Get the Daytona... Do not pay premium.

Jimbogigolo · 23 December 2017, 02:01 AM

For me skydweller. I have a big wrist and the skydweller fits the bill. There’s just more features with the skydweller that are more useful to my life that a daytona does not offer.

Sorry - missed this. It was the roadshow mock-up version. Feel was good. Not as top heavy as a Deep Blue for sure. My wrists are 6.75 but honestly felt that this is at the upper limit of what I would wear. A bit like my DDII.

On a couple of lists for the blue but haven’t heard a peep yet.

A lot of watch for the $$$

If I had neither I would get a Daytona

Old thread as I've had my SkyD for almost half a year now and a DaytonaC as well!!! Truth is that I really like the SkyD much more that the Daytona. For some reason the Daytona's lack of date really spoils the watch's usefulness for me. I hate looking at my wrist for the date and not finding it.

OgSnowflake · 23 December 2017, 04:20 AM

Daytona for me... clasp on the skydweller lacks a flip lock. Minor little ohhhhh your just being picky reason but I’m weird I just think that little flip lock makes so much difference.

Both?!? Well done.

Congrats due there for sure. I’ve always been partial to the Daytona and think a date would ruin the symmetry of the dial so that isn’t a showstopper for me.

Dates can definitely be done right. I find no issue with the date on my Mark II as far as symmetry is concerned. FWIW, not aware of a Tudor Chrono without a date.

It's a daily decision for me. Sky Dweller does not wear as big as it seems for my 6.75 in wrist, but it is heavy and the white is pretty bold. Daytona just feels great, elegant and versatile. I'm getting rid of a bunch of other watches because these two have captured my attention.

Love the Skydweller, especially the white dial version. Never been a Daytona fan. The crown guards ruin it for me

HK Islandboy · 24 December 2017, 12:23 PM

Skydweller. Love the size and complications

ahump76 · 24 December 2017, 02:46 PM

Made sure and got Daytona first

Cant wear a watch without a date and that is why the Daytona is the only Rolex I will never buy :) but I bought almost every other model and I got a Sky-D and its Amazing! the ring command is just such a cool feature.

for me, simply put... Daytona. But there are a lot of factors.

yannis · 17 January 2018, 06:14 AM

SS Sky Dweller for size, complications, power reserve, feel on the wrist.

bobernet · 17 January 2018, 06:45 AM

Both is always the right answer.

Ocdoc · 13 February 2018, 05:48 PM

Sky dweller ..it has more complications and a much more practical watch
You get a gmt and an annual calendar ... best value and also most complicated Rolex watch to date .. hands down

G'ed · 13 February 2018, 07:30 PM

No date make the decision easy. I need date.

16610v · 13 February 2018, 07:33 PM

daytona for me

topgear · 13 February 2018, 09:07 PM

DaytonaC if you can get one to buy.

SkyD should not be that difficult to get.

Spoonage · 13 February 2018, 10:35 PM

I went DaytonaC now, and will add SS SkyDweller later.

drmizzou · 14 February 2018, 12:07 AM

Daytona then skyD

landroverking · 14 February 2018, 12:16 AM

I would buy a Skydweller only after a Daytona.

joli160 · 14 February 2018, 12:33 AM

Easy choice

mahefa · 14 February 2018, 01:25 AM

I have both. Daytona is a classic, but i would not think a second if i would have to choose.

Sky-Dweller 100%.

UmichNJ · 14 February 2018, 01:58 AM

I have both and my Sky-Dweller gets a lot more wrist time given it’s functionality.
