The perfect Sky dweller colour combo
IMO this would have been the perfect Sky Dweller colour combo - just wish it was a factory option!

My AD tells me that AD would fit this dial to a WG SkyD if I wanted though (and could fit the chocolate dial to the Everose on bracelet)



(excuse my poor photoshop skills!)

I would rather have Romans, but other than that, it would definitely be a killer combo.

Looks good my friend. Rolex will not fit a bracelet to a watch or replace the dial.

I should add that I don't mind taking annual calendars on a strap as opposed to bracelet. Best

Agreed. With Romans, this watch would have been perfect.

That makes 3 of us. I actually think I like the new YG one on strap the best of the Sky D's. Not 100% on any of them yet so who knows. For now I will keep my upcoming focus on a controversial new model.

Can't agree on the Romans....the color combo is on the sporty side, so, it's perfect as-is, IMO.

On this color combo you are right but I prefer Romans myself and the new YG one is my favorite. Again not there on any of them yet. This one definitely sporty though!

The Arabic is beautiful. The roman makes it less sporty, noting the larger diameter

Not convinced on any of the 6 options either. Like the watch but can't identify a standout combo.

Other than the small problem of not having the cash to make that happen, I would be all over that.
