I think pricing it a couple of thousand less than the steel SkyDweller seems about right. People are already used to spending 5 figures on a steel Daytona, so there’s precedent.

Not sure I would necessarily buy one but given the popularity of SS models, these would sell like hot cakes - no less to greys where the markup would then be huge making you reconsider buying the PM versions. Lol....

I think it would be priced quite similar to the SkyD as it is still the flapship model, and the SkyD is empirically underpriced, but I was thinking more how not to upset PM owners by having a clear SS distinction.

I think the price gap would be enough, and they could not offer it on a President bracelet to differentiate it.

Absolutely would. Since I've retired I can't keep track of the days. Perfect solution.

Would majorly cannabilize demand for white PMs.
