Pepsi vs black/white skydweller

[Milibrk@]

Rolex produced less Sky than Pepsi however there is more demand for Pepsi. I have both (Pepsi and Blue Sky). Pepsi a little more comfortable to wear. Sky is a little top heavy. Hopefully you can get both..lol

[airchitect]

I really dig the sky-d, and between black and white I’d take black all day. But between it and a GMT things get a little opaque. The GMT is just about the perfect Rolex imho.

Sky Dweller by a comfortable lead. The movement in the Sky Dweller is in a completely different league. Forget everything else and look at their msrp and how Rolex values them. That is really the safest measurement as hype is no measurement of how good a watch is. The BLRO is a great watch but no way a BLRO of msrp $9800.00 is worth the same as a Sky Dweller in my horological world.

That said, the GMT is a more casual look where the Sky Dweller is more upscale looking. Personal style should be factored into the equation.

The BLRO really stands out with the colors and the Jubilee bracelet. No bad choice here, only options.

Does the white dial make the watch wear larger as opposed to the black dial? I much prefer white dials but I am thinking with my 6.5 inch wrist, the black dial may make the watch wear smaller.

Pepsi, it's a beautiful watch.

SkyD has a cool movement and ... it has a cool movement.

That white Sky Dweller is a stunner. Crispy clean and upscale wrist presence. It does not hide its greatness.

[Bigmozza]

Both great watches but if I had to choose one the Sky Dweller for me.

Skyd is a little more special

This.

[aff1]

I like the Sky Dweller more.

[Dini]

Pepsi for me!

[Seaswirl]

Pepsi or just about any sport model over the SkyDweller for me.

[427shark]

Hmm me personally I'd go for the pepsi. I appreciate the skydweller but never was crazy over the fluted bezel and kinda large oyster appearance. . . The pepsi imo is perfect, love the bezel and jubilee band

[YoyoGift8]

I will choose BLRO, not only because I like it more but also the fact that the SkyD is too big for my wrist.

[Jonah10]

Pepsi

I think most are buying the nickname and not the watch.
This is no contest. The 9001 movement is eons ahead of the 3285.

The Sky D complication with command bezel is an engineering marvel.

I sold a Daytona and a YM to get the one Rolex I really wanted to wear.: 326139.. I kept the GMT Ln but there is no comparison to the Sky...

Some of us just don’t like the Sky Dweller. Why would anyone buy based on the nickname? Glad you enjoy yours and I agree the command ring was an ingenious approach to an annual calendar.

[Harry-57]

A very rough and ready skim shows approximately a 3/2 split in favour of the BLRO. I thought the Sky Dweller would get crushed. It's closer than I thought.

A poll would be interesting.

I agree with you.
I like the LN better than Batman or Pepsi

I like the LN sub better than hulk but like the LV more than both

The Daytona was the biggest dissatisfaction for me. The watch was too small and really did not sing to me. I try to love it for 5 years but it did not get used much.

The YM is a fantastic watch but felt like a confused dstejust. Had it for 5 years. Never really loved it.

As a PAM wearer, the Sky is everything I wish a DJ was. Large, heavy and GMT.

Easy. Skydweller. Most complicated watch Rolex makes. I don’t mind the size on my 6.5” wrist.

[noshame]

Easy one for me ... BLRO!

[Max 66]

Let's start by saying that I will never ever buy a GMT at current grey market price, anyway among the two watches I choose the GMT Pepsi; compared to the Sky Dweller it is well proportioned (in terms of diameter & thickness), moreover the dial of the Sky Dweller is too crowded.

I’m the same with my YMII.

[LDN]

SkyDweller is a master piece! If you have the wrist for it, def the SkyD!

[Greg.A]

BLRO, what’s the history behind sky dweller? Don’t buy into hype

[B2 Stealth]

I stand with Stan! BLRO without question. Love mine.
