$23,000?! Why Did I Buy This Rolex Sky-Dweller?! 😱

- Just added this blue dial Rolex Sky-Dweller to my watch collection. Guess what I paid?! 😱
--------------
Alright, so I just got my got my new stainless steel Sky-Dweller with blue dial, but guess where I didn't get it from? Obviously, not from the authorized dealer and we already know why.
It's no secret. It's probably one of the hardest pieces to get right now from them. You know, unless you're going for a Rainbow Daytona, which is almost impossible, but I'm gonna go ahead and say that the stainless steel, blue dial Sky-Dweller is probably harder to get right now than a Daytona white dial. I mean, you ask anybody that has the “plug” at the retailers and they're gonna say that their connection inside says, “You can't get the blue dial.”
Listen, I sat around and waited for a long time. Initially, when this watch was released, I remember when I saw the steel Sky-Dwellers, I thought to myself, “Man, I can't wait to be able to get one under $10,000 to be able to wear it daily.
But clearly that has not happened. It hasn't been the case. They've been strong over retail and they've just been unattainable. The only one that's been a little bit weaker is the white dial, but I don't know. It doesn't really do it for me, but now I have finally taken a dive into the deep end.
Took a little time to convince me because even though I'm a re-seller and I resell, it still kind of hurts to buy something for yourself and pay the premium price, so you sit there and hope that magically this deal is gonna magically come by, but it doesn't really happen.
So look, I got a decent deal. I bought it at a price that pretty much, maybe I'll lose a little bit. Maybe I'll make the minimum, but the idea was I just had to have it and I couldn't wait anymore because sitting around and hoping to get one for these unrealistic prices of $15,000, $17,000, $18,000 is just not gonna happen. The demand is so high right now in the blue that it's simply stunning.
So I actually just picked it up right now and I'm super excited. I mean, I got it at a good deal, super clean, box, papers, the whole nine. I'm one of those that when I buy a watch, I have to immediately wear it, like I don't know how people can stand or actually hold off that long and buy the watch and take it in the bag in the box. I can't do that! It's gotta go on my wrist and perhaps maybe the watch that I brought is going in the box. I'm that type of guy.
But back to the blue. Yes, the blue is easily five thousand dollars more than the black and look, the black is nice. I like it. It doesn't bother me one bit. I think it's a good looking piece. However, it just doesn't strike as much as the blue. The blue has that color that just pops and they know what they're doing with this, you know?
They know what they're doing when they're coming out with the blue and restricting the market. If they would have been a dime a dozen, then obviously it wouldn't be that special because you would see so many people with it on.
So that being said, I'm gonna go ahead and confess that six months ago, I would have probably have never bought this watch, but it's been wearing down on me. Every time that I see one I say, “Man, it's a good looking watch!” You know?
I hate the fact that it almost costs what a white gold Sky-Dweller can cost nowadays. You could probably buy one right now, white gold Sky-Dweller, could cost you low $30's, even $30. I mean, if you catch somebody that's desperate, maybe even high $20's. But, it's crazy though. Same thing as the Daytona, where the Daytona Ceramic is almost costing what you can get a white gold one for. You know, definitely there's more value in the white gold, but the ceramic Daytona is the way to go. It just looks cooler and this blue dial, I mean at least for right now the romance is still fresh.
So I love the watch and I'm happy to finally have it.

As a salesman in a Rolex AD, I can confirm that this blue Sky-Dweller is more rare than a steel Daytona
Sackda How about the 126603 are they sold alot? Thank you very much for your information✌🏽
@@Mthusiast4life in my store, i received maybe 3 in 2019. As a new model, the value is high right now but in the future, we don't know you. Only stainless steel model will always keep a high value, but you already know that
sackda, as a salesman at a Rolex AD, how in the world are you making commission with nothing to sell? serious question that i cant wrap my head around as i'm in sales too and if you got nothing to sell, you got nothing to earn.
TheVinceb100 you do realise that all steel professionals models are excluded from commission right ?
TheVinceb100 Because they only need to sell Datejusts
Finally got one today. Never seen one in person before today and my jaw dropped as soon as I saw it in person today.
Jordan wearing one at Kobe's Memorial shouldn't hurt the value.
Yep I noticed that too.
Does something like that seriously affect value in the rolex market?
DutchClawz no most people that have Rolex don’t care about what Jordan has, maybe others but not Jordan
guess what Yeah im really suprised by people making such a big deal out of this
guess what cut the bullshit. You don’t even have a Rolex. And you don’t want one because Sean Connery wore one. Little lamb
I waited a couple of years to get my blue SD. I absolutely love it and it came in time for Christmas. The only reason I got a shot at buying it, is because I have built a 10’year relationship with my AD and have purchased over 30 pieces to include a few really high end ones such as a Patek 5990. I absolutely love the SD and the blue really sets it off.
Patel 5990 is a lovely piece.
I would take a sky dweller over a Daytona anyday
God protect us !! If even the dealers are paying over retail prices for these pieces. 🤦🏻♂️😁
LOL, temptation is a bitch.
Nothing new!
@Billy Backwoods your name should be Billy Backwards... cause you exactly the dumb idiot these people target with their marketing... hook line and sinker 🤣🤣🤣... "a fool and his money are soon parted"
@@jasonh289 I Agree !! 😂
Lol he said maybe I lose a bit. Corona is here maybe he loses 50%
Congrats Eric! Definitely a stunning piece! I have yet to see one myself in person. Enjoy life and get the things that you can enjoy life with! What you said in your video makes 100% sense. I agree, and I would do the same if I was in the position to do so. Enjoy that beautiful Sky-D!
Sky dweller is the most beautiful stunning piece,definitely on top the Daytona for sure💪💪💪
I own both the white Daytona and the blue Sky-Dweller...and both direct from an AD. I could get 3 white Daytonas in the span of one blue Sky-Dweller. I even have the black dial Daytona and the yellow gold emerald green dial...which is arguably harder to get than the blue Sky-Dweller right now. I got lucky on that one. The blue Sky-Dweller is definitely harder to get than the white Daytona right now. I got the first one that hit my AD but it took just over 6 months for them to get one after I asked and it was months before that that they saw the last one. All of my Daytonas came in relatively quickly.
This is definitely one of Rolex’s HEAVY hitters ❤️❤️❤️
The Blue is beautiful but is overhyped. black is classier and dressier.
That Speedster!!! Miami is so sick!
Thomas Williams YESSSSS
I just bought this wonderful beautiful blue Skydweller from an AD, but have to admit I was very lucky. I just happened to walk into a dealer in Asia, and they had a black and a blue in their show case. It took me approximately half a second to buy the blue one (although the black was a handsome specimen as well). You're right it is special and different. And I agree, the blue on blue, is what truly sets this beauty aside from the rest of the Rolexes. I say: Keep it!
Cosmic Citizen i wonder where you got it from
Sheeple
I managed to buy mine at retail in 2018. I think you should definitely keep it regardless of what you paid for it, it’s a stunning watch and it’s rare.
😱😱
Had the opportunity to buy this at the AD but turned it down!! Brought a gmt instead.
Questioning my decision now🤔
Noooo
Woowww...you went fishing and threw the big one back in the pond!!!
Love this one ! really creative , unique piece of art . Rolex did bring the fresh air to the band itself
Hey Eric I saw in your other video that you sold it. What was the reason? Did you get bored of it that quickly?
Saw one today in the flesh for £19995 looks stunning 😊 is it a good investment today😳? Will it go cheaper? Should I wait to see if the price drops more 😳? Or pull the button and buy
I feel your pain. Been wanting a blue Stainless SD since it was released. I have connections too and tried to get a deal. Schemings and conniving, calling in favors, begging for over two years. No dice. Finally bit the bullet and paid the dam premium. Prices have slipped a little as of late but no one is giving these things away. You can get a unworn fullset blue dial SD for 20.5k if you really look hard and have cash. Nice watch you should really think about keeping it. This Rolex will be one that attains cult status and astronomical future prices
Sky-Dwellers are special! And that blue...hardly anybody does it better!
A beautiful piece and a definite keeper! How can you get tired of that blue..💙
Eric you are the best! You could rent the watch to some trustworthy clients or friends of yours after a while...make good money and when you are totally bored with it sell it. This way you will have massive profit. For example : I come to you and say, look I love the watch but maybe I buy and after a few days I'll be bored so I rent it from you for 3000 dollars for 4 days or 5 you decide. After that period I will know if I really want it or not.
I had one with blue dial. The fluted bezel is mesmerizing when light hits it.
You never go wrong buying it just because you like it! That blue is gorgeous
Thank you Scott!
I have been fortunate enough to get one and I love it. I even wear it to sleep
Lovely watch, it suits you. I really wanted one a year ago but when I tried it on I realized how big and chunky it is. My wrist isn't big enough. I bought an Omega Globemaster blue dial in steel instead for a fraction of the price and loving it as you also don't see many around. Great video by the way.
Just got my own blue sky dweller, love it, love it,love it. Was shopping for a day date, but when I saw the blue sky dweller, knew I had to have it.
Beautiful watch. I believe it’s extremely overvalued but it is a beautiful watch. I’ve always liked the Sky-Dwellers in particular the rose gold version. The problem is that you could get a rose gold Royal Oak for the same price which I feel is the better watch.
But I would definitely consider a black or blue steel SkyD if and when the price comes down to a more reasonable 15-16.
If I were to spend 22-23k on a steel Rolex it would have to be the white ceramic Daytona since I believe this is the one that will do better in the long run. The steel Daytonas have always been limited and while the steel SkyDwellers are heavily limited today that may not always be the case.
Congratulations. It’s a beautiful piece. Enjoy it. Stunner!!
The best looking Sky Dweller. I love it! The blue dial is gorgeous.
Rose gold with rhodium dial is the best looking on an oyster strap... but it is a stunning watch!
Beautiful Rolex
Thank you Christopher
your welcome and good luck .. hopeing to add another Rolex to my collection this year ;)
CRM Jewelers did they make you take off the stickers?
Been on the list for it, delivery 2 to 3yrs given that deliveries of the blue do not increase, was offered the white and black one within 3 to 6 months, but that's in Europe
Also being told by the AD that they simply get more SS Daytonas per delivery than SkyD in general, so much for demand and supply
Look bro at the end of the day even as a watch seller like you, at one point you have to buy what you like and forget about how much premium you are paying or what will happen in the future 🤟🏽 congrats
Nice watch Eric! You made the right choice to buy it! Do some reviews on other watch brands like Blancpain, Urwerk, Omega, HYT, MB&F, or Konstantin Chaykin please. A few examples. I am curious what is your take on them. Cheers!
That’s a beautiful piece! Since you mentioned it’s not your “grail” let me ask you Eric, what is your “grail” piece??
My AD offered me to choose between the gmt pepsi and the sky dweller blue dial. Which one should I choose? I love them both.
Can't help you out there man because I love both as well!
Paying over retail for Rolex Sports watches gives me sleepless nights but there is something about this I really like. Eric is a very cool cat and I enjoy all his videos. I like he bought a watch he loves purely for enjoyment and not for economic reasons. I hope you get a buzz every time you look at your Skydweller for the time.
True complication, beautiful watch, 72 hour reserve and bullet proof Rolex reliability. Great choice Eric.👍
Na Na Too heavy and chunky sorry not for me but the blue version does look good....
Great job showing the blue dial in your vid, Eric! Got a call.from my AD mon for the blue. Grabbed it tues even though I already had the black. Long story short the black is going off to a new home, no flip here even though i understand it's tempting. The pops alot more
2021: blue you can find everywhere in Germany for 24000€ - conditions like new
I love the look of the watch but out of my league-picked up a DJ41 blue dial instead! Subscribed 😎
Looking for one right now too! How much did you pay if I may ask? White gold bezel? Jubilee or oyster?
Julii blue dial,stick indices,fluted bezel,jubilee bracelet. I picked it up at my AD last summer-about 10k after tax.
Literally the exact watch I am looking for, too. Congrats on picking it up,great price you got there too! Hope you're enjoying it :)
Julii believe it or not I get more compliments on the DJ than my rootbeer or submariner. I got lucky picking it up before it became an allocated piece. The funny thing was it was in the display case, my sales guy called me and I bought it 30 minutes later-happy hunting!
Krist Johnson I tried one on the other day. Plain bezel on oyster bracelet. I’ve put myself down for the fluted bezel and jubilee bracelet.
"Why did I buy this Rolex Sky Dweller?" Because you can brother. Because you can. Ain't no more to it than that. God bless you. And it's absolutely a keeper. Unless you want to sell it to me for $10,000.
"even though I screw over people everyday, I don't like to get screwed over"
MJ wears it.
Cool, I'll have my secretary book him for my next golfing outing.
Worked out for you cause its worth about $26-28k now 🤤
FukingFabulous!! Love it !! Can u imagine it in Baselworld in a Green dial ? 😍
Cool, thanks George!
Sick watch! Enjoy and have fun!!!😉👌⌚
May i ask if this watch is between 32k - 35k CAD $ , how much is the real value if you wanna sell it back to a dealer? How much does he pay for a watch like that? 28k?
Thanks
23k for a SkyDweller- ouch. That bezel reflecting the sunlight is to cool. I’ve always loved blue dials. You’ll sell it in time by your own statement, “I’m a reseller”.....
You think it’s too much ? I’m looking to buy one
Surely a heavy hitter and blue is my fav color so I probably would keep that. Great video Eric. Miami seems awesome. Greetings from Greece
I just got one for retail at the local AD! Walked in there talked to the lady behind the counter called me 2 weeks later and said they got it for me!
Oh yeah sure 😂
4:25 With the Bentley GT to match !! 😁
Ha Ha caught that!
CRM Jewelers 😅 Enjoy it...that watch is really 🔥🔥🔥
AWESOME VIDEO.I FEEL ASHAMED THAT I HAVE THE WHITE FACED SD!THAT IS A KILLER WATCH I WOULD KEEP IT.NEVER ACTUALLY SEEN A BLUE FACE BUT I LOVE IT!
Cool Kieran. Enjoy it. The white one is nice too.
Good video Eric! BTW, what do you think about the impact of conoravius on the watch market? Keep it up!
I have the white dial, paid £2k over retail but part exchanged a Sub Date for £2k over what I paid for it so in essence I got the SD for retail. It’s a Jan 2020 & came full set fully stickered, obviously came through the back door of an AD. I love the watch & it’s more versatile than the blue dial. Both stunning watches & I’m well pleased with mine.
One of your best reviews! Talk about being the customer; you know why people are in the watch game and communicate it better than any other RUclips Channel.
Hi , beautiful timepiece, what you think , AD said you can change face color from white to blue if you do service from him , white face start from 16000$ ? And I see u have yellow gold chain and SS watch it work?
Beautiful piece! But that speedster... wow!
Lol, you like that huh?
Congrats Eric! I'm also on a hunt for a blue SkyD
Awesome, good luck with the hunt!
I thought you were going to tell the guy in the Porsche that you have the blue sky dweller 😆
After Michael jordon spotted wearing it, now its gna be harder more!!! Im honored and humble i have one on my possession. From black to blue to electric blue!! Stunning piece! Wear it in good health erick
Thank you man, enjoy!
I have just agreed to purchase this watch from my AD, I have been on the waiting list just 6 months, with only a solitary Panerai purchase to my name. I never expected to get a call, never mind in just 6 months. I am super excited to collect it when the lock down ends... 😁. Next stop, Aquanaut or Nautilus... 😉
I can get one for $19,000 right now. Debating whether to pull the trigger or wait a little longer with the economy struggling.
And almost 2 years later, it is even more difficult to get than it was in Feb 2020. Just got mine from an AD last month...black dial with jubilee bracelet. So much more attractive than oyster bracelet. And best thing is, I paid Rolex retail price.
I appreciate your transparency with how and why you obtain some of your pieces. At the end, even if you are a watch dealer you buy what you like and you “pay to play”. Keep em coming!
Hey Eric, great post. My cousin (Miami Johnny who lives down there) and I just bought identical black dial sky dwellers (all stainless). Love them. The blue is amazing. But crazy expensive. I paid 17k for mine (new, full box and papers, from a friend with small wrists).
Damn dude, you have me now wanting the blue! Keep up great posts.
I'm holding out for Rolex to release the Land Dweller.
Gotta take those 6 year old bracelets off mate
I half expected a live strong bracelet XD
just to appease you? Maybe there is a sentimental value attached to them or some form of symbolism. Get over yourself.
@@evaburnz That's what an 80-year old lady said to me once, she was wearing a red leather jacket and fishnet stockings, said it had sentimental value to her.
@@toobalkain big deal
I'm going to buy the two tone with either a black or champagne dial. It's the only Rolex I'd buy in two-tone metal; the most modern Rolex, and most complicated in the classic colours.
Michael Jordan has one... what makes him so special
Nice watch, where did you get the wristbands? Much more obtainable for me
Man Rolex should do a mini skydweller at sub 40mm; remove the month complication and slim it. Some of us got b*tch wrists but still wanna rock that big sub dial.
James Pålsson agreed!
dunno abut this! if you are in the business you should know that the white dial is the cheepest skydweller.. then just change it to blue dial..?
That’s the exact one that I want when I get it I definitely will never let it go
Great watch , had a choice between blue and white dial , took white because I already had a blue DJ, only con to it is after sometime you start feeling it’s weight
I have one right now, considering selling it but it’s really the watch you want to have in your collection than a sub or Daytona, it’s just special
Zhixiang Li would you like to sell it? I am in the market for one
The sky dweller is the best watch Rolex produces!
It's definitely a Heavy Hitter!
I definitely believe it. My blue skyD is so user friendly.
Up another 50% on the used market now. This aged well! Good job!
Congratulations on your pick up I also yern this piece been waiting since day one 🤦🏼♂️💙⌚️👌🏻
@CRM, do you still have the same view? And between the blue and green dial which one do you choose now in 2023?
Crazy stuff, When they make a HULK green version. I’ll cop this drip. YMII in SS is a better choice for the money...
Oh damn imagine a skydweller Hulk holy crap that would look amazing
Amazing watch but I’m worried about the thickness with my 6.5 inch wrist. What size wrist are you Eric?
Everytime i watch one of your videos, i want to buy the watch you talk about 🤣 you know how to give the right word... the brands should pay you... keep it up.
I like all your videos dude. I'm considering doing a part ex for this blue dial sky-dweller this coming week!
I'm a regular at my AD so he's willing to chat. I asked him how long. He said Rolex is giving them one a year, and they have a lot more than one person who wants one.
Congrats! Bad ass watch!! I pretty much get anything at my AD. I literally waited a year and a half to get by SS sky blue dial at the AD. But 1-25-20 came in that call and I got it! 🙏🏻💪
Wear the hell out of the watch and in due time flip it.
Thanks for sharing that Mario.
You have the best version of the Sky Dweller. I hope you won't fall out of love. Wear, live and put it away. Bring it back out and pair it with a compatible outfit again. The blue Sky Dweller is unbeatable with dressy jeans and open collar dress shirt. You paid full price for a watch you won't outgrow. get the value out of it by living it.
Eric, do you still love it???
I actually think the blue dial although beautiful is slightly over hyped. I have the two tone black face on jubilee and it seriously bangs!
Hi Eric, How if my friend offer me his preowned. All sealed intact only used 2-3 times. Sky D blue April 2018, in about $18,500usd? You think I need to take it or not ?
I paid retail for mine and I love the Blue Sky it's my favorite Rolex and I will never sell mine.
Congratulations Eric on a great purchase.
Haha I am the same Eric. When I buy a new watch I need to wear it right away✌️
As always quality content, cheers from Poland Eric💪
What city in poland
Do you still have your sky dweller?
Just got mine from AD at list, but I’m not flipping...
MJ was wearing it yesterday.
I'll see him later on the green and I'll verify it.
Jiro 808 yes I saw that too!
@@Crmjewelers nice. Cool videos. keepem coming
@@georgezagr6627 lol. It caught my eye when he wiped his face and the light made the face purple for a second.
Jiro 808 yea I saw his speech at Kobe’s funeral and the Sky Dweller was BOOM 💥
got this at retail before the price increase. beauty
Lucky 🍀 bastard!! Wear it in good health.
Something about a blue dial on a white metal bracelet that is a beautiful combination. I just picked up a white gold Daytona with the blue dial and can’t stop looking at the dial.
Congratulations on your purchase... where it in good health
28k, fair game. I would pay 29k Closest is a 2nd market blue dial, I almost fell for it too.
Got mine 4 months ago, with the blue dial, also own a Sub, Daytona, GMT 2 , but this SD knocks the other ones of the throne
Keep it!!! It’s A very good looking watch
Thanks Yoander!
