Get the SkyD 10000%

The Hulk is overhyped watch that has no special complications and the green will get old sooner or later.

The SkyD is a annual calender. There is no comparison.

Having owned both at one point, the sky dweller was the shortest. Although the sky dweller is one of Rolex most complicated watch (yachtmaster). Make sure it fits your wrist. Sky dweller is a very classy but hefty watch. Personally I’ll go with the two tone with black dial sky dweller as I feel it’s more elegant but that’s just personal preference. Remember, if the size fits, skydweller should win over your heart easily.

Even though I think the SkyD is too big I'd go skyd. It's just a really neatly engineered watch.

If the dial option was black or blue, I'd go SD. Not a fan of the white, so given your two options, I'd go Hulk all the way.

My rational on going with the Black or Blue dialed SD's, is that unless the LV becomes discontinued for good (99% chance of that NOT happening), the LV will be easier to source down the road if you decide you'd like both pieces in your collection. Good luck!

This is tough and I honestly think it depends on your current collection.

The SD is gorgeous, useful, and can be dressed up or down. But, it’s a very substantial watch and you know you’re wearing it at all times.

I used to hate the Hulk, but I was converted and I own one. It’s gorgeous and the dial differs based on lighting. I feel it’s strictly a casual watch and is difficult to dress up. But I’m sure others feel it can be.

There’s also a substantial price difference. If that’s not a factor I’d say get the SD as I feel at retail it’s a safer bet. But I wouldn’t blame you to take the Hulk and put the $5k towards something else.

Can you get both?

The Sky Dweller is a horological masterpiece. I'd go for that in a heartbeat.

LVc >>>>> daylight >>>>> no watch at all >>>>> SkyD for my money.

However, as others have said, depends how they look and feel when you try them on. Some people will be better able to pull off a SkyD than others.

Skydweller to me is the overall better watch. Wears fairly large though compared to the sub. Also keep in mind that there is a high probability that the Hulk will be discontinued this year...if that matters to you

Which would you buy and why?
What is the point of asking what people would choose? Living for and through others?
Live your own life without fear...take the one you like !!

I love both watches but to me the Sky-Dweller has a better size, better look and more useful complications.
