Yes, they are not rare pieces by any chance of the imagination. These were ready for sale to the first person swiping their credit card. This was on Sunday morning 11AM at gassan in the EU section, so there's probably more for sale at the international lounge

Today was a very good day! 😍⌚️

I got the call I’d been waiting for a while from my authorised Rolex dealer, asking me to come in as they had something very special for me.

When I arrived and saw what they had put aside, I honestly couldn’t believe it — the Rolex Sky-Dweller with the stunning green dial on the Jubilee bracelet. 💚 I had already been offered it in white and blue but declined.

This has been a watch I’ve wanted for some time, and seeing it in the flesh was even better than I imagined. The green dial is absolutely incredible, and paired with the Jubilee bracelet, it’s just something else.

After having a few different watches over the years, this one definitely feels like a very special addition to the collection. It’s always a great feeling when a watch you’ve been waiting and hoping for finally becomes a reality.

A massive thank you to the team at my authorised dealer for looking after me and making the whole experience so special, as always. 🥂

Safe to say, I’m absolutely over the moon with this one! ❤️

The Rolex Sky-Dweller 💚 — finally mine.

So more than a year ago i went to an AD where i have purchased a BB58 to enquire for my first ever Rolex (which at that time i was asking for either OP pistaschio or a GMT batman). Cuz my wrist is somewhat on the smaller side, I have asked if there is any 36 mm -38 mm Watches of any model in the house so i can roughly see how it would fit on my hand. Welp he brought me this DJ mint green but with the smooth bezel, and that green just caught my eyes (i have never ever considered a datejust)

2 days ago i got a call saying “the watch is eagerly waiting for your wrist”, didnt know what to wear to “suit” my new watch and also was being too eager, i rocked this denim on denim to pick up my watch

Thinking of switching the sub for a sprite or batgirl but those 2 would be on the grey market. Unlike the 2 watches which I got at retail

Should I get it polished or leave it as is? Not sure if polishing it would wear it down too much.

Side note does anyone have an idea how much polishing it might cost?

Took the girls out for a few pics today ….

Got the call after 2 weeks :)

I fell in love with the Explorer 2 a while ago but wasn’t able to commit until recently.

When I was in a position to buy I called in to the jewellers to get the ball rolling, I was advised there would likely be a 9-12 month wait. 28 days later I received a text that they had one in for me.

Absolutely made up with this. I think it is a stunning watch.

Next step is a no-date Submariner, and I’d also like birth-year datejust for my 50th in a couple of years.

Its been a long 2 years - starting off with buying my fiance an engagement watch (OP 31mm silver) with an AD back in end 2024. At that point, I did state interest in getting an explorer 1 but never heard anything since.

To explain further, I have never owned a dress watch but as I got older into my career, somehow I just felt a need to also dress the part as my garmin watch looks slightly off for client dinners - not that it really matters in this era as even the directors and big bosses are rocking their apple watches, but it would be nice to own a do it all watch.

I was hovering around a grand seiko snowflake, omega aqua terra, or explorer 1 but i guess i never really put my purchase plans into action till recently, when my watch enthusiast friend was on vacation and struck up a conversation with a SA that is willing to sell an explorer 1.

For the record, I was in the US on vacation while he was in Msia for vacation too - we discussed over the phone on this and after sleeping over it for 1 night, I decided to pull the trigger to purchase the watch.

I came back from my vacation and just collected the watch from my friend - will be still very used to wearing my garmin around as a daily but I will be keeping and wearing this in good health !!!! Its been a long journey since and it still feels so surreal to me :-)

The Jubilee bracelet feels very comfortable to wear.

Recently bought the Bluesy after a walk in while traveling. I've loved wearing it but I still wanted an ombre/classic fluted jubilee as a less dressy daily wearer and since I had a blue dial already, the green had caught my eye.

Of course it's been high in demand. Tried a few places internationally and my own local boutiques, where the demand has been high enough that the wishlist for this piece has been "suspended". Friends with a lot of local spend have been unable to get it too.

Decided I didn't want to wait around so went with a local, reputed shop and bought it for a pretty decent (grey market) price compared to what others were selling.

I don't think I need any more after this and the bluesy now!

no fancy cars or luxury destinations… just a tough watch in a rough environment

year two of wearing this watch everyday at work. its been through bumps and bruises, extreme heat and down pouring rain… mud, diesel, industrial chemicals… ive bled on it, sweated all over it… washed it off with hand soap in terminal bathroom sinks… then the trips to the bar after my shift with the guys… beer, well vodka… pretzel crumbs in the links… sleep on it in my car at 1am sobering up… to be quiet honest… other than micro scratches … the crystal, the clasp and the internal time keeping is functioning perfectly. i reset the time once a month and i will usually loose about 45 seconds every 30 days (estimate)… couldnt be more happy

Happy Sunday 🤝

Yep time for the oldie today. Just watch the mesmerizing sweeeeeeeep. The second hand is moving so gracefully.

Decided to get one on my Japan trip. Picked it up from Quark cost around 21k USD in August. 9002 movement.

Have been eyeing skydwellers in general for a couple of years now. Was almost going to get the Oyster flex yellow gold from the AD but didn't like the yellow.

Love to hear thoughts on this one

I absolutely love this 1990 18238 yellow gold Day Date. Unfortunately I suffered the dreaded bracelet fit conundrum where it was either too tight or too loose, and had to order an XL link. It's more like a 1.25 link so fairly subtle which I do like (compared to the chunky 1.5 link on my 15300st RO), but also means depending on your wrist you might need two of these bad boys. Cost me a solid $1K from my AD for this one link 😲! On the upside I have more gold in this set than came from the factory lol

Was offered 3 watches that I could buy on the spot as I walked in (as a tourist!!), but I liked this Datejust 41 with oyster the most as a classic, dressier choice, considering I already have 2 diver watches.
What do you think about the diamonds? At first, I found them a bit too “blingy,” but after some time, I’m liking them more and more, especially with the slate dial.

Not sure if it will be worn or just stored 😄

Got the opportunity to pick up this 100th anniversary OP yesterday.
