New Sky-Dweller with blue-green dial

Has anyone seen any useful pictures or videos of the new Sky-Dweller 336935 with blue-green dial in real life? It seems like everyone is focusing on the new Daytona, which I think is just ok. And while the stock photos of the new Sky-Dweller are amazing, it probably does not look quite this amazing in the flesh. Thanks guys!

It probably looks more amazing in real life. In my experience, watches usually look a lot better in person than in photos online.

This release is amazing, in my opinion. Such a unique and beautiful dial that is only on this one specific reference.

New dial color is a bit too extra for my taste. Not a fan at all. IMHO this is the best PM SkyD.

I think this watch is going to be absolutely beautiful in the flesh, but I kinda cringe when I see that Rolex ad with the watch floating in the clouds. Super cheesy.

I wish Rolex would use real photos of the watches on their website rather than computer generated images. Massive fail, IMO.

It is a solid gold (PM) watch. Thinking most are still looking for SS models. Most colors in that range of SkyD look killer. YMMV.

The slate dial/rose gold is by far my favourite SkyD.

The blue/green dial is gorgeous though from what I’ve seen online and will be way more of a hype piece than the slate will ever be..so next to impossible to obtain.

Valid, but how about pics in a nice first class cabin or private jet, or even better in a cockpit. The rose gold slate dial pic in the sky is okay I just find this latest cloud one a bit off.

This is the only one I’ve been able to find. My favourite watch from the new releases. I’ve been obsessed with Nautilus 5990 with blue dial and rose gold case but have no Patek relationship so no chance of getting that at retail and I’m not paying the the circa 250k on the grey market.

In conversation with watch friends over the last three months I’ve been wishing for a blue dial Skydweller in rose so this is the first time ever that a watch I would like to see released has actually happened.

I’ve already told my AD to put me down for this model.

The RG blue dial SkyD is gorgeous, however i'm still struggling to spot the green shade of the Rolex called blue-green dial. So far, to me the dial looks the same with the SS blue version.

Wow, that sure is pretty. But if I can't get a SS in blue, what are the chances that I could get this one?

Aside from the fact that I could buy a new BMW for what the RG version will cost...

From the picture I think this RG Blue-Green dial Sky D is the most gorgeous timepiece. It isn't blue like the one on SS model. I plan to have this one also.

I don't keep up with the SkyD as it doesn't interest me...but good lord this reference is stunning! I've never seen this combo before.

This new blue-green dial is so beautiful! I previously thought the slate dial w/ RG was the best looking but this one takes the cake now.

I can't wait to see this piece in person as I think it will be stunning. I had a similar conversations with my AD about the SS model in blue since 2018 wishing it was on Jubilee. When it was released in 2021 we texted each other at the same time saying Rolex finally did it. I finally got mine this January and it has been worth the wait. I hope you're able to get yours quicker.

The slate/black ring works really well for me. The other color combos, not so much. Why I went for white. Gets busy fast!

Wow thats stunning!! I texted my S A hours after the release. I never ever thought Rolex would make a combo that would make me consider getting rid of my Chocolate 935 but for this one I might. Wouldnt want 2 935's

But first things first, getting the call/text
