In a parallel universe, you walk into your local AD & your SA brings out 2 watches from the safe.

A RG Daytona Chocolate dial & a RG Sky D Chocolate dial - both on Oysterflex.

Which one do you choose & why???

Just for fun guys - interested to hear your choices & reasons why

strongly depends on your collection, daytona for me

rambo99 · 6 December 2021, 04:59 AM

the fluted bezel is dressy while the oysterflex bracelet is sporty, they do not match at all. i choose the daytona.

NYG1121 · 6 December 2021, 05:01 AM

Dont forget the 12k difference in retail price! Daytona better value but I think that SkyD is a very cool piece with way more presence!

my thoughts too - but I still do really like the Sky D

Proper mind scramble

Benzsiam · 6 December 2021, 05:29 AM

For SS models, both Daytona and blue Sky D are very popular but for PM models, PM Daytona is more popular than PM Sky D.

VentureLuxuries · 6 December 2021, 05:45 AM

Is picking up both not an option?!

If I had to choose, the Daytona. Both are gorgeous pieces though.

samuel019 · 6 December 2021, 05:51 AM

I have that SkyD but full PM

On the list for the Daytona either full or OF

So I say both

jmusser3r · 6 December 2021, 06:31 AM

As similar as they are I feel they are two different watches. Daytona can fly under the radar a bit but there is no hiding the shine from the fluted bezel on the skydweller.

samuel019 · 6 December 2021, 07:03 AM

Just for the record I know Rolex gets a lot of attention for there green dials but I gotta say the Chocolate is a close second IMO

The Chocolate Daytona, DayDate, and the SkyD are simply beautiful. That’s why I’ve been wearing out my A D for one more.

interestedinwatches · 6 December 2021, 07:16 AM

If the SkyD was on bracelet I would probably vote for that. The Oysterflex does not work with the SkyD at all as it is a sporty strap on a dressy watch. It looks bad. Easy win for Daytona here

indianmachine · 6 December 2021, 07:21 AM

would pick the daytona, skydweller is too big for me and too much bling for my style

Tanalasta · 6 December 2021, 07:38 AM

The SkyD wears too large. And blingy. Like a huge datejust. The Daytona on the other hand…

I appreciate the movement complications in both. But easy vote to the Daytona here

Both are great, I went SkyD RG Choco

RG Chocolate Daytona only on bracelet for me.

watchwatcher · 7 December 2021, 01:36 AM

I went against the crowd and voted SkyD. Why? Because without the mini glide lock, getting the right fit is nearly impossible, and with OF, fit is everything.

DoricSpiker · 7 December 2021, 01:42 AM

Daytona as it works well on the Oysterflex.

Sky D simply for the complication.

I've not seen the that SD in person, but had the Chocolate Daytona for a few years and really liked it. Sold it and wish now I hadn't (esp since it has appreciated a ton...). I'll tell you this, that Daytona got far more compliments than my SS Daytona or JC Deepsea. It really pops in person.

Thanks for the feedback

garyk · 7 December 2021, 04:29 AM

I said Sky D since I already have two Daytonas...

Alan111 · 7 December 2021, 04:35 AM

Daytona is a Daytona. But if the Sky Dweller was a more normal, wearable size, I think it would win out.

OrangeSport · 7 December 2021, 05:37 AM

SD of course!

Alfa2109 · 7 December 2021, 06:05 AM

I own both a RG Daytona leather strap that I've put on a RubberB and a RG SkyD on OF, and I love them both. (Happen to be wearing the Daytona today.)

The objection to the SkyD on OF because the SkyD is not a sports model I find downright odd. Why is it any stranger to "down-dress" a dressier model like a SkyD with an OF strap than it is to "up-dress" a sports model like a Daytona with a full-gold bracelet? I don't hear anyone suggesting that the latter is incongruous -- because it's not. Nor is putting an OF strap on a SkyD.

JPBlackBay · 7 December 2021, 06:13 AM

Gotta go with the Daytona. More appealing to me. A fluted bezel with oysterflex doesn't do it for me. Much prefer the Sky D on a bracelet.
