Hi Guys,

Could use your advice on this, I have a 2017 36mm Black Datejust diamond dial but I feel it looks small on my wrist. I am thinking about paying around $ 8000 and trading for the brand new skydweller white...any suggestions?

Thanks!!!

Have you tried on the Skydweller?

ws2017 · 2 December 2017, 04:25 AM

Nope, haven't tried it on.

Then that should be your first step

FreddyNJ · 2 December 2017, 04:32 AM

totally different animals in terms of size...definitely try it on.

Now, if you like it, I say go for it 100%

05carbondrz · 2 December 2017, 05:08 AM

Have you sourced a White SkyD?

pic of current watch on wrist??

ahump76 · 2 December 2017, 05:10 AM

I think that would be a very wise purchase . Most dealers have gold ones or two tons that you can try on as far as size. I have a deep blue which is a monster almost too big but the sky dweller is just about perfect.

36 mm is just too small in my opinion. A sky dweller is on the bigger side but just about perfect. I have a deep blue which is a monster and considerably bigger almost too big. I think that would be very wise purchase on your end. Good luck!

In terms of size, unless you have something like an 8.5" wrist, it's simply a matter of whether you like vintage style vs. a more modern and trendy style. Conor McGregor wears a SkyDweller, while Ryan Gosling wears a vintage 34mm.

Geez.. $8000 on top of the watch? Datejust really don't hot initial value well OR are you paying a high premium for the Sky-D?

A combination of both I’m sure.

nikesupremedunk · 2 December 2017, 05:52 AM

I'd rather keep the DJ and get another Rolex for $8k. Unless you must absolutely have the SkyD then go for it, but I'd rather add another piece.

ws2017 · 2 December 2017, 05:59 AM

this the one I have now

That watch looks great on you, size wise, and I wouldn't call it small at all, but, as I mentioned above, it simply depends on your style.

dave023 · 2 December 2017, 06:02 AM

For a DJ, 36mm is the perfect size.

Go for it! The skydweller in white is really beautiful.

peterpl · 2 December 2017, 07:32 AM

I would do this in flip without second thought.

Agreed. I don't think it's small at all

Looks perfect on your wrists. Better try the Skydweller before you buy. It may look like a frying pan on your wrist.

rolex75216 · 2 December 2017, 08:51 AM

Do what makes you happy. That is all the matters in the end. Price, cost, and all that other crap doesn't matter.

DavidUK · 2 December 2017, 09:14 AM

As you chose the DJ36 so recently the look must have appealed, so why not a DJ41 if you now feel the 36 is too small?

DJ36 is classic, DJ41 will be a classic, are you sure about the SkyD?

BTW, my DJ41 is running +/- 0 seconds per... 3 months since I bought it.

Jimbogigolo · 2 December 2017, 09:19 AM

Based on the pic I think that watch fits you well. The SkyD although is beautiful watch, will overwhelm your wrist.

You would be better to try it on first i think. A 36mm is always going to look different on the wrist to a SD, i don,t mind both sizes.

Paying a premium for anything that is still being produced is silly. Get on the list for a skydweller then when it comes in decide what to do with the watch you have.

brandrea · 2 December 2017, 11:19 PM

I'd never buy without trying it on first, is my advice
