Do you find it is quite a casual watch?

Casual. Dressy. In between. Works with pretty much everything.

Thanks everyone for posting.

I had asked because I was truly worried about the size. But lately wearing my SMP almost exclusively has made me much more comfortable with a bigger watch.

And this watch is big. For sure. But it really feels great with the curved lugs. It’s also extremely well balanced. The folks in my office all say it’s their favorite so far. And my wife has randomly stated a few times already that she thinks it’s amazing and a perfect watch for me. She normally rolls her eyes at this point. So this is a nice development.

I don’t tend to “match” my watch. But I wear a lot of dark colors. So I wanted this in white. And it’s stunning.

Have to add that I got this from Berkjewel (Brad). This is my third or fourth deal with him. This guys is just awesome. A total professional from start to finish. Even his follow up is superb. His price was more than fair and his communication is excellent.

I highly recommend him to anyone considering a deal with him. He is 5 Star all the way.

I have followed this as I’ve peripherally considering a Sky D, either white SS or YG. This was a cool thread and a nice way to see how they look on others before buying... a very useful, and welcome, change of pace fro shortage/investment thread.

The white dial looks fantastic and looks perfect on your wrist. Congrats.

This might be an odd request, but can anyone post up a zoomed out photo? You can crop out your face if needed, but the wrist shots only show so much in terms of how big the watch looks size-wise in comparison to the body, and I'd like to see how much the watch stands out from a more zoomed out shot.

Anyone got any shots of the 2021 jubilee SkyD model? :)

I am on the list for one in black and I am looking forward to eventually getting one! I am a patient man. :D

Can anyone that owns a blue or black dial Sky-D and also a white dial weigh in if the white dial wears larger than the blue or black versions?

Why do you think that white would wear larger?

Yes white is noticeably larger if I put the black dial on it really looks smaller in comparison

Great wrist shots guys, this thread is making my feelings of lust for this watch even more pronounced.

I'm not going to go grey unless prices drop significantly, which I find unlikely in the near future, so I just have to hope my wishlist order comes in under 24 months.
