Sky-dweller on President Bracelet
Would you be in for this combo?
I definitely would. I love the sky dweller but imo the oyster makes it a bit feel cheaper then a DD, though this isn't through of course. |

That's actually a real pity that it's not on a President.
Too costly for me to mod it.

Although I think it would look nice. I feel like Rolex should just keep the president for the day date

Since Rolex considers it in the same classic plane as a DD and DJ, am actually surprised there are no president and jubilee variants.
The SkyD is not supposed to be a professional/sports model. |

I've seen mockups and an dealer and I tried it. It fits, the radius isn't perfect but with slight modification is it perfect. Of course, you'd have to get a PM DD bracelet and a PM SkyD. An expensive play

I think the SkyD works just fine on an Oyster bracelet.

The only knock on the President bracelet is the lack of adjustment without having to remove links. The Sky-Dweller is way too heavy in PM not to have the right fit.

The more Sky-Dwellers the better. Still waiting for the Platinum Sky-D with ice blue dial and President bracelet

I would be in potentially but it would depend on how it sat on the wrist. It might move around too much with the head being bigger than the DD.

Justdate did a mock up in another thread. On the jubilee it looks too busy. On the president, perfect. |

lol Heck no. Rolex should keep the President for the DayDate.
I would understand if you wanted a jubilee on the daydate or a president on a datejust, but the skydweller? |

Dilutes the DD branding.

I voted yes but it depends. SkyD is busy to begin with so it may be too tacky. But it might work.
