Got me thinking..

Should I just sell the BLNR and keep the SkyD?

About to ask the same. What’s your reasoning for either choice?

I love everything about the Sky Dweller except it’s size. I thought it was DJ2 size, but it’s even bigger! Makes me wonder if buyers remorse may set in once the novelty value wares off. I’d keep them both for now and see how you feel a few months down the road.

Solid advice.

And I agree with you about the size of the Sky Dweller for me, it was the thickness of the case that seemed a little off to me.

Still, I think it’s an amazing watch.

Keep it. Seems like you are migrating away from 5 digit references now.
