Does the addition of a stainless and a two tone model push you to adding one to your collection?

Personally for me I'm now lusting after the Stainless.

EmpireCity · 24 March 2017, 12:40 AM

The stick dial does it for me and the stainless offering makes it attainable grail territory *one day*for me!

zoenoadad · 24 March 2017, 12:40 AM

Yes, most definitely. But I'm not getting on a list just yet, going to wait and see what demand looks like and if any discounts are available from either ADs or TSs. But I've wanted a SkyD for a while now and the SS/two-tone options brings it into my price range.

Camel · 24 March 2017, 12:45 AM

I loved the Sky Dweller since it's launch, but can't afford a precious metal watch and don't like them either. In stainless steel I want one, but will wait and see what the used market will do.

Bluside · 24 March 2017, 12:47 AM

It's nice but not for me. Too busy.

anothernewphone · 24 March 2017, 12:49 AM

I can see myself buying a gently used one in a couple years after everything settles down.

This is what I was thinking as well. That blue dial looks amazing in pictures, and the SD is finally (more) obtainable now that it's not PM.

jbsmith · 24 March 2017, 12:55 AM

Didn't see this option...
"No, b/c I already have in PM."
For the SkyD, I prefer the weight and aesthetics of YG, not to mention I also like the silver dial with romans and contrasting GMT wheel better than the sticks of SS/TT. I am bummed that it didn't stay PM only, but every Rolex watch offered in PM is usually offered in SS, with the exception of the DD, which in that case you have plenty of DJs to pick from.

Sorry about the oversight; good point!!! You could still buy one!!!

LLPavorsky · 24 March 2017, 01:02 AM

I immediately put a deposit down yesterday for the SS/Blue dial version...now for the wait

Ruud Van Driver · 24 March 2017, 01:05 AM

I'd chop my BLNR in for one

Wcdhtwn · 24 March 2017, 01:05 AM

I voted I'll buy but need to see it first. Can't pull the trigger based on photos alone.

rw2008 · 24 March 2017, 02:10 AM

There needs to be a "waiting to see it in person" option.

But let's just say my BLNR is nervous right now, and I love my BLNR.

Muzz · 24 March 2017, 02:56 AM

I will be a player for the SS without a shadow of doubt. Great piece and I have a slot in the collection for that!!

Can't afford a PM watch? You have 10 Rolexes in your sig.

DocHorton · 24 March 2017, 03:02 AM

I can't wait to see them in person, hopefully the blue is the same color as the blue on the YM dial.

brandrea · 24 March 2017, 03:06 AM

I appreciate the movement and what the watch has to offer, but for me I gravitate toward simple easy to read dials.

Unfortunately, I fear I would tire of the Sky Dweller.

AK797 · 24 March 2017, 03:10 AM

This or the Daytona for me.

subking86 · 24 March 2017, 05:42 AM

I will definitely be searching for a used one in a few years. I'm torn between the blue and the white dials though. Good thing I don't have to choose now!

osamu · 24 March 2017, 06:06 AM

I used to really love the SkyDweller, but now feel like it is too big and flashy for me personally.... still the stainless option definitely is interesting. If I were in the market for a DJ, I would be hard pressed not to save up a bit more for the SkyDweller.

I'll say, I want one, since I still love the design of it, but not really in the market for that style of watch right now.

I phoned my AD with a firm order for the SS Sky-Dweller with blue dial within an hour of the watch appearing on the Rolex web site, I'm number 12 on the list!!!

joli160 · 24 March 2017, 06:19 AM

Still saving up for a PM one, I'll be patient and not be tempted

Is the quota about 2 per colour per month per AD? So there are Daytona C vibes all over. I am also on waiting list with Sky Dweller blue, second place so i should get it.

Johnv · 24 March 2017, 06:31 AM

Love the Skydweller over the old and new Seadweller!

What thickness is the Skydweller? Can't find it on the Rolex website.

diverdoug · 24 March 2017, 10:10 AM

Why shouldn't you get a Skydweller? Because if you wear one it will always be August 28!

x2 - I think is was 14 but I thought I read yesterday that the new case is thinner... maybe I am making that up

kilyung · 24 March 2017, 11:06 AM

I'll eventually add one - thinking the black dial.

dreamcar88 · 24 March 2017, 11:09 AM

Buddy is in the market and sent me a pic of this. Wonder what the wait list will be

Tj O'Reily · 24 March 2017, 11:23 AM

Yes. Blue is on the horizon.
