Sky Dweller Black Dial?

Is this a new dial finish in black for Rolex? I'm having difficulty finding comparable dials on other models.

Asked at an AD and they compared it to a DJ dial with diamonds, the sunburst did look good under lights

Whilst the hype is for the blue, thinking classic black or white may stand the test of time that bit better

The ADs will get the prototypes in the next few months so can view then

The black is the winner for me of the new SS trio by far!

You're right ! Same black sunburst dial.
I have a Oysterquartz Steel/WG which also has the same black sunburst dial(index). There is nothing new under the sky 😊
Gorgeous Dial !

Black or blue... This will be the question when the time comes. Both stunning.

I really wanted the blue but I think the black would actually be more fitting for me so I am leaning towards the black again instead.

Pictures like the one posted are the selling point. Looks really nice.

Black or blue would do. My only worry is will the 42 case fly on my wrist. Love the DJII 41 which is my just limit. That extra 1mm and thickness have to been seen in person

No, turns out it doesn't really. Some pics were misleading.

I prefer the blue in the SS but the TT with black dial looks amazing
