I’m going to pick one up in the near future... for those of you with experience with both colors, which do you prefer?

I know the blue is at a premium and more popular but that white looks super classy online as well... not sure about in person though.

Hoping to try them both on in person but might not have the chance.

Thanks!

You're right that blue is the one that's in higher demand, but I think the white is classier and more striking.

However, I have to add that I've seen neither other than in pictures. I've only ever seen the TT white version.

smk210 · 31 May 2020, 05:29 PM

I'm personally a fan of blue and I think it's way better.

But if you don't want to own what is in vogue then you go for the white. But they're both classy.

Ihatecheese · 31 May 2020, 05:38 PM

Blue has been b popular the past 5yr to a decade with watch releases generally. I'd stick with white myself if I was holding on to it. Blue harder to match.

Moondoggy · 31 May 2020, 05:45 PM

but the blue looks better imo.

RJRJRJ · 31 May 2020, 05:49 PM

Blue harder to get, but I prefer the white.

Arden425 · 31 May 2020, 05:54 PM

I’ve seen and tried all colors, blue, black, and white. All of them look really nice but the blue dial is the clear cut winner for me.

Rolexrox · 31 May 2020, 06:14 PM

I had the choice of blue and white dial for my first Rolex. I went with the white one because it's pretty and striking.

I don't really find blue and black to be really different unless you are up close. I do agree though that blue is nice but only in certain angles.

Blue for me I've had mine for over 2 1/2 years and I still love it.

I like all SkyD's but in SS I would have picked the white or black.

BumbleB · 31 May 2020, 06:30 PM

I have a TT White and a SS Blue.

The white dial is mesmerisingly beautiful but SS is more versatile.

If I could only ever get 1 I would get the blue SS.

I would take any one of them, blue black or white. They are all stunning. They are all hard to get, blue being the hardest. I got lucky from a fellow member who hooked me up with a white one at his AD. I jumped on it. I couldn’t be happier.

kieselguhr · 31 May 2020, 06:45 PM

Have seen the SS in white in person. The dial looks stunning but I haven’t seen the blue to compare objectively. Too bad I don’t have the wrist to accommodate a Sky dweller

1William · 31 May 2020, 10:16 PM

I currently own the SS White Dial Sky-Dweller and think it is the one in the SS line-up. I have multiple black and blue dial watches and thought the white dial does it all. I am of the school of thought that white is not a color, so it is neutral when pairing with other items. I have owned several YG Sky-Dwellers and a WG bracelet version several years ago. All great watches but the SS is my current preference.

garyk · 31 May 2020, 10:20 PM

The white dial version is amazing to me but I agree Blue is more popular and really amazing too!

Bucknuts12 · 31 May 2020, 10:45 PM

White, I could have bought either. Stunning and clean!

KeithP · 31 May 2020, 10:57 PM

White.

enjoythemusic · 31 May 2020, 11:06 PM

Easy choice, get the one YOU prefer.

It's akin to asking about the preferred paint color of your car.

fsprow · 31 May 2020, 11:40 PM

I’ve had both the white and now the blue dial. Both are stunning and it’s a great watch but the blue is in my opinion by far the best.

Little machines · 1 June 2020, 12:11 AM

Ive had the white and truly enjoyed the watch . Blue is also stunning . I think you will be happy with the white considering you’re purchasing from a grey not AD you’ll save lots of $$
Good luck !!

They’re below list from a grey? Not around here

Harry-57 · 1 June 2020, 12:37 AM

Depends on what you prefer, and possibly what might already be in your collection.

I would have gone SS white if I didn't already have the Explorer Polar 42mm. At the time, I didn't have a black dial Rolex in my collection so I went SS black. Because I was buying used, blue was out of the question for me. The grey SS white and black premium is steep enough for me. The blue surcharge is not acceptable. Obviously, we each draw the line in a different place. If you really want blue, don't settle. You'll just end up buying twice.

JSolution · 1 June 2020, 01:11 AM

I’ve had all three, white is my favorite.

I dress formally every day and it is my favorite watch to wear on a daily basis.

My personal opinion on blue is this; it’s more playful for want of a better word. I am in meeting daily basis and feel black or white is a lot more of a formal/serious look. There are some watches I love such as the 116618LB but haven’t brought myself round to purchasing for this reason, I think blue looks great on others but for me personally and my character, it doesn’t suit me.

Side note the sky dweller is my favorite Rolex!

Blue is mesmerizing. White is crisp. Go with the one you are most drawn to.

gummy · 1 June 2020, 01:16 AM

Blue

Benzsiam · 1 June 2020, 01:28 AM

It's your watch, pick the one that you like the most and available to you.

We all know that the blue one is the highest premium, so it must be the most popular for general public.

Hollie_Rollie · 1 June 2020, 01:33 AM

Blue!

CKizzy · 1 June 2020, 01:34 AM

I have had experience with colors since I was about 1.5 yrs old so I guess that makes me an expert so, BLUE ;)

toptier · 1 June 2020, 01:37 AM

Blue only if near or at SRP.
