Because of the much love that I have for Day-Date, I won't give a thought before letting the Skydweller go.

Both amazing watches but that particular DD40 is the keeper! Don’t let it go. It’s impossible to get and won’t be around forever - probably not much longer. Keep it and enjoy it!!

I let my DD40 Olive go last year to trade up and miss it dearly, one of the very few watches I regret selling - and for $28k none the less.

I've owned both of them as well and I sold the Olive DD40 and kept the Chocolate DD40. Still got the RG SkyD and the YG DD40
Yes that is great combo. The DD is classic but the SkyD is very interesting and I just love the presence of the watch on my wrist.

Among the 4 precious materials that Rolex offers, the everose is the last in my ranking, nevertheless the DD RG Olive Green dial is an outstanding watch.

I say if money isn't an issue, you keep both and add whatever you wish to the collection.

Thank you. Some more SkyD lovers here.
