Great choice, although luckily you couldn't have made a bad choice!
Congratulations and wear it in good health!

LVC for me.

I brought more than 10 Rolex new and planning to buy a lot more, plus a few used ones, SD white has never been in my radar, nor in the foreseeable future. Blue one might be.

Enjoy the Hulk!

I'd say that a decision between these two must be mostly subjective, as the only objective reason to prefer one over the other is that the sky is harder to get.

Only watch I ever owned and gave away because I didn’t like was the ceramic green.
Sky-D in a split.
Most unique and comfortable watch I own.

Congrats and hope to see some pics soon...

Aft years of swapping and changing watches I’ve ended up with the hulk and a white face sky dweller as my two watches and I still can’t decide which one to wear but I couldn’t sell either of them by choice as I think it’s a great 2 watch combo

I’m definitely in the minority but the sky doesn’t “speak” to me.

Hulk is a 2018 and sky Dweller also 2018, stainless steel white dial.
Sky Dweller is £1500 more.
Which would you buy and why?
Sky-Dweller

I didn't like the Hulk when I first saw it in pictures. I thought... who would wear a green watch?

Then I saw it in person and everything changed. It's a stunning piece!

Here is what you do. Flip a coin. If you are disappointed with the result, you know which one you want more.

I can get an LV in 24 hours. I still hate it. SkyD has much more to offer, aesthetically and technologically.

This is what stops me buying a 40mm Rolex sports/pro model for myself. Wish Rolex had an 'XL' size for all their watches :)
