SS Sky-Dweller White Face
Just got a call from my AD this morning telling me she has the watch. Problem is this - I wanted the blue face. She says that one is the hardest to get and will take quite a while. I'm thinking of just pulling the trigger on this one. Thoughts?

If you want the blue dial one, I would wait.

The white dial is an amazing piece, however if you were really set on the blue, then take a pass on this and leave it for someone that really wants the white (such as myself) :)

Is it not possible to buy this one a get a dial change later down the line? The white face in my opinion is the best version of this model it’s super crisp and will be ten times more versatile!

I think you should wait. Buying because something is there is usually a route to losing money. If it’s blue you want, wait for it. Your AD will know you are serious when you turn it down.

Get it. Keep the stickers on it and if you don't like it, flip it for the blue one.

Just wait for what you want. I’ve been waiting for my watch for 4 months. The AD has offered every version except the one I ordered. It’s tempting to jump on one. In the end, you are paying a good buck, might as well get why you want. After 10 years of ownership you won’t remember the wait time but you will always have to look at the face of the watch. Be sure it’s not a face of regret.

Always get what you want. There have been many a flip and loss by those who get something that’s “pretty similar and nice.”

The white looks sharp, but that blue is really striking imo. I can see why you're considering waiting. I personally would hold out for a blue.

I think all of the new variations are awesome. Be steadfast if you know the blue is the one you want...I personally love the white. Not any more or less, just really like it as well. My buddy has a black dial and I thought it was going to be just ok but it’s awesome too...the new dial layout is just perfect. Can’t go wrong with any of the SS versions.

You owe it to yourself to at least try it on in person if you have not done so already. But as others have pointed out, buy it only if you WANT it and not because its available. Nothing worse than a $15K+ regret.

Make sure you have the wrist for white, white always appears larger imho. I’d probably take it as blue seems very hard to obtain

A buddy of mine has the white/cream dial SS Sky Dweller, and I did not think I would like it, but in person it is actually a very stunning watch! Go for it!

You should go see it in person. I was in same position in early September with my AD. I ended up buying the white, which reads towards silverish in indoor/artificial light. It’s the perfect complement to my BLNR in my two watch collection.

I prefer the white dial and if an AD called and told me the blue arrived I would not change my mind to blue. I say stick to what you want. It’s simpler in the long run.

All three of the dials on the stainless steel Sky-Dwellers are beautiful in their own way. I feel about them the same way I feel about the stainless steel Daytona models. You can't go wrong.
I got the black dial version. I love it. Would have been just as happy if I had gotten white. I've seen the blue in person and it's very pretty, but I like the black or white dial variants more actually. I might be in the minority on this, but doesn't really matter as much as I'm the one wearing my watch.

Get the white and then a blue DJ 41 Jubilee :)
I personally like the white better on the SkyD. I actually passed up the blue right as they were coming out because I wanted the white. |
