Definitely the Sky Dweller, with it’s complication, size and the beautiful fluted bezel it’s in a different league in my opinion

42itus · 23 January 2021, 05:02 PM

Can you go to a grey and try them both on? If you can pull off the Sky Dweller then that’s a very nice watch.

Pepsi for me actually.
Whilst I do like the SkyD, the size and non fliplock on clasp put me off. Plus at a glance it looks like a swollen datejust on oyster.

The Pepsi is superbly comfortable on its jubilee bracelet and I love the colours.

TXSD43 · 23 January 2021, 05:36 PM

I like the Pepsi more, sky d is too thick for me.

Hard choice. I have both and I feel the SkyD is more special with the innovative AC + GMT function whilst the Pepsi is more wearable and robust for daily use.

Skydweller all day

kieselguhr · 23 January 2021, 06:07 PM

I chose the BLRO for a reason. It fits my aesthetic taste much better and at 40mm diameter and 48mm lug to lug it fits me like a glove. I will say that it would have been nice if the SkyDweller would fit me just as well.

Harry-57 · 23 January 2021, 06:23 PM

I chose the black SS Sky Dweller.

The more you look at the functionality and the design, the more clever it seems. It's on the bigger side for a Rolex but it's not a big watch. The complications and design layout encompass features of both the Professional and Classic range, which makes it a bit of a curio. But it's not for everybody, nothing is. A GMT Master will suit other people's tastes better. You will end up with a superb watch that will be a joy to own whichever way you go. You can't lose. I also ended up with a white TT Sky Dweller. This one from my AD, for which I paid less than the market value of my SS one.

I also have the SS BLRO on order. It's a watch I want to own and enjoy, which will round off the Rolex part my collection nicely. Like the TT Sky Dweller, I won't pay over MSRP for it, which suggests correctly that if I could only keep one of the three it would be the SS Sky Dweller. If I could only keep one Rolex it would be something else.

sky dweller
highest complication in the entire rolex lineup
annual calendar vs regular gmt
no comparison

spikep · 23 January 2021, 06:50 PM

I have a small 6.5in wrist. I was worried about the thicker skydweller case but it’s a non issue. Both great, skydweller is my current favorite

Bosstime · 23 January 2021, 06:54 PM

The SkyDweller would definitely be my pick and i think alot of people will pick it over the Pepsi.

Bigsoftee · 23 January 2021, 07:06 PM

Pepsi all day

MrMercedes · 23 January 2021, 07:30 PM

Pepsi!

Goin2drt · 23 January 2021, 09:40 PM

Easy the Pepsi. Sky dwellers are fugly.

RaZCaL · 23 January 2021, 09:41 PM

Blro

travisb · 23 January 2021, 09:42 PM

Very different watches.
BLRO for me. Love the colors, comfort and history of the reference.

I own all three of the SS Sky-Dwellers and the BLRO and enjoy them very much. They are completely different watches in wear and appearance. If I could only have one it would be the white dial Sky-Dweller as the color works with everything and I have a lot of black dial watches. The BLRO really stands out with the colors and the Jubilee bracelet. No bad choice here, only options.

TheVTCGuy · 23 January 2021, 11:10 PM

I owned the SkyDweller for six months, I just could not get in to it. It is a fantastic watch, but it wore very big and very...”tall” on my wrist. I found the dial to be very busy and difficult to tell the time at a glance, with my old eyes I had to put on glasses just to see the second time zone, and it just felt a big.... Much. I went to the new Sub, but would take a GMT any day. The Mercedes hands are easy to read at a glance, the 24 hour hand as well.

Whichever you chose wear it in good health!

kans86 · 23 January 2021, 11:33 PM

Both are fantastic and they are different watches. Hard choice but if need to choose I would take the SkyD which I find very interesting with its complications and bold design which is very much untraditionally Rolex.

Pepsi for me. SD is too BIG on my 6.5 inch wrist.

upsidedownbelt · 24 January 2021, 12:42 AM

BLRO and it’s not close.

Oyster Sauce · 24 January 2021, 12:44 AM

My mind whispers SkyD because of its mechanical complication, but my heart screams BLRO because it is just plain cool.

dparent · 24 January 2021, 12:54 AM

Pepsi !

Stan Cooper · 24 January 2021, 12:55 AM

Although I can appreciate the Sky-D calendar complication, I agree with Paul that the 24 hour subdial is too small to be read at a glance (for my 78 year old eyes, anyway). Also, the case thickness would be cumbersome for me.

I'd pick the BLRO.
