If you are looking for wrist presence try a white TT Sky Dweller.



The Sky Dweller is clever yet simple to use and live with. TT models represent somewhat of a "bargain" at the moment.

If I had a bigger collection I might want a DJ in it for completeness and because it's such an iconic Rolex. But I don't personally feel the need to have a watch that so closely resembles my Sky Dwellers. It might be a bit thinner and lighter, but is half as clever.

Thank you. I was taking my Z-Blue (now my wife's Z Blue) in for a repair and my AD had just received a consignment. Right place, right time, although the TT models are not in such high demand.

Safety wise, it's about situational awareness. It never hurts to be aware and alert without getting too obsessed about it. The list of possible precautions is endless but it's mostly common sense. By all means be cynical and don't give people the benefit of the doubt by default, but don't let an imagination that keeps you awake at night run riot. I've got some plastic junk that keeps good time in reserve for situations and places where I want to low tone it. They don't come out much but they have their uses.

Bottom line. Be responsible, have good insurance cover, enjoy your life.

The TT watches are in fact very much in demand! I’m not a fan of diamonds on a mans watch but there’s no denying that DJ is pretty nice. SkyDweller gets my vote…

Great photo.
Makes me think keeping my middle child DJ II with WG bezel is the right move as the cash needed for these slightly smaller and slightly larger models could be deployed elsewhere.

Arguably the most handsome TT ever.

Logic has a place in choosing a watch, but what you really want is a watch that steals your heart.

I always say that if you have to ask others which watch you should buy, your not ready to buy a watch, especially a very expensive watch.

I love them both. But the sky has a superior size and complication which gives it better upside

Go with the DJ. The existence of the SkyD is pointless…. looks like a DJ too
