Go for the white face or wait a looong time. If you don’t care about the annual calendar, just buy a dj41. Me? I use the GMT function for travel.

Be careful that’s a classic trap. You think you will be okay with the other dial and then after you buy it the regret creeps in. If it means getting booted off the list for blue I’d hold out!

Congrats. White is so clean and crisp, I had the choice of all 3 and chose white as in the flesh it’s stunning.

It really is. It is also dressier. You can stay on your lists and keep waiting and waiting for your overrated blue dial. Have fun!

Congratulations OP on an excellent choice.

White shows the features the clearest in my opinion.

+1. No comparison, turn down if you want blue. I have turned down black and white. If you take the white you will never get blue offered to you.

White dial is beautiful, elegant and crisp. If I was in the market for a SD I would definitely go for it.

Wait as she will get a blue and the white will possibly be taken by someone higher up the "blue que"

I already decided on the white as you can see from all my posts. Those waiting on the blue can have fun. I am enjoying my much dressier white face annual calendar. Everybody always wants what they can't have.

Please don't get it. You will hate yourself for settling. It's like the person that buys a Tudor because they can't wait for a Rolex. That's why Tudors are the most flipped watches. Thanks

I’m sure you’re happy with that dial color and calendar combo. It is the most sensible one for the SkyDweller IMHO.

The red month marker stands out proudly against the white dial. And the 2nd TZ is not distracting compared to other dial colors.

Later today I switched to wearing my GMT II Batman and I must tell you it is a more comfortable every day watch. Very happy with my SD but it is heavier and clunkier and chunkier. Nothing beats my GMT II Batman for everyday wear. Had a black tie gala last night my SD really shined.
