My grail Rolex SKY DWELLER vs 3 Daytonas .
Each competitor has it's own great points .
This poll is concerned as only as these serial numbered dial models .
Money is concern ? Yes considering you can buy 326938 SKY DWELLER and Yellow Gold Daytona or SKY DWELLER + Meteorite and still may have left over money for the price of Platinum Daytona or just buy Platinum Daytona and call it a day no more watches .
Please when voting take this into consideration

Far better on every count in my view.

Chewbacca · 4 April 2015, 06:09 AM

platona.

handsfull · 4 April 2015, 06:17 AM

Skydweller 100%

Not a chronograph fan and the Skydweller movement is spectacular.

100% agree even if the platona is absolutely stunning

Absolutely. Great take on the GMT.

watchwatcher · 4 April 2015, 06:19 AM

It would be between the SKD and the Platona for me...Platona if funds were available, SKD if it was close.

rahible · 4 April 2015, 06:39 AM

Skydweller for me, unique complication and setting mechanism.

Psmith · 4 April 2015, 06:40 AM

SkyD for me - a more modern design and interesting complications.

Constantine · 4 April 2015, 06:42 AM

I love the look of the platinum daytona, but taking price into account I would rather have two other watches instead of that one. I voted for the white gold daytona, with the meteorite dial. I think I will be the only one :)

The meteorite dial is absolutely stunning. Excellent taste sir.

nope love that watch

i would take the meteorite daytona + sky dweller over the platona

the platona is a great watch but imo these 2 trump it

Britexpat76 · 4 April 2015, 06:45 AM

I have been looking at the Platona lately, I have never had a grail but its fast becoming an obsession. The fact I would have to sell all 5 current watches and a kidney is the only reason I have not tried it on..............yet.

Seeing as its your money, I would buy the Platona

kilyung · 4 April 2015, 06:45 AM

No contest. Platinum baby!

Mellowgc · 4 April 2015, 06:50 AM

it would have to be the Daytona for me. I absolutely love the mechanism behind the Skydweller, but it is simply too big of a watch for my taste.

Seaswirl · 4 April 2015, 07:03 AM

Platona if price was not a consideration.

zama · 4 April 2015, 07:06 AM

Hard to justify new price of Platona which is what I voted for, but if it was not that it would not be that combination of Daytonas either......... it would be a Newman Dial or choc brown on leather. SkyD does not do it for me it is too big.

captainnice · 4 April 2015, 07:25 AM

Other

jjnd08 · 4 April 2015, 07:46 AM

Platona.

AK797 · 4 April 2015, 07:49 AM

I would choose Platona of these but I would get my true grail first not just what I had the funds for.

Colin W · 4 April 2015, 08:05 AM

Platona, all the way - amazing piece😄

Sky dweller for me as well, I just can't get around the 40mm of the Daytona. 42mm would suit me better and the fact that you have a YMII which is 44mm, it might be difficult to live with a Daytona. Good luck

I'm right there with you

Eric Chan · 4 April 2015, 01:52 PM

Platinum Daytona.

Cru Jones · 4 April 2015, 02:52 PM

Well, since you say the YG SkyD is your "grail", I don't see why you wouldn't get it.

For me, though, if the platinum Daytona is seriously in play, then that's the one, hands down!

sickened1 · 4 April 2015, 02:55 PM

Definitely Platinum Daytona.
