We need to know your wrist size first??? If you tell me it’s sub 6.90” then the SkyDweller might be an issue all together. If you say your wrist size is 7” or larger then sell both DJ models for the SD. I cant see you ever wearing the DJ with a SD in the collection. The Sky Dweller movement is in another league than your DJ. That might be reason alone to get the SD providing you can wear it comfortably.

Both your DJ can easily be replaced so it’s not like you would be making a sacrifice to trade up for the SD.

I much prefer the Wimbledon in that configuration. The blue motif on jubilee, with fluted bezel is much too busy. The Wimbledon is much classier, IMO. Ditch the blue!

The Skydweller is great on my wrist. The size and lug width is very proportional. If it fits you comfortably, I would buy…it’s a very unique movement and design. No other watch is like it. Best to you!

I agree. Hate the blocky blue motif dial. Sell the blue dial.

Apologies for the late response. After picking up the SkyD, I had to attend to a social commitment. Here is a pic I took at the AD. For reference my wrist is approx. 7 inches.

I appreciate the love for the Wimbledon. However, the blue fluted motif is just a notch above that and is absolutely sensational in the flesh. One has to see it to appreciate the class and luster. This is nothing to take away from the Wimbledon which is gorgeous and therefore giving me the 'headache'.

I would like to thank each and everyone of you for your valuable insight.

I don't need a DJ if I have a Sky Dweller. YMMV. No right answer really.

Congratulations on yours. Looks real good.

I’d grab the SkyD if I was you, and drop one of your DJs. I would personally let go of the Wimbledon.
Agree with all these points

Let the Wimbledon go for the Sky-D

It's such an odd dial with that lonely lume plot at 12. Weird. Just weird.

Congratulations, OP! It looks great on your wrist!

Question--assuming that's the "Intense White" dial, is the white really white or is it the same off-white as the older version with a new name?

Thanks mate

I saw an older version at a secondary dealer and this one seem just a tad bit whiter although not too much. The Cartier Santos seems more intense white

Congrats. Sell the Blue DJ. The Wimbledon is special,
especially with your configuration.
