Trade thoughts

Would you rather have these two? Or one white SkyD? The latter would sort of combine the eggshell on the OP with some of the red on the rising sun. But tough to let these go also.

100% SkyDweller if your wrist can handle it.

currently shopping around for 3861 speedmaster and have had my name on the "list" for a Sky-D over a year at my AD.....

With that being said, I personally would trade those 2 for the SkyD now and then try to rebuy whichever of the other 2 you miss most down the road.

good luck

An easy one for me, although only on PM or TT. The WG hands of the SS don't have enough contrast for me.



You should do what your heart tells you. I can only tell you what I would do.

Skydweller for sure. Not a fan of that combo at all. I would keep the OP if maybe paired with another watch, perhaps something with a black dial.

If your wrist is large enough to accommodate wear the Skydweller comfortably, that would be my pick

Those two over the SkyD. But I’d consider consolidating for something else.

I would go SkyDweller instead of those two watches. But only if your wrist can handle it. It’s large watch compared to your OP. Not sure on the Omega, never owned one.

Do you want a trade or just want the dopamine hit? One can always flip and trade. Sit on it 6months and if the urge still there make a move. What most are really chasing is running the hedonic treadmill. Nothing wrong with that per se, but not being aware may cause one to flip something they really don’t want to part with, rather they just want something new cause it feels good.

I’d personally wear SkyD more than these two combined so I would make the trade.

Skydweller all day long. Then get yourself a cheap pre owned SMP diver next summer. Done.

Wait, you didn’t ask me first

2 for 1 is always kinda tricky unless PM is involved but I’m a massive SkyD fanboy and considering those 2 I’d say yes. Especially if the OP and Speedy aren’t getting any wrist time. Just go SS in either white or black.

I would do the trade. I prefer a smaller collection of outstanding pieces to a larger collection of good ones. Just my .02 - reasonable folks can and do disagree!

Two baby watches or one big boy watch?

I'll always vote one big boy watch.

Keep those two and save for the Skydweller, or better yet a DayDate.

Given you’d probably, hopefully, only wear one at a time, I’d rather wear the SkyD than either of those. Nothing against them, that’s a nice pair with good color and complication variety.
