This is really growing on me. What do you guys think about the strap vs bracelet versions? I think the one on the bracelet may be too over the top for me. The chocolate dial is stunning. Do you think in the future you will be able to get the chocolate dial on a bracelet? I assume the bracelet would fit or is there a technical reason. I know the chocolate dial on the RG daytona strap was originally just offered on the strap but now you can get it on ta bracelet. Maybe a matter of time?

who knows in the future anything is possible with Rolex. I love the chocolate dial but I am not big on straps

I love the new RG Skydweller on bracelet and am waiting for it to come in so I can check it out!

I had the RG Daytona which wore near daily then my wife wore it for a second year, it is not over the top, and very subtle and classy, wait till you can check it out yourself before you write of the full RG bracelet they are beautiful!

Yep. I've tried them both on. Just like the chocolate dial better. Hoping that will be an option someday to get it on the bracelet. For those who have the strap version how does it wear? hmmm...maybe I'll revisit the rg dial or the store said the dial color was silver but to me it looked like rg. maybe the lighting?

Low carb diet or not I love me some chocolate. Another option if you want a RG bracelet too.

I think there is some technical issue ... you cannot fit the current chocolate dial sky-d with a bracelet. Somebody posted a thread on this topic few weeks ago ... I'll try to find it out and repost.

I personally prefer the bracelets because the gold feels AMAZING on the wrist ... warm and heavy!!!

My only issue with the dial of the chocolate dial sky-d is readability. I found the shiny metallic hour markers hard to read against the shiny metallic dial.

Haven't seen the RG-bracelet "in the metal" yet ...

Chocolate RG Daytona is available on a bracelet with a ceramic bezel?

Or are you talking about the BKSO, which I thought had a black dial?

Here is the thread on strap/bracelet interchangeability of sky-dwellers

I can't seem to get the RG Sky-Dweller off my mind. I have even sought help from others in doing so.

www777 · 15 October 2014, 06:57 AM

So it sounds like a dial change is possible vs changing the strap to a bracelet which isn't. That implies that rolex could introduce this model in the future like they did with the RG daytona chocolate dial on a bracelet which dial was originally offered only on a strap. You can have hope....

also month indicators have different colors ... on the RG strap version it is white ... on the RG bracelet version it is red. So, one has to change both dial and month indicator disc ... not sure if it can be done,

Not with ceramic bezel.

I really like the WG version with bracelet, but like the black dial. My ad checked and I can order the full WG version with the black dial from factory. However, my AD is in Canada and I'm not sure if the option is available in the US... I would assume it is and it's worth asking. Good luck!

www777 · 15 October 2014, 10:33 AM

Ok. Only if these three options were available vs just two and the third is theoretical. Rank your choice. RG on bracelet with the RG face, RG with chocolate dial on strap, RG chocolate,on a bracelet. Thx

I have an AD that claims he's spoken to Rolex and they watch will be released in the future.

I think the WG on black strap is awsome, tried it on recently and really is a stunning piece

All sky dwellers are beautiful
Go with your gut
I fell in love with the bracelet
