SkyD Blue

Hi All,

Wanted some general feedback on the SS SkyD Blue. Should be having a chance at one very soon so looking for impressions of the watch on the wrist and in the metal as I haven't seen one yet. All input is appreciated!

Bigger than most other Rolex. Most complicated Rolex. Well worth the coin

Beautiful watch but it definitely is a large watch. Not so big that it is cumbersome, but a sleek watch it ain’t.

I've had the DSSD before so not too worried about size but excellent feedback! Please keep it coming!

Great watch. I have blue and white. Blue is beautiful but if I could only keep one it would be white. Sure I am in minority on my preference. Good luck!

It has all the features, it’s easy to adjust, and it’s beautiful in every way. My AD tells me it’s harder to get than the Daytona at this moment.

It's an amazing watch with the best complication. I think that my only complaint is that it can be a little top heavy when your wrist gets sweaty and it slides down.

Had my blue for past month. Love it. Def wears smaller than my sd43. 6.75 wrist here. Still never seen one out in wild before.

I waited two years to get mine (had it over 6 months now). so... Ive had nearly every single watch the Crown makes and this piece is my favorite of all time! The whole thing is just perfection! The blue is just incredible! My only hit is that I don't care for it in a casual setting but that's ok by me

Excellent watch but thick. Not sure it easily pops under a shirt cuff but you cant go wrong with it if you have the wrist to support it. Buy with confidence.

Personally, it was my second blue Rolex (DJII being first). I tired of the blue being too much in your face as a color. Traded it towards a different blue.

Love the look of the watch, especially the blue dial but it just sat too high on my wrist for me when I tried a SkyD on.

It's to big in my opinion.
I saw a black steel one being sold today at AD and the assistant also showed me a white one they have and I tried it on for size.
Nice watches but to big.

One of my all time favorites! It has a lot to offer, especially at MSRP ... Beautiful blue dial (my favorite in the lineup), annual calendar, ring command bezel, dual time zone, WG fluted bezel, etc. Really a great overall package.

I have a black dial and love it. It's the most accurate Rolex I've owned. The annual calendar complication is tremendous. It does wear big but so what. I think it's the best value of any Rolex. You'll love it.

Incredibly impressive watch both in style and substance. Rolex really knocked it out of the park with this movement, which is incredibly Innovative and gets away from old-school pushers. It's my daily beater and gains about 5 seconds a month!

Buy .

Thanks for sharing the photos. I'm about the same size wrist and I've had the DSSD so thinking it should be fine.

I have sd43 and sky d wears smaller to me. If you can Rock a dssd then this will be fine. Fits both casual and dress occasions.

I agree, the Sky-Dweller wears small given it's MM size. Think how the Daytona is a 40MM but in reality wears more like a small 39MM, this is kind of what the Sky-Dweller is like when compared to other watches its size.

It's a stunning watch -- easy to set -- and not to big for my 7.25" wrist at all. The clasp is compact.

The watch has presence without being over the top. It wears well but must be fitted correctly as I found it moves a lot if too loose. The only cyclops watch I'll ever wear.
