It's not window shopping if you're inside the store, trying things out!
With that said, I might pay my AD a visit tomorrow about a Tudor.

Well you're right haha. I'm on the hunt for a new watch and I've wanted one with a moon phase so I was looking at frederique constant, montblanc and maybe a longines but heck dude I've been thinking of getting a Speedmaster
Im narrowing it to those brands because of budget

Even the moon has lume (iirc) and has Buzz Aldrin's footprint!

That video sealed the deal for me re: black dial. That said I did buy someone a Datejust 41 w/ blue sunburst dial yesterday and it's phenomenal in person.

I apologize if this question has been asked already, but does the case size simply come down to preference? For instance is wearing a smaller case size such as 31mm frowned upon? Thanks in advance.

case size is personal preference in the end, I base my decision on the size of my wrist and honestly, at times it feels like my 36mm fits and looks better than my bigger watches
but there are also others out there who wants that giant face on their wrist and that's perfectly fine too

A good guideline for sizing as well is that you don't let the lugs don't hang off your wrist. Anything smaller than that is acceptable, IMO.

I'm gonna get that SkyDweller by the end of the year. I like it especially for that price. Or the GMT.

Also keep in mind that not all watches of the same size wear the same. As an example, put on a 40mm Sub or GMT and then put on a 40mm Day Date or Daytona... the latter two wear MUCH smaller, to the point that you'd think they were in the 36-38mm range.

Thanks to everyone that chimed in with the sizing help, greatly appreciated.

Just left my local AD and put my name on the list. Should be touching base by the end of the week when the rest of staff gets back with more information about allotment and availability.

The way things are looking I'm never getting the SS SkyD. I'm sure we'll see two tones trickle down the line first followed by SS. I have been reading that the demand is outweighing production 150 to 1. Particularly 75k inquiries on the SS blue and a production of 500 units a year.
I had a RG skyD for a few months but flipped it. Never planned on keeping it but I got it used and beat for a good price. The thirst I'm having for this watch has made me regret doing that

Yeah, pretty outrageous to me as well. I didn't believe it, nor do I know how one would even document the amount of people interested in the watch. But I did read it on the forums somewhere over the weekend and was surprised.
It was just the blue dial SS in particular, that I read was 500 units per year. Perhaps following some of AP's sales tactics? Or just fake news. Whatever it is, I want it.

This. They can't be that bad. But yeah, even Rolex ADs here have disappointing selections. Nothing much to display since everything's not available. Rolex hype is just crazy. Might as well get the other grails from other brands out of the way. :\

it really depends on your location
in my area, the batman was sitting on the case while in other parts of the country it has a waiting list
the DaytonaC definitely has the most demand right now and it looks like the SkyDwellers might be coming second on that list but if you can wait it'll level out
hows the demand on the new SeaDweller? that's they're big reveal but I wouldn't be surprised if it is being overshadowed
