$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.

![The ROLEX SKY DWELLER... It's Complicated [Review of Steel Sky Dweller]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/d4B9Ol93FfQ/mqdefault.jpg)

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
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!
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 TH-cam Channel.
Finally got one today. Never seen one in person before today and my jaw dropped as soon as I saw it in person today.
Love this one ! really creative , unique piece of art . Rolex did bring the fresh air to the band itself
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!
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
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.
Beautiful piece brother!! Second time I’ve watched this!! Love the music in the background
A beautiful piece and a definite keeper! How can you get tired of that blue..💙
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 had one with blue dial. The fluted bezel is mesmerizing when light hits it.
I like all your videos dude. I'm considering doing a part ex for this blue dial sky-dweller this coming week!
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.
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
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%
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.
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.
That’s a beautiful piece! Since you mentioned it’s not your “grail” let me ask you Eric, what is your “grail” piece??
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!
Congratulations on your pick up I also yern this piece been waiting since day one 🤦🏼♂️💙⌚️👌🏻
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
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
Congratulations. It’s a beautiful piece. Enjoy it. Stunner!!
Congrats Eric! I'm also on a hunt for a blue SkyD
Awesome, good luck with the hunt!
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 the exact one that I want when I get it I definitely will never let it go
Good video Eric! BTW, what do you think about the impact of conoravius on the watch market? Keep it up!
I would take a sky dweller over a Daytona anyday
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.
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
This is definitely one of Rolex’s HEAVY hitters ❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful watch. Congrats mr erik. I just got my steel black dial skydweller and I love it. Got at retail. The blue one for me was impossible to get. But I feel the black face skydweller is a great everyday watch for work and weekends. I wish they would have made the clasp on the bracket line the submariner but oh well.
Love this watch ! It’s a must have for me.
Good buy !
Such a beautiful watch, amazing colour 👍
As for me I would definitely keep this piece, that blue dial is just gorgeous man🔥🔥🔥
You never go wrong buying it just because you like it! That blue is gorgeous
Thank you Scott!
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
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
Congrats on your new purchase sir Eric!!!!
Sky-Dwellers are special! And that blue...hardly anybody does it better!
Sick watch! Enjoy and have fun!!!😉👌⌚
Is a piece of art. Bravo!
My local store had a used one for $25,000. They would take anything less so yes you got a great deal!!!
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
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
Love the blue Sky Dweller, but at the price point you can get a Blancpain FF Bathy, or even the bigger brother chrono version... it a DJ + GMT which is awesome.... and really love the Platinum version.
NICE and if you cant resist spend it, I am sure you'll be able to pass it on when the time is right, I agree about your thoughts about the entire dial being blue, keep it in nice shape and maybe someone will make you an offer, some watches I have sold in the past I regret selling
Agree
Sky dweller is the most beautiful stunning piece,definitely on top the Daytona for sure💪💪💪
Now I want one...congrats!!
That Speedster!!! Miami is so sick!
Thomas Williams YESSSSS
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!
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.
Nice watch, where did you get the wristbands? Much more obtainable for me
Great Eric! 👌🏻
I have been fortunate enough to get one and I love it. I even wear it to sleep
I would keep it! Looks great and is a SS heavy hitter. Nice add!
That emoji in your title pretty much sums it up. I overpaid for my Sky Dweller too, so I feel your pain.
What is a good price to pay for a brand new Datejust 36 with fluted bezel and jubilee? I would like one with a black dial.
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 $18,500usd? You think I need to take it or not ?
Beautiful watch! And a keeper! No doubt!
Looks nice... hope it feels every bit of the hype
wearing on you!!! me too when i swear i have to buy it..whatever it might be that week... corona virus has forced me to slow down. it's a good thing!! take care dude..
Hi , beautiful timepiece, what you think , AD said you can change face color from white to blue if you do service from him , white face start from 16000$ ? And I see u have yellow gold chain and SS watch it work?
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.
It's a very good presentation!
And it's a very innovative watch🤔
Amazing watch mate good job
Great Watch Love the Blue!!!
“I’m just gonna dump it and get rid of it!” Lol.
Lol eloquently put!
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
Hello Eric, nice watch. But I'm just curious about this watch in the watch game, is it a heavy hitter?
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
It's a beauty! Love it. Enjoy.
Thanks Aaron.
Hey Eric! Now it's later in the year, and with all the craziness in the world today, are these things still holding their own, in a resale sense?
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.
4:25 With the Bentley GT to match !! 😁
Ha Ha caught that!
CRM Jewelers 😅 Enjoy it...that watch is really 🔥🔥🔥
Great video, very informative, in your opinion would this fit on 7.75 inch wrist and not look too small? Thanks
Sky-Dweller fits perfectly on my 7" wrist.
😱😱
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!!!
Absolutely gorgeous..Congrats brother..enjoy in excellent health..😎🤙
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
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.
It does look Great!
Nice...wear it until the next one coming up lol..great video ...
looks amazing
Had the option of blue and white to place an order at my AD, opted for white and now kind of regret it. Still a beautiful watch
2021: blue you can find everywhere in Germany for 24000€ - conditions like new
Ha! Blue Bent GT at 4:25 right on cue!!
Im lucky to be getting one this week at retail price!! Its a rare opportunity. A celebrity customer of mine is getting it for me because he has a connection, otherwise it wouldn't happen..
yeah yeah yeah like we care
Amazing watch but I’m worried about the thickness with my 6.5 inch wrist. What size wrist are you Eric?
Nice pickup!
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 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... 😉
That's a beautiful watch.
Good foresight, 1 year later from your video, with the entire world still very much impacted by COVID and Economic crisis, this Sky Dweller Blue price has increased by another USD 10K (USD 32K for one dated in 2021) here in Singapore.
@CRM, do you still have the same view? And between the blue and green dial which one do you choose now in 2023?
Awesome watch brother...keep it
100 % agree and this is what did... I git it
In Jan .... and the price still rocket 🚀 to the sky, lucky that I got a brand new one
Stunning watch that for every day use ...cool buy i say
Keep that thing😊✌🏽
Totally the same when get a watch going straight on
