ss skyd black face vs wg skyd ref 326139

Hey

I am thinking about switching my new ss sky dweller black face against the discontinued white gold sky dweller on leather strap with white inner circle (ref 326139 )

What do you guys think ? How much should i pay on top ? Is it worth it ?

I love my ss sd but the discontinued wg sd with the numeral dial is just sick in a very positive way.

Looking forward hearing your thoughts.

br,

Sounds like the WG SkyDweller is what excites you. More so than your current watch. If you’re unsure, hold off for a while and try to find the watch you’re looking for so you can actually try it on. I think I saw the watch you’re talking about at Fourtane in Carmel, CA.

SS sky dwellers are doing quite well but you’re still looking to add a hefty sum to acquire what you want

The WG sky-dweller with arabic numeral and leather strap is the best configuration imo
The contrast with the white inner dial is beautifull, and truly a harmonious design

Unfortunately for me, my small wrist prevents me for ever living that dream. Otherwise it would be on top of my list

Using round numbers, let's say the WG is going to be mid to high twenties. Your watch is probably going to trade for 15k or so. So, there's a ball park that you're looking at, without taking other variables like age and condition into consideration.

br,

Why would you sell if you love your watch? You must be independently wealthy and can stand the loss on a trade, so go for it.

How much money are you looking at paying on top of trading the sky-dweller in for?

I saw a white gold blue dial at an AD. Despite being similar to my SS dial the heft and presence is definitely stealth awesome!

Prefer the old precious metal Skydweller dials over the newer stick variants. Worth it, really nice configuration. Discontinued now, future classic for sure!
