skydweller all day!

samson66 · 30 October 2018, 08:52 PM

I have a blue Datejust II and to me that and the Sky are just too similar. You can pickup a DJII for half the price of the Sky, and then get the SD43 too, everyone wins

I ended up selling it but maybe others can chime in. If others have the sky dweller with no issues where the bracelet meets the case. I don’t mean the lugs. I mean the actual bracelet to rounded part of the watch case.

And what about the gap between the crown and the case??
Anyone owning a Sky D, don’t look. What’s seen cannot be unseen.
I flipped my black dial SS SkyD after I felt it looked boring. No offence, but it looks like an ordinary DJ. Bought the 126711 CHNR instead.
So, I would choose SD43, since I still own it and love it.

can someone post a picture of this "gap"?

ltmgeller · 31 October 2018, 05:15 AM

That blue dial on the Sky-Dweller

JBA · 31 October 2018, 05:46 AM

Sea Dweller!

R!$ · 31 October 2018, 06:10 AM

Sky-D for the complication, dial, and unique design

fishingbear · 31 October 2018, 06:52 AM

Both. I’ve got one and the other is on order.

SS Oyster · 31 October 2018, 07:04 AM

Are you a blingy "look at me" kind of person, or functional "does it's job and looks good" kind of person?

I love the sky dweller's complication, but really cannot get past all the glitz and glam of the PCL, bezel, etc. But, if you like that stuff, then the Sky Dweller will be your huckleberry.

fishingbear · 29 November 2018, 02:34 PM

If only one I’d pick the 126600 because I’ve had one for a while now and love it.
However, I’ve had a Blue Sky-Dweller on order since it was released. So both is the best answer, such totally different watches, form and function.

Md001 · 30 November 2018, 06:10 AM

SkyD blue wins my vote, maybe cause i hardly see it.

dwjez14 · 30 November 2018, 06:14 AM

Skydweller

abozz · 30 November 2018, 06:23 AM

I really love how Rolex made his Diver line of watches, SD43 for me.

Not really like the bezel of Sky-D. But love the dial. Thanks for the comments

Mr Kram · 30 November 2018, 06:36 AM

skyD for me. awesome complication and the cyclops is a deal breaker on the SD.

ap1 · 30 November 2018, 06:46 AM

Blue sky, easy

challer · 1 December 2018, 05:19 AM

Had both, kept the SkyD.

This logic seems to sum things up for some people that buy Rolex these days, it doesn’t matter which one you prefer, features, looks or whatever but which ever one is hardest to get, for bragging rights I suppose, bizarre.

I really like the Skydweller but prefer the looks on the wrist of the SD43.

challer · 9 December 2018, 07:48 AM

I owned both. Sold the SD43. The SkyD does I all. If I’m going to do any timing I’ll use a digital timer. The SkyD in PM overshadows the DD. The perfect everyday tool and dress watch.

dwjez14 · 9 December 2018, 07:50 AM

Skydweller better all around watch

Chadridv · 9 December 2018, 08:32 AM

So different. No right or wrong here. Personally I’d prefer the sky-d

TakeYourTime · 9 December 2018, 09:42 AM

I don't see a gap at all!
Here both in comparison. I vote for the SkyD but I like them both a lot!

The SD43 will be stealth as it looks like any other black Sub to most people. The fluted bezel is just the opposite as it puts on a light show. This is a personality question and not a watch question.

Sky-Dweller White Gold Bezel (Rolesor) incl. Links and EL = 179,7 grams

ace12 · 9 December 2018, 11:41 AM

A tough choice right here, i would go for Sky-Dweller either choice you can never go wrong.

datejustrms · 9 December 2018, 11:49 AM

Sky-Dweller

SS Oyster · 9 December 2018, 12:00 PM

Sea Dweller all day long - rich history, Mk1 dial for 50th anniversary

Tool watch with wrist presence without the Vegas bling of that fluted bezel

Sky Dweller because I just bought one!

Also the AC/GMT complications are very useful to me. They’re handled and presented in such unique ways.

dwjez14 · 9 December 2018, 01:06 PM

Sky blue. Better for daily and dress. Great wrist presence

returntorolex · 9 December 2018, 01:21 PM

50th Anniversary for me + I have a couple blue dialed Rolex already.
