definitely not. I'd much rather have the Daytona. SkyD is too large and thick for me.

If you like the fit and are fed up with the Daytona then why not. It’s certainly a fair trade IMO

Curious to know how both of these watches manage to fit you - my guess is that one does not fit you if the other does. However, if you’re happy with the size of both, I’d take the skydweller as it’s a bit more special

No doubt. Sky dweller is horrible with that decentered circle in the middle. Daytona top.

I would never trade a black Daytona for the SkyD.

I have the black Daytona.

I have both...I think the blue Sky D is a nicer watch.

Depends on wrist size: can you manage the bigger size of the SkyD ?

Nah, I'd keep the Daytona. The Sky Dweller might go out of style at some point, but the Daytona never will.

Either way works. (For WG Blue Sky D. of course) I think I personally like the Daytona more than the sky d, and perhaps more than any other watch other than the GMT Master. I would ask yourself, if you had to spend 50+k on one watch would it be a RM or a Patek?

RM --> consider keeping the Daytona, it is more sporting.

Patek --> consider the trade for the Blue Sky D, it seems to share some similar design ethos: venerated, restrained, but authentic.
