I'd go for the ap which isn't trying hard to be a cool watch, it just is.

I agree generally, however the sky-dweller is about the only Rolex i would buy currently. Is it controversial and big for a rolex, sure. But so is the YM II but the sky-dweller has way more going for it than the YM II.

AP and PP are on a different level clearly but there is something about the sky-d that is appealing. Blue dial sky-d vs. blue dial ROC the ROC wins. Im not as keen on the other dial options of the ROC though and I would take the sky-d over those in a heartbeat.

Your opinion. Personally I think the Skydweller is an incredibly ugly watch, the YM2 being much more pleasant visually. However, of course, the SD is more of a dress watch than the YM2, the latter much more 'sporty' in appearance.

After having many rolex watches i took 26331st panda as my first AP. Its stunning piece and abosultely different level. I dont think will be buying a new Rolex in the near future. Will send you the photos of it but its my first message also on the forum.

I would get the skydweller, but get what makes you happy. You can always get the other one in the future
