It's a large watch that suits very few wrists.

At the moment they are a novelty due to the scarcity, eventually they will become more common and people will flip them when they realise the watches are too big for them.

8.5" wrist here and its perfect... but any less than 8, probably doesn't look quite so good imo.
It’s not much bigger then an AP ROC 41 or PP 5990.
Like I say I don’t think the price will drop.
I expect the prices will rise.

Agree, prices will continue to go up. It would take awhile for it to settle.

My AD says the SS SkyD is even less available than the Daytona C.

I rock it on my tiny 6.5” wrist too. Talking about wrist presence!

This is the second hottest watch after the Daytona
It certainly lives up to its reputation

I love mine, I think gray market price should be the MSRP anyway as it is the most complicated watch and still priced well below most annual calendars that are out there anyway.

I agree with you!
I don’t think Rolex who are market magician will let the most complicated watch ever produced to drop in price! Yes, I know for some people it’s big....... but what if in 2-3 years Rolex rise price on SkyD and cut production for this watch?
Then I want to see how much this watch cost on the grey market?
I say it again, it’s strange for me the most powerfull watch brand in the world Rolex sell his most complicated watch ever produced(this Rolex write on the official website) with 13150 euro(in Europe) only 2000 euro more then Daytona and with 4000 euro less then Yacht Master II!
Maybe I don’t understand Rolex way.....
