Why aren’t there many SkyDweller threads?

I tried one on last week- had to finagle a private appointment, mask on and hand sanitizer before and after. It’s big, no question, but I think it depends on what you’re wearing now. I had a TT DJ until several months ago, thought I could be happy with a GS SD diver. Big watch- 44 mm diameter, 14 mm thickness, and on my small wrist. Amazing how quickly I’ve come to really like it, though.

I think trying one on is essential.

YMMV

This is a part of the appeal for me. Like a Q car.

I love the technology, but the watch design is big, bulky and flashy, I'm not a fan.

I like the reference but one little thing that bugs me...why couldn’t they match the colour of the inner ring with that of the dial.

Jona that guy just proved your signature.

The current Sky-D line up doesn’t have much contrast between the ring and dial. The first ones did but that was much more noticeable on large hi-res images than on the wrist.

Or traveling

I was very fortunate to get a blue dial last year. After trying hard to bond with it I couldn't get past the size on my wrist. I just don't think the large watch aesthetic works for a watch that looks like the SkyD.

I will probably be cursed for this but I put a NATO on a blue Sky-Dweller just to see how it looked (not going to be my daily wear

[Jona]

I think that NATO looks good, surprisingly.

[DJ39]

It’s not in the sports watch family, so it is less talked about

But still beloved

Another vote of love for the blue NATO strap :)

I hope that this is not a slur on the awesome DJ

It was my only watch for a long time and is my daily wear now

Its almost identical on the black dial, one of the main reasons I chose it over others.

Still never came across someone wearing one out in the “wild”.

Most are in a safe with box and papers, never worn in the hope that they make a killing in 30 years

[Calatrava r]

At 42mm, it is too large for me to wear. I like the look of the TT white dial and it can be obtained at retail from an AD. I just could never wear it.

It wouldn't be my only Rolex, but deserves a a place in my collection! When you're used to wearing DDSD, Omega Planet Oceans, etc., it feels like a small dress watch.

Actually, with regards to the black dial SkyD, it is black, but is in fact a matt-black. But only visible with a loupe, of course.
However, for all of those that are averse to scratches, I would recommend that one shouldn't spend too much time scrutinizing the watch!

[Rado63]

If you have the wrist for one, then it's a stunning piece. Most enthusiast haven't even been able to see one in person because the AD won't have one to show you. I have seen the Full Everose, The Yellow gold and the steel bluedial. I think each is a beautiful watch.

[Harry-57]

I would prefer more contrast between the dial and 24 hour disk. Of the SS models, I think the white has the most contrast, the black the least. I still prefer the black overall.

I keep looking at TT whites. Note to self: Don't.

The dark rhodium is just gorgeous, and has good contrast. Note to self: Don't.

[Wck88]

Limited availability I guess

[cuibono]

Too busy enjoying it :-)

I think cause there are more popular models to get

[lamnyc]

My AD was pushing their TT sky dweller. My guess was no one is interested.

[daveo5]

I stopped in at the Rolex boutique in Wynn’s LV the day the sky dweller was announced. They showed me the only one in stock. Stainless steel with 18K WG bezel(?). I thought it was looking like a Breitling dial. Didn’t like it at all and for $17,500.00 definitely not interested. Still not after all these years.
