How to Use the Rolex Skydweller (video)
Picked up a "real" camera a few months ago and thought it would be cool to start making some watch videos. Threw together a quick video on the skydwellers functions, and what each position on the ring command bezel does. very basic, targeted for the nonWIS I guess. No script so some ums and stutters but gotta start somewhere.

Great video! Thanks! I've always wondered exactly how the SD worked, and how the settings are set. Great seeing it in action. What an amazing piece of engineering this model is....As well as a beautiful piece of art! In the future if my budget allows it, I am definitely going to buy one someday!

Awesome
I'm trying to decide which I'd prefer this or the new GMT to indulge my "time zone" urges... As neither are available I'm not torn on a decision, just waiting to see which arrives I'm a new pilot, so I'd use the GMT wheel as UTC, then the hands as UK, most likely just use the auto correct in my mobile for local, then ive got a system I trust with no chance of confusion |

I got the BLNR and prefer it over the SkyD for time zone. Plus the rotating dial so much better. But two different watches. For GMT function, GMT II, simple as that. Sent from my ONEPLUS A5000 using Tapatalk |

Maybe keep more distance between the watch and the camera. A script certainly helps, so does voice-overs. Just some feedback. If you plan to do this often. Maybe do something different and make it interesting. I got some gear too. But for different purpose..will try a review video for sure. Sent from my ONEPLUS A5000 using Tapatalk |

Good video! Such an interesting watch with the bezel command. So different than my Sea Dweller.

It is easy as pie to use the Sky D. Used it on a cross country trip last week and thoroughly enjoyed having it on my wrist!!!

I really want this watch and really am not interested in paying 19k for it.
Not 19.5k Not 18k either You know what happens when I see the 2 tones available for 15k? I die inside just a little. Tomorrow I'm going to walk into Rolex on 5th ave and ask them if they have it and let them know I intend to buy it if they do. Anyone want to join me? |

Really? Rolex leave Money on the Table? So all the People overpaying for Daytona’s simply shrug it off and say “It was too cheap to begin with”?

No I'm just saying that if something like a YM2 commands an 18k retail, this watch should be up there too. The daytona i think is accurately priced for a SS chrono, but the skyd with its complications and gold bezel could probably be priced a bit higher, thats all :)

Very well done. Own a white Sky Dweller, and watched and enjoyed your entire video! Bet the views on this go up in a hurry.

Great job! You have a fluid, conversationalist style, and you seem to anticipate the next question to keep the video moving along. I didn't notice stammering or "uh's" really. You should review the watch next!
