The Sky Dweller on Jubilee does not require a large wrist IMO. I have a 6.75 in wrist and my SkyD feels just fine...have worn an IWC 3717 in rotation which is the same size and felt fine to me for years so used to this. The jubilee is very comfortable. The only issue is that this combination of fluted bezel and jubilee is a bit more dressy and loud IMO than say a Sub or 116500 so I tend not to wear it when I'm just kicking around, going to a ball game or whatever. If I was going to have only 1 watch probably the Sky would not be my first choice (a Sub would be) but as a second watch? It's a beauty and it's nice that it's an annual calendar!

Depends on wrist size. GMT fit for me was perfect. The Skydweller felt to big.

That would be the 6542.



Plenty for sale, all be it in widely variable conditions.

Each to our own. I prefer the 126710BLRO.

Broader population and a lot easier to just check grey market prices.

What will people pay? All you need to know.

Have both, voted for the BLRO given the heritage of the model.

This is a tough one, if they are both modern, I’d go with the SD. If we can go back to the 5 digits, I’d go 16710.

I gotta go SkyD because it is perfect for what it is, whereas the pepsi colors Rolex didn't hit a homerun to me. Actual pepsi colors are vibrant blue and red. Rolex pepsi colors on the ceramic version are navy and almost maroon. That said, in terms of comfort and size, agree on the pepsi jubilee points.

SkyD has a much better movement for travel than the GMT.

My two favorite Rolex models. But have to go with THE original aviation watch, the iconic BLRO.

Oyster any road up... Jubilee, the fluted bezel, the bigger size and heft are just too much bling.

Jubilee are for DJ, or older GMTs, IMHO.

I prefer the Pepsi. It’s just an asteroid thing. I love the o,d school configuration and it’s so comfortable and slim.

Yes, I'm not really sure. If Sky, it's just a white dial on the Jubilee, although Pepsi is definitely more comfortable. If it is to be a watch for everyday wear, I would point to Pepsi.

Pepsi for size. Skydweller is too large for me and I have average sized wrists. It is top heavy/bulky.
