Rolex Sky Dweller in 18k Everrose Gold

Went to my local AD today and found my all holy grail. I know it's not for everyone, and for most, it's a bit flamboyant, but for some god awful reason, I have absolutely fallen in love with it. It also happened to be my first time trying on the Sky Dweller, and now I absolutely am smitten.

Anyone else own the Sky Dweller and willing to comment? Should I cave in? I am also considering the black face on 18k white gold bracelet. A part of me still thinks that over 30k USD seems a bit much for a Rolex, as that is entering gravelly close or already there to perpetual calendar Pateks.


Thanks for listening to me rant!

Best looking Sky Dweller model right there in my opinion...

That one is definitely on my radar screen -- the contrast of the RG and the sand dial are amazing!

I absolutely love the SkyD. It is my favorite model rolex currently. I literally love every pm variation, I prefer the RG with chocolate, the YG with champagne, and the WG with ivory. I want them all haha. The only other watch I love even close to the skyd is the glacier platty ddii. I say pull the trigger on this one as it's a no brainer. I'm bias though

A cool watch but not my favorite. I think the dial is too busy and I don't need the functions. The new DD 40, that is a different story and can be had for less dollars.

This watch just seems so over the top esp when you can buy a pretty good car at that price. :)

I have seen a rose gold models in various dealers but didn't get warm to it, 326938 was once my grail. If I ever buy a gold Rolex watch, Sky Dweller with Roman Dials will be my first choice

Love it. The WG with black dial is my choice, but heck, how could you go wrong with any of them?
