What would you choose:
Rolex Sky-Dweller 326934
or
Rolex Sea-Dweller 126600
and why?

ltmgeller · 28 October 2018, 11:28 AM

I'd get the Sky-Dweller because I don't have 1 and although I don't have the Sea-Dweller I do have a 14060, a 116613 LN and the D-Blue DSSD. I would like to add the Sea-Dweller to my collection. The blue really pops on the Sky-Dweller and but the Red Sea-Dweller is really sharp. This is not easy. I'd save for both. Happy hunting.

Gotgolf52 · 28 October 2018, 11:33 AM

This would be very interesting result. SkyD for me.

Fort Rolex · 28 October 2018, 11:35 AM

Of these two the SkyD

dr.fiddy · 28 October 2018, 11:35 AM

Impossible choice... That's why I got both

zjd168 · 28 October 2018, 11:45 AM

SkyD blue, since it is a lot harder to collect.

If both are abundant, I will chooses SD43 though.

yhzdude · 28 October 2018, 11:48 AM

skydweller, for dressy occasion...but for a daily ..the Sea.
i have the sea dweller so would get the skydweller if i could get my hands on it.

leong · 28 October 2018, 12:20 PM

My take is... I want both eventually!
This Sky-D is also top of my choice but getting it here where I'm staying is almost impossible mission :(

It's OK cause I have other choices which include SD43 as well. Now I'm a happy owner of SD43 for past one week, I'll just wait patiently for my other choices to be available and rebuild my finance at the same time.

I can imagine SD43 dresses down a lot easier than Sky-D and the SD43 can also dress up well if needs to, just have to take a bit care on the cuff of your sleeve.

+1

Don’t suppose this helps ?

watchmework · 28 October 2018, 01:25 PM

This is tough, I really like both of these models. I’d pick the SD43 because I thinks it’s a more versatile piece with dressing up and down, plus the black dial. These are probably my top 2 references right now though.

RTG · 28 October 2018, 01:33 PM

As a world traveler the Sky-Dweller is the obvious choice

JCZ5 · 28 October 2018, 01:36 PM

I have both and I gravitate towards the SD43 more often

I'd choose the Skydweller. Besides being a beautiful piece the way the complications are displayed on the dial keeps it so interesting. Personally I'd prefer it with a black dial.

I love the Sky Dweller. Although I do really want the SD43, I have a sub so the Sky is a complete contrast.

Had both and ultimately could not get over the annoying “gap” where the bracelet meets the case on the sky dweller. Maybe I had a faulty piece but when I took it to my AD they assured me they all did that. At certain angles it almost looked like my bracelet was not properly attached. I ended up selling it but maybe others can chime in. If others have the sky dweller with no issues where the bracelet meets the case. I don’t mean the lugs. I mean the actual bracelet to rounded part of the watch case.

Rolex Sea-Dweller 126600 is way more attractive in my opinion...

HL65 · 28 October 2018, 10:13 PM

SkyD

It looks more attractive because it's more sporty? This is my impression

SkyD is 42mm and SeaD is 43mm. But SkyD looks bigger due to dial diameter is larger.

rambo99 · 29 October 2018, 04:57 AM

wow! the skyD looks much bigger than the sd43. its thinner though.

ahlee00023 · 29 October 2018, 05:06 AM

Not a fan of either, but if I had to choose, I'd go with the sea dweller. SkyD's dial is too busy for my taste.

Interesting

Can you please post some pictures?
Oh, just missed it. You sold the watch.

DoctorA · 29 October 2018, 05:23 AM

Can’t go wrong with either! The skyD might be more versatile imo

brucethemanlee · 29 October 2018, 05:34 AM

SD43 for me...

however two completely DIFFERENT watches - not even in the same category on any level besides the same manufacturer

Different purposes and different wearability

BVLDARI · 29 October 2018, 05:36 AM

It really depends on your life and what you do. They are such different animals. I voted Sky Dweller assuming you only have one watch. If for example you had a DJ, a President and an OP I would have voted SD43.

azs.77 · 29 October 2018, 05:50 AM

Sky blue!

brandrea · 29 October 2018, 05:55 AM

I don't have a need for the complications on the SkyD. The SD43 is perfect for my needs.
