Nice truck!

u/PracticalAd4281 1d ago

It’s a beast!

u/BIG_DUMMY_EVER 1d ago

Where at in the Carolina’s?

7

u/More_Fishing_1905 1d ago

Dam I love dat watch. Got me one. O you love it?

3

u/Thunder-chicken300 1d ago

Very cool complications but a tad large for me. Blue & white gold looks amazing.

2

u/kosherhalfsourpickle 1d ago

I have the same one, it rarely leaves my wrist.

2

u/seasonalscholar 1d ago

I have the same one. It’s awesome!

2

u/Lazz_plays 21h ago

I’ve always thought this configuration right here is the one. It’s like a good friend of mine used to say “like a set of big ol’ juicy tits” lol

2

u/IcyPop1912 21h ago

I like big ol’ juicy tits

2

u/Lazz_plays 21h ago

Ya, that makes two of us lol

u/Round_Teach_7088 1d ago

This would be a phone call

u/ShAdOw_PaNtHeR1212 1d ago

I am in love with the Sky Dweller. It's probably my favourite Rolex and may even be my next watch.

4

u/Wooden_Cake_7182 1d ago

History and wait?

25

u/PracticalAd4281 1d ago

Two month wait. I’ve spent over 150k with this A.D.

7

u/Thunder-chicken300 1d ago

So that’s what it takes to get the model you want in under 3 years ?🙄🙄🙄. I’m 20 months into my wait for a Batgirl after waiting 17 months for YM 40 Blue dial. Previous Explorer II was grey so that doesn’t count. They should give me credit to maintaining my Dads ‘72 Red Sub in top shape !😜😜

2

u/Lazz_plays 21h ago

That watch is beautiful, take good care of it! I hope my children cherish my Rolexes as I do now 👍

3

u/Thunder-chicken300 21h ago

Yes Sir. My kids are 18 & 21 & at 25 will each get one of my Rollies as long as they are on a good career trajectory. Not gonna wait till I croak, but I’ll wear the Red Sub till I’m 75 before I turn that one over !😜

1

u/Lazz_plays 21h ago

I hear you brother! Enjoy your watches in good health, I’m 43 so still a few more years to go 🍻

1

u/Thunder-chicken300 21h ago

Definitely !

1

u/meshreplacer 14h ago

Just spend 150K whats the big deal. Rolex club is not open to everyone who just walks in from the street. You get invited to the exclusive Rolex family. There are plenty of other brands for those who cannot afford the price of entry.

1

u/Thunder-chicken300 10h ago

Right that’s all no biggie !! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🙄

u/Mikefromalb 1d ago

Gorgeous.

u/Jbarrett95 1d ago

Gonna set the month?

1

u/Seagull_Manager 1d ago

This was really hurting my soul as well

1

u/Chadly25 1d ago

Or the date…

1

u/Jbarrett95 1d ago

Today is the 6th so I will give him that

0

u/meshreplacer 13h ago

You can get the month on your iPhone.

1

u/Jbarrett95 13h ago

I don’t understand what you’re saying. If you have the function it should be set right. That would be like saying I shouldn’t set the time because I have the time on my phone.

3

u/Can-i-pet-dat-dawg 1d ago

Got the call for the raptor r I see also.

7

u/PracticalAd4281 1d ago

Yes, the Raptor was much harder to get 😂

4

u/Can-i-pet-dat-dawg 1d ago

My BIL owns a ford dealership so I have the raptor ranger and a raptor r allocated for September! Got my 2 tone sky dweller 2 weeks ago.

u/PracticalAd4281 1d ago

There you go! Congratulations

2

u/cea002 1d ago

Glad you picked up. Looks great!

u/Squicy_Boi 1d ago

17

u/PracticalAd4281 1d ago

Just a few of the others

2

u/CIouey 1d ago

The John Mayer is my dream, one day! Congrats.

u/DiabloSol 1d ago

Ice. Ice. Ice. Baby. Grail. Plat. Epic collection

u/salloumk 1d ago

u/Isoflur 1d ago

Looks great on your wrist, SkyD’s are an amazing choice! congrats

1

u/PracticalAd4281 1d ago

Thank you!

1

u/ParticularArachnid35 1d ago

November, though?

1

u/potter_joe 1d ago

Beautiful piece. I would get one if they made a smaller size .. or if I had a larger wrist. I guess I'll enjoy it vicariously through reddit. Lol

2

u/PGT34 1d ago

Haha. I'm in the same boat. Love the watch, it hates my wrist.

1

u/Tokyosmash_ 1d ago

Nice Raptor 🤘🏻

1

u/PracticalAd4281 1d ago

Thank you!

1

u/No_Law_6328 21h ago

Congrats on the Sky Dweller! This might be heresy because you have a Raptor R, but I got a Lightning in February and absolutely love it!

1

u/PracticalAd4281 21h ago

I like the lightings. I have previously looked at getting one.

1

u/Happy_Pickles_5959 1d ago

Nice! This piece is absolutely gorgeous. You did well!

1

u/Big-Agent7022 1d ago

Congratulations it’s beautiful wear in great health

1

u/Constantly-sleeping 1d ago

Nice looks great!

1

u/Strict_Set_5197 1d ago

Nice piece! Also nice truck. I tried to buy a raptor but trying to get one of those is worse than trying to get a Daytona from the ad lol

1

u/kidseven77 1d ago

This was always my grail and I love it ! But unfortunately I don’t wear it enough due to the size of it on my wrist. It looks incredible tho.

1

u/Quagmire70 1d ago

You got the call in November and your only posting now?

1

u/dinanm4 1d ago

Finks north hills?

Congrats. Sick watch and rig.

u/panzer9630 1d ago

Beautiful watch in my opinion the most beautiful watch Rolex produces

1

u/winstonps11 1d ago

Good for you! Enjoy, and congratulations!🎉

1

u/Chadly25 1d ago

I just got mine Thursday. They wouldn’t even hand it to me until the month, date, and time were set.

1

u/aussieashbro 1d ago

We just don’t see enough of this watch. Love it.

2

u/HF_bro 22h ago

It’s the hardest SS to get. Saying this as someone who owns this and the Daytona.

1

u/dougbic 1d ago

Stunning

1

u/rmgrowler 1d ago

Raptor R?

1

u/PracticalAd4281 1d ago

Yes sir

1

u/rmgrowler 1d ago

Love it? I have one on order

1

u/bezneedshelp 1d ago

Awesome piece

1

u/Responsible_Ad_7995 1d ago

The market’s imploding, financial chaos everywhere and the Rolex sub is humming along.

1

u/solidice 1d ago

Did you spend the $150k on things you wanted?

1

u/The_Wolf_of_Walmer 1d ago

What on Gods green earth is that majestic Rolex called!?? Goodness Gracious.

1

u/BigW_2021 1d ago

Excellent looking & a great call

1

u/dm_z 1d ago

Why the month indicator is at 11?

1

u/Antique-Drink-9076 23h ago

Very nice, congratulations! I've been on 'the list' for over 5 years. I'm basically being ignored. Still, I'm happy for you.

1

u/ChuckHustle23 22h ago

Nice watch, one of the best

1

u/Xtanie1963 22h ago

That’s a great one 👍🏻

1

u/IcyPop1912 22h ago

Yea but it’s a Seiko….. and it ain’t no Rolex….. and it’s a Seiko

1

u/HF_bro 22h ago

I can guarantee you this is going to get more wrist time than your other ones haha. It’s such a perfect watch.

2

u/PracticalAd4281 21h ago

Best Sky Dweller for sure. Amazing watch

1

u/rauskee 21h ago

Nice pick up!

1

u/RODNNYB 21h ago

Congratulations

1

u/PitchIll7577 17h ago

How long wait and how much is the list on it!! Congrats it’s gorgeous time piece. I just got on the list with the AD and preparing myself to wait 1999 years

1

u/Rillz949 17h ago

Welcome to the Sky lounge. I got mine the first week of January to mark a special year in A&D. Hasn't left my wrist since. Love the blue dial and the way the bezel shimmers when the sunlight hits it in the car.

1

u/brokehypebeast22 13h ago

what do you do for work

1

u/StockRaider8888 12h ago

I own it in the black dial ref 326934. I wear it everyday Almost. The fact it’s the most complicated Rolex ever made makes it even more amazing than it looks.

1

u/Substantial-Pen-7123 11h ago

I love your taste congratulations exquisite watch

1

u/PT911S 11h ago

Why do you have it set to November?

1

u/moghul1 11h ago

Great choice, beautiful watch

u/fskywalker 8h ago

Congrats

u/Aware-Shame-9716 50m ago

Am i crazy because it looks both rose and steel

0

u/Fixinbones27 1d ago

Love the jubilee bracelet

-1

u/Grin_and_Bear-it 1d ago

And the AD doesn't know how to set the month? Pretty sure it's not November...

-14

u/Round_Teach_7088 1d ago

You’ve spent 150k to get a PM watch available everywhere ?

19

u/PracticalAd4281 1d ago

I spent $150,000 in watches that I wanted. I wanted to watch so I purchased it. Not that hard of a decision for me.

7

u/NicholasDeOrio 1d ago

congrats dude lol these other guys are so bitter

3

u/Apprehensive_Art6060 1d ago

Envy is a deadly sin, get help

-4

u/Round_Teach_7088 1d ago

Not envious at all, Issa nice watch. Just not deserving of a 150k spend with the AD.

0

u/LuxePhantom 1d ago

Bitter?

-1

u/Round_Teach_7088 1d ago

You jackwagons that keep downvoting me. PM watches are available all over the planet. No phone call needed.

0

u/LuxePhantom 1d ago

That watch is not available to just anyone from an AD

0

u/Round_Teach_7088 1d ago

Bullshit. That watch is available to ANYONE who’s willing to buy it at that absurd retail price.

0

u/LuxePhantom 1d ago

Grey market it’s available. AD for MSRP it’s not happening.

-1

u/Happy_Pickles_5959 1d ago

I have only seen the RG sky dweller with blue green dial once in person, and that was oyster, not jubilee. Where is this reference available everywhere?

-7

u/Round_Teach_7088 1d ago

Most airports and overseas locations are stock full of full gold watches available for sale.

-4

u/NayebBukkake 1d ago

Wrong arm?

10

u/PracticalAd4281 1d ago

I’m left handed

-18

u/Ok-Nefariousness-927 1d ago

You and 30 other people. That watch has been available at the last 3 ADs I've been to. 58k out the door. No purchase history required.

19

u/PracticalAd4281 1d ago

I’m happy for you. Let me see the watches that you have.

1

u/Flipmarine2k 1d ago

Not with that dial! If so tell me where so I can pick up lol

1

u/Ok-Nefariousness-927 1d ago

The last AD I was at that had this was Bijoux Jewelers in Kingston Jamaica. Ask for Vinny or check text/call at +1 (876) 582-1080. That was about 3 weeks ago.

1

u/Round_Teach_7088 1d ago

And these morons down vote the truth
