I know that the Blue Sky Dweller is currently the most demanded color, but I'm curious about your guys' thoughts over the long haul.

Seems blue is super trendy right now but I could definitely see a world where white or black gains more popularity or momentum. But I could totally be wrong.

Which do you think will be the most lauded color in Sky Dweller in the future?

Jona · 29 February 2020, 03:33 PM

I bought a TT black because I liked it. I don't care a whit what may be the most lauded or which one becomes more popular. Or which one will be "worth" more, which is the real question, is it not?

Why?

scombs263 · 29 February 2020, 03:58 PM

I think black or white for sure. Either way. Awesome watch.

I believe blue will maintain greater interest.
Although I tend towards white these days.

It’s SkyDweller and to my eyes and imagination skies are blue :-)
Now if I want to pick a color that fades so fantastically under the effect of time and sun that also would be the blue. Can you imagine this dial turning into light uneven sky blue 30 years from now ?

Not sure we will see much fade/patina on modern watches like we did on more vintage pieces. Production methods are more robust I guess now.

Surprising the lack of excitement for white

Jona · 1 March 2020, 01:12 AM

OOH, OOH, what kind of light can I get to accelerate fading? UV, IR, LED, Carbon Arc welding? $$$$$$$

Looks like ultimately people still think blue will reign supreme over time. Surprising to me!

Black and white is not a color....so Blue....

What "dial shade" do you think will stand the test of time?

HL65 · 3 March 2020, 10:21 AM

They all will stand the test of time. Which will be most desirable? Probably blue if today is any indication.

Skydwella · 3 March 2020, 10:26 AM

It's either the black or the white i voted for white cause it's my favorite SkyDweller dial.

Me too. Lots of love for blue dials, but just not my thing. I also prefer TT cause to me it works both with jeans or a suit. But I seem to be in the minority. Story of my life

JayHantz · 3 March 2020, 11:28 AM

All are pretty versatile, and work in so many situations. I would say the blue will always have a strong following and will stay the most requested, but I would be happy with any!

mpower3330 · 3 March 2020, 11:33 AM

I voted white but I’m biased lol

I think white is most likely to show age or damage over time. Other than that, it's hard to give a general rule. A lot depends on the manufacturing process are that time. Honestly, nobody really knows.
