SS Skydweller or SS Daytona C
Debating between these two. What are the general thoughts? Thanks

Depends on your collection, although I'd go with a Daytona

Try them both on as the skydweller wears much larger and thicker. Two very different pieces. Daytona would be my preference but if that means paying a substantial premium, maybe skydweller now and Daytona later.

Daytona by a mile. I respect the SKD but have no desire to wear one.

I have the non ceramic Daytona, and love the way it wears. But I am a fan of the new SD and would consider swapping my BLNR for it. I am not sure that it is such an easy decision between the two you are looking at. My Daytona actually wears a bit small so I think it really depends.

Skydweller for me if it came in 40mm. I have more use for its complication than I do a chronograph.

I saw the new SkyDwellers today at Baselworld, through a glass display window, and it is a big, hefty looking watch. The steel version makes it a more usable piece and the complication is a nice feature, I really like it.

Toss up. The SS Sky Dweller is a tremendous value as far as luxury watches go.
I have my 116500 but if offered an even trade...id pass up and keep my Daytona. |

Both, of course.

for me who has a PM ceramic daytona i'd rather have a skydweller in stainless steel.
definitely better than getting a daytona in steel - forcing me to buy the PM SKD. lol rather not. |

You may be able to get the skydweller first. I'd take the Daytona

Joking aside, Daytona. |

Which function would you have more need of? Chronograph or GMT/AC.
