Regarding the GMT issue, I don’t think you can resolve a 1/2 hour issue in your case. However, the GMT will still provide the proper hour difference from your home time to your local time. You will only have to remember whether to add or subtract the 1/2 hour. Ultimately, you have to decide for yourself whether the features of the SkyD or GMTs are of value to you. For me, the SkyD is one of the best deals in watches. |

Without a second minute hand, no gmt watch will really help in areas with 30 minute UTC offsets. Some say older Rolex GMTs with many more clicks on the bezel can recognize the offset but I could never distinguish it.

Oh really? The 1/2 hour time difference can be solved with a rotating bezel? Please let me know how do you think it could be possible because I searched all over the internet and didn’t find any article or video about that. Would be really helpful if you think it could be solved and throw some more light on it

My AD said it will take a long time before I see the watch returned, as Rolex shut down for a month and there are only 5 Rolex watchmakers that can work on sky dwellers. |

I am contemplating on the SkyD, love the functions and the whole design. Most likely will get a TT, but can't decide on dial colour..... Sent from my HTC_U-3u using Tapatalk |

I haven't tried on any other face colors, but I can tell you the Blue faced SS is "Stunning" in person. It's not too heavy and I have a smaller wrist, still fits like a glove and very comfortable. IMO, very reasonably priced, considering its a complication watch. I like the fact that you don't see many and I'm told there are only 5 Rolex watch makers certified to work on them, apparently very slow production. Good luck |

Just read through all 858 posts! This is currently my favorite Rolex as I think it looks great with any dial and in any of the metals, although I think the earlier versions in precious metals with the numbers and Roman numerals looked very luxurious and warm! I say all of this not having ever owned a Rolex, but trying to get into my first one. It will likely be an SS model, but like a lot of people out there, I like the blue dial the best, but see it going used for $23k; $9k over MSRP! I won’t spend that kind of money. Tried on a Rolesor with black dial version yesterday at my AD and that may be the ticket. I am a muscular dude, so I like the look of a 42mm+ watch on my wrist; anything smaller in case diameter tends to look a bit too small.
Anyway, thanks everyone for the great pics and info. I hope to be able to post a pic of mine in this thread in the future. I also really like the new Rolesor version of the Sea Dweller that was released in 2019! I wish Rolex would do the YM 42mm in SS on their Oysterflex bracelet too! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I’ve seen a TT White dial NIB listed in the for sale section here below MSRP by one of the trusted seller. I went with the SS White dial, the white dial looks so dreamy in person. I will post photos once I have a chance. Good luck in your search. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Third time falling for a Sky-Dweller. By far the most beautiful watch I have ever owned. The rosegold and rhodium constantly change their look depending on lighting. I just stare at this thing for entertainment

I like viewing this thread as I am becoming a fan of the SkyD watch.

I just got a new sky dweller. I love the complications and how it looks. But I have a question. I notice that when I change the hours alone from position 2, and I passed midnight, the date changes forward appropriately. But if I go backwards past midnight again it does not reverse. Is it supposed to do that or does my watch have a problem? If it's supposed to do that I can't understand the logic. Anybody have any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

Due to this I personally find GMT master to be better suited for travel. But, on the other hand, unlike sky-d, it doesn’t have a quick set date. Enjoy your new watch! |

Regardless, love the watch. I was looking for more of a "dress watch" but wanted to be able to feel comfortable wearing with Jeans and a T shirt as well as a suit. Thought hard, and in the end decided on a 326933 with a white dial. My fashionista daughters gave me the thumbs up so that's good It is definitely a large watch but it fits comfortably on my wrist (7 1/4"). Not a problem at all. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk |
