Sky Dweller, only because I am not able to secure a Daytona. But being able to acquire 1 of your top 2 Rolexes (Sky D and Daytona), at the moment, isn't a bad deal haha

Either will be awesome! Best of luck, and share some wrist shots when you get it in!

I would love to be able to wear the Daytona, but seams really small on my wrist. Having said that, I really dig the proportions of the sky dweller. I thought the blue and TT were nice, but really looking forward to trying the white in person.

Sky Dweller - 100%.

Daytona wears too small on my wrist.

Thinking of flipping my SD43 for one.

Skydweller as it is far more functional day to day and the Daytona is just flat out too small.

Daytona- i tried a Steel Sky-Dweller on a few weeks ago and it is a cool watch but I was personally largely underwhelmed.

Skydweller Steel vs Daytona

When I think of Rolex , Skydweller is the last thing that comes to mind , with that odd ring on the center of the dial. Daytona is all Rolex, beautiful watch. So yeah for a first choice Daytona.
I think the skydweller , it’s a very functional watch , and kind of cool for a second Rolex , because it’s different.

Skydweller Steel vs Daytona

I know this is a hypothetical question but why pick just one?

Given the option to buy one first I'd take the Daytona. But that wouldn't rule out the SkyD for a future purchase. They're different enough to be owned together even in a small collection.

I'm on the list for the SkyD and it may very well be my last SS modern Rolex.
