ya know what, at least you were willing to point out the blemishes, and say, "yeah I spent $15,000 on it, and it's not perfect, but you know what, I'm okay with that." 99% of reviewers would've just kept it to themselves, and talked about how perfect it was. great review
Lol...flipper forever...I think I remember you drooling over your VC and you dropped that one like a hot potato. 😆 🤣 😂 Hit me up when your ready to flip this one.
I own the blue one but you're spot on. For me I love this reference. The amount of technical innovation, style, durability, useability they squeezed into what is essentially a mass produced mechanical watch is just marvelous. Mine also will never be sold.
Anyone who's read my comments know that I'm an unapologetic Rolex fan . I collect them , I wear most of them , so ya , I'm a fan !!! All I can say is that I get it . The excitement of looking at supreme competence in your craft is exciting as well as rewarding. Absolutely stunning peice bro . Enjoy
Congratulations Bruce! A lovely watch to say the least. The way that Rolex integrated the bezel with the complications is very well executed. Maybe one day it will land on my watch list and some time after maybe end up on my wrist. Enjoy the watch Bruce, it would be a keeper in my collection if I owned one. I wish you and the family a great 2022.
Good commentary, Bruce #BruceWilliams. 😎⌚👍 As you have finally acquired your Skydweller, I became the last person today to acquire a Milgauss ZBlue for this year and before it's new introductory price increments for 2022. Before I left with my new Milgauss, I have seen and tried on the exact Skydweller as yours and I must say that you have made the right decision on purchasing it. Congratulations, Bruce #BruceWilliams 😎⌚👍 Keep churning good contents as always, Bruce #BruceWilliams. Best regards, 😎⌚👍
I think it is a very nice watch indeed. The sky dweller is loved and loathed in equal measure and intensity these days, exactly like the royal oak was back in the 1970s. I think the symmetry of the markers in the same size at all hours, the solutions they found to not have a visually busy dial or extra pushers, the system using the bezel, are very original ideas. It's the kind of product that people take time to understand the value of complexity, the elegance and refinement. As for the macro shots revealing some roughness, well, the retail price would be 25-30k to change that scenario, in my humble opinion. We don't have lupe eyes anyways. Great purchase, wear it in good health.
Wow awesome timepiece Bruce love it . Wear it great health u deserve the best. The crown has always been my favorite brand and will forever be . Hate the hype that people create around the brand but that does not diminished the quality , functionality and practicality of these watch . Again awesome purchases .
Its a perfect travel or business watch for someone who deals with different time zones. I really enjoy the one I have. Sized just right Rolex nails proportions. Good luck, look out it may end up your favorite.
I have a sky dweller , polar dial,i think it the most special timepiece Rolex offers, the 9001 movement most special, my timepiece had no flaws, a perfect example. I❤ it.
Did you find the blemish under a magnifying glass or with the naked eye, my Milgauss seems perfect, but I haven’t looked at it under a magnifying glass
You openly admit to flipping watches on RUclips and your Rolex AD will still sell you a Rolex? That's insane! I show up with cash in hand bringing food and wine to my AD for weeks and I still get laughed out of the store. Starting to get a bitter taste in my mouth over what Rolex is doing to the watch game. I can't get my hands on ANY male sized Rolex watches at retail. Enjoy it Bruce, some of us hurt when we see how beautiful that Sky Dweller is, congratulations.
I sell some of my watches yes, and I am honest with my AD. I don't flip the hard to come by watches that they sell me. Some watch guys scoff at this, but some watches are a privilege to be offered. I'm fortunate that the trust goes both ways for me. Are you in a really massive market? I know some markets are way easier than others. And some watches are impossible to get even for established customers without some waiting (panda daytona, john mayer, etc)
Welcome to the sky-dweller world! I have the 2 tone/opalescent white dial version. A very practical every day watch. You just need to adjust one a year the date from Feb to March and then we switch from daylight time to standard time.😅😅😅
Ordered mine from local AD last September and got it in December. Exactly same as in your video with jubilee bracelet. I wear it daily and it is already showing wear signs. Fine by me! My favorite watch of all time. I will never sell it. My son will have it when I am tits up.
Very nice, i hope you can do some close ups of the clasp when it's open to show the workmanship of it. Thanks for sharing and happy holidays to you too.
Ready for this? My Local AD Was Smash and Grabbed the Rolex Case Last October "All Expedition watches" . But the thieves Missed One Piece. They Literally left the Best for ME! 326934 Blue Sky Dweller AT RETAIL! The Only Draw Back? No Papers which means the 5 Year Warranty is through the Store.
Epic reference. I agree on the significance of this reference it’s truly unique. Little too large for me but you def do have the wrist for it. Enjoy in good health. I like the sales guy wearing the Pepsi! Ha!
The light play with the case finishing and that bezel look fantastic! Also love the anthracite colour dial - so classy. I would be a little annoyed about the dial finishing to be honest. However as it’s probably not visible to the naked eye it’s not such an issue visually but more an irritation when you spend that much money.
Congrats to getting this watch. The showing of the month above the hour markers is simply genious. I like it with the black dial. It's a little to big for my wrist. But nice at yours.
I completely AGREED with you about keeping it for 20 or 30 years, HOWEVER, if you change your mind you know who to email first!! ☝️😁 Thanks for sharing this one Bruce! 👋
It’s mass produced with an insane amount of functionality, durability, and comfort. I’m okay with some blemishes that are only visible at a macro level lol congrats!
Glad you like it and you feel you can endorse everything it represents. To my eyes, that's the exact model to sum up everything I dislike but hey, that's your wrist!
@@BruceWilliams Good seeing you thrilled. We most definitly don't have the same definition of high horology but it's always good to witness the pure joy of somebody getting the watch he loves.
Great piece Bruce, and like you said, buy what you like. Never buy a watch because how hard it is to get, or the value it will in the secondary market. Rolex is made to enjoy and wear the hell out of it and of course taken care of it at the same time. Congratulations on the pick up, happy holidays and happy new year, Jeff.
AWESOME Watch.. big congrats. wear it in good health. i was in love with the Blue dial for years. but recently i find the Black dial much nicer and classier than the Blue. also , i might be wrong. i think i'd get tired of the Blue after a while..
Lovely acquisition Bruce. Love these and the datejusts, but I think the jubilee is the right choice. Great watch and it's nice to have a bit of bling !!! What's next the yachtmaster ?
Would be great if you do a 1 year honest review of the watch. For some reason, I can't find a single video that gives a review after actually wearing the watch for an extended period of time. Did it live up to expectations?
congrats on the watch. I do like it, and as you say, it will not fly under the radar. I think a non fluted bezel would have toned it down, and enabled you to wear it on less dressy straps, like possibly a NATO.
Thanks Bruce. You made TWO uncommon and important general comments is this review! FIRST, “I have the frame” for this watch size. Nobody talks about body size and watch size, only wrist size! I am a big guy with small wrists and struggle with finding the bounds for watch sizes. SECOND, “nobody needs to look at their watch to know the month.” YES! How stupid are complete-calendar watches?!? I was in love with the JLC Master Control Calendar, until I realized how pointless the month display is, and making it feel way overpriced for the lack of real complication. THANK YOU.
Great video Bruce! Out of all the Skydweller configurations, other then steel/blue dial, what do you think is the best Skydweller investment for the long term?
How about the retro styled retro movement new release from Alpina, the Startimer Pilot Heritage Manufacture? Just because it’s different. It has the bumper movement which is a bit funky.
Skydweller is not everyone's cup of taste or tea ,maybe any innovative and intricately complicated watch is like that,though it will always be my favorite😎
I really like the white-dial Sky Dweller but not sure how legible it is in person. It's too big for me; looking to get a white gold DD40 to match the platinum one my wife's brother has which fits me perfectly.
I was lucky enough in 2019 to be chosen to get the blue dial Skydweller, then on the oyster bracelet. Several months before getting it, I had asked for the black dial but while waiting I acquired a few more watches and almost all with black dials. So I asked to switch my preference to the blue. I absolutely love my blue dial SD but have never seen the black dial. Also, seeing the SD on a jubilee still looks a little strange to me since I'm so used to mine. Did you ask for the jubilee, or was that just how it was when it arrived? Happy New Year to you and your family as well as all of your followers.
@@BruceWilliams Will you have to 'trade-in' your jubilee when you get the oyster? Years ago I had a Sub with the older clasp and wanted to upgrade to the newer. I was told I'd have to give them the old one and pay full price for the new.
Great watch for a great family guy an respectable collector. Enjoy the watch and pass the watch down to the family. Will the Bruce W Tudor panda chono fill the itch or a hunt for the Daytona only work for you. Stay healthy and safe to you and family. Happy New Year to all.
The Sky Dweller is a great watch, for every situation. Probably more so than any other Rolex. The complications are great. But my AD told me that you can't swap the bracelets around. So you may want to get it confirmed about buying the Oyster bracelet - I would get this in writing etc. As my AD said it cannot be done. I wanted to buy the Jubilee bracelet when it came out for the SkyDweller, and it was NO.

@@BruceWilliams And I really appreciate your honesty.....thank you
Lol...flipper forever...I think I remember you drooling over your VC and you dropped that one like a hot potato. 😆 🤣 😂 Hit me up when your ready to flip this one.
Lol never
Congrats Bruce! Great addition. Please consider me when time to move on from it 🙏🙂
@@DocBaps NEVER
@@BruceWilliams Never say never! Hit me up too if u are ready to sell!
You guys are hilarious. NO MEANS NO
I own the blue one but you're spot on. For me I love this reference. The amount of technical innovation, style, durability, useability they squeezed into what is essentially a mass produced mechanical watch is just marvelous. Mine also will never be sold.
Ditto
It's incredible. No words. I'll leave it at that.
fluted bezels belong on a jubilee. Great choice Bruce.
100
Fantastic watch, probably my favorite Rolex after the Daytona.
I do very much enjoy the Daytona as well. Especially the full gold on oysterflex
@@BruceWilliams that gold on oysterflex is sexy as can be.
I think the skydweller is better than the Daytona. The Daytona exists in lots of other forms perhaps most obviously the Zenith El Primero range.
Amazing watch...could be my next watch though I don't know how long is a waiting list🤔

Easily. Sold the overseas last year

Went by OC Tanner today. Gorgeous store, nice folks. They said the wait would be years. LOL
Congrats on the purchase Bruce! That intro was amazing, loved the logo transition :)
You know, I've never paid much attention to the sky dweller but seeing your footage it looks phenomenal
Enjoy!
same here, i had gone from the 41mm sub, to the batman and now to this £££££
Very nice, i hope you can do some close ups of the clasp when it's open to show the workmanship of it. Thanks for sharing and happy holidays to you too.
Rolex makes lovely clasps! This one has the easylink in it. But essentially the same as you would find on a milgauss
Congrats Bruce! Hope mine is going to arrive very soon... For me with the blue dial.
I'm so excited for you!
@@BruceWilliams Finally got my blue Sky-Dweller last saturday after long time waiting!
Fantastic watch, my favorite Rolex short after the Day Date.
Congrats my man!!! Spectacular watch!!! I know you will wear with a smile 👍🎉
Congrats! The blue dial is very much a dream piece of mine. Wear and enjoy it but please do be careful of prying eyes whilst out and about.
Hi Bruce. Still wearing this timepiece?
I have been on the waiting list for a very long time and am eager to get the same one.
Great video! May I ask what is the size of your wrist? I have a 7 1/2 inch wrist and would like to know if it would look ok and not too small
Soo a year later....did you keep it?
Wow Bruce, that is just one gorgeous piece, congratulations! Can you please share why Rolex does not use anti-reflective on the sapphire? Thank you😊
Bruce, congratulations and wear it in the very best of health!
I love it! Congrats, Bruce!
Thank you Bruce. Keep up the good work!!
I’m so happy for you Bruce.. wear it in good health!
Thank you!
Congratulations Bruce. Great choice.
For me Better gold flutes with a jubilee gold bracelet. But white gold is nice too 🎉❤
By far my favorite Rolex! Congratulations!

What's the over/under for Bruce flipping this watch within 2 months? When does the betting window close?!
Make that bet if you want to loose some cash lol
Admire the beauty, yeah I know what you mean. I catch myself doing that sometimes.
I completely AGREED with you about keeping it for 20 or 30 years, HOWEVER, if you change your mind you know who to email first!! ☝️😁 Thanks for sharing this one Bruce! 👋
It’s mass produced with an insane amount of functionality, durability, and comfort. I’m okay with some blemishes that are only visible at a macro level lol congrats!
Beautiful piece! Congrats!
This one is a keeper. I know you don't have keepers, but this one is.
I have a few. But not many 😎
Amazing piece! Enjoy!!
This isn’t a sports piece though. This is part of the datejust family, so it’s a classic piece
It is part of the classic line. But I'm using sports in the way the WIS community does, not exclusive to only the professional line
Fits perfect on your wrist
What's the usual waitlist for the white and black dial?
How much would it cost to get the stainless jubilee bracelet? Mine has the oyster but I like the idea of having both bands.
4 days to 23:59 December 31st, the exact moment you should be wearing it.
Congrats Bruce it’s beautiful and really cool.
Glad you like it and you feel you can endorse everything it represents.
To my eyes, that's the exact model to sum up everything I dislike but hey, that's your wrist!
Heck yeah it's perfect. High horology at a low price. Robust enough to wear anywhere. Beautiful. I can't think of a knock against the watch
@@BruceWilliams Good seeing you thrilled. We most definitly don't have the same definition of high horology but it's always good to witness the pure joy of somebody getting the watch he loves.
@@marvinberwart appreciate it Marvin!
@@marvinberwart To me this isn’t high horology, but what a complication and ingenious design by Rolex with the monthly complication

Beautiful and the top Rolex in my opinion!
Beautiful! Great pick up. Congratulations 🙌🔥👌
