Hey all,

So my AD asked me the other day what stainless piece I’d be looking for next, and, as a reflex, I stated “A white face Daytona.”

But my wife asked “what about a skydweller?” And, after discussion, I’m reaching out.

I have a black face Rolex, and a blue on the way, so I’m really thinking white.

What do you guys think? Skydweller or Daytona?

jrs146 · 11 April 2018, 01:34 PM

Is pick Daytona between the two. But both are beautiful watches.

Of course everyone will say Daytona, but I genuinely find the Sky-D the more interesting piece. The white dial Sky-D in particular really tickles my fancy. I haven't heard much SD talk lately, could it be popularity is dwindling as everyone wants a glass of Pepsi now?

Skydweller. Every time.

Tampashooter · 11 April 2018, 02:03 PM

Skydweller. All day long.

zjd168 · 11 April 2018, 02:08 PM

both, blue skyD and white daytona C, take whatever comes.

don't need to worry about the funding if that's the concern. Plenty of time in between to save

MinMay · 11 April 2018, 02:17 PM

Buy what makes you HAPPY :).

doubleosullivan · 11 April 2018, 02:35 PM

Sky dweller for me. I’m going to get killed on this one, but I think the Daytona is too small.

gaeleus · 11 April 2018, 02:37 PM

Daytona all the way!!!

This. If it was me, I'd pick the SkyDweller over the Daytone any day.

16610v · 11 April 2018, 02:54 PM

Daytona for me.

Squire711 · 11 April 2018, 02:57 PM

Take both

rolleyme · 11 April 2018, 03:33 PM

Skydweller. Daytona is a bit dated to me.

HogwldFLTR · 11 April 2018, 03:38 PM

I own both; the Sky D would be my choice of the two if I had to make a decision!!!

Rolex.c6 · 11 April 2018, 03:52 PM

You pick, you're gonna wear it. No one can decide for you. Both great watches.

boktan · 11 April 2018, 03:58 PM

Who's wearing the watch? Tough choice actually

Roger Lococco · 11 April 2018, 04:15 PM

I much prefer the Daytona, but the two watches are so different that I suspect one of them sings to you more than the other one.

I’ve got the white Daytona and skydweller, both beauties. If I could only keep one though it would be the Daytona.

Giangos · 11 April 2018, 04:33 PM

Daytona for me, easily

Sky dweller here, not a fan of the Daytona

TWCjapan · 11 April 2018, 05:56 PM

Some people would think Sky dweller is ugly because of its busy dial.
But I still like it more especially TT

guffyboy92 · 11 April 2018, 06:05 PM

Close call, but I'd pick the Skydweller. The Daytona is the "hot" watch, and market wise it is the more desirable. The Skydweller however is technically the more superior watch complication wise, and IMO has a much more useful function (Calendar and GMT). Aesthetically, it's subjective. I own both and I think both are beautiful, but they each have a different appeal. The Daytona is an icon and is instantly recognizable. The Skydweller is a new model and not as recognizable as the Daytona. That said however, more casual, non-watch enthusiast observers have called it a "nice watch", much more so than the Daytona.
Good luck!

faz · 11 April 2018, 06:08 PM

Two very different watches. The fact that you are cross shopping them shows perhaps the hype is affecting your selection?
