Thanks gentlemen. Each of you make a valid point. To complicate things even more, I now have another option - the WG Daytona on OF ref. 116519LN. It's selling for US 29k. I really like this reference but it's too expensive to add without letting one go. The SS Daytona seems to be the rational answer but it is one of my favorites. Sorry guys, I'm just all over the place.

The cushions are soft and flexible. I also have small wrists (circa 6.5") and no issues with my watches.

Normally, I would default to arguing to keep the AP...however, I had the chance to check out the Blue SkyD at a local grey dealer the other day and it really is a striking watch. I actually would do the trade.

im actually thinking of passing on the GMT pepsi and adding the blue sky dweller instead. Its really a nice piece and i hadn't tried it on in a year or even seen one since then so i forgot how nice it really is.

Don't do it, your collection is amazing, the SkyD is a trend watch IMO.

How did it wear compared to your ROO? Is it top heavy?

The one I saw recently was safely ensconced in its coffin, though I did briefly try one on maybe six months back and it felt absolutely fine. do note that I’m not very sensitive to watch weight or balance - the only piece I’ve had that was noticeable in this regard is the Deep Blue

I would pick the SkyD every time over the SS Pepsi...it would be a tougher call between it and the original WG BLRO, but even then I’d get the Sky Dweller

Mate.. If you already able to afford your current collections, I don't see why you will ever need to bump off any of your watches to fund for a sky dweller. I believe you can always add one in easily. Keep the ti. You gonna missed it once it's out of your watch roll.

I have been looking to add a watch with a GMT/dual time function. My top pick is the Patek 5164 but it's very hard to find. I currently have two chronos in my small collection of 4, the other being a ceramic Daytona. I am trying to limit my collection to 4 pieces so I am forced to adhere to the "one in one out" rule.

Finally tried the Sky Dweller but the TT white dial. It felt pretty good on my wrist compared to the 44 ROO but it didn't sing to me. Instead, my dealer located a Patek 5164 in Hong Kong for quite a premium. Some speculate that the price will still increase but I will be content knowing that it will just hold it's value if I decide to sell it. I've been wanting to add the 5164 for some time now. I have a feeling that it will be a keeper. Sorry for wasting your time but I'm grateful for everyone's input. Will post a wrist shot in roughly ten days.

If this was 2015 and they didn’t release the steel versions maybe but right now that’s a bad choice

Agreed. I’m generally content to bide my time, but the grey premium for the SkyD and 15400 blue dials is within the band where I may just give into my impatience.
However, the premiums for the 5726 and 5712 are still at a level where I can resist the siren’s call of an immediate acquisition. |

2 completely different beasts - the only thing they have in common is the dial color and that too changes for both.
I currently own both and am torn between changing by 15400 for the blue chronograph with silver sub dials. |
