[Cobie520]

Ap

[ap1]

New anthracite or brown on rg SkyD would be tougher choice for me. AP in your matchup

[DJH1977]

See both in person yet? AP for me.

[TimepieceRPP]

I like Skydweller very much but I would choose AP if obtainable

[peterpl]

As a current owner of that exact same Skydweller in RG I would choose the AP all day.

Interesting. Why is that?

[OrangeSport]

Really don't like ROs (or any Genta design) so SD for me, but would prefer another dial..

[Chester01]

I’m not a giant fan of the AP but would have more use for the chrono and idk, i like it more in this showdown.

AP Chrono better investment in current market. Sky is a more durable and better watch overall and is a complication whereas the AP is just a chronograph.

This sounds like it was written by a bot. A complication is not something a watch is, it is something a watch has. And a chronograph is unquestionably a complication. The Sky-Dweller is certainly a more complicated watch (annual calendar, second time zone, stop seconds, self-winding) than the AP (chronograph, date, self-winding).

I always like AP in photos but not when I try them on.

Are you buying one? That SkyD isn't current so would be used/grey. The AP is £60K retail and £80-100K grey.

Correct. I am able to get AP at retail.

So is the Sky-Dweller the same asking price as well? Is price a factor here?

Yes, about the same price point as AP at retail.

I thought RRP for both current models there's about £20K difference?

Surprised if the old SkyD is £60K grey...

Makes it a no-brainer, but I would have gone AP in any case. Btw, if "AP at retail" means new from an AD, this would presumably be a 26239 with the new in-house flyback chrono. That vs the SkyD's movement would at least be a good debate from a horological engineering POV.

I’m thinking the same thing. 26239 will be the one available now, correct? If you are getting it at retail, I would have to think this the model you would receive. If so, it is thicker and heavier than the 26331.

If it’s the watch you want, no brainer.

That APROC is very sexy. Too sexy for this contest.

[Calatrava r]

The AP will wear super big. Of the two, I would go with the SD. The SD is, also, the more durable of the two.

The sky dweller is definitely the larger of the two…..it wears like a jumbo datejust

[rlj676]

What else do you have? That would matter to me of course as I like a good variety.

[Becweb]

I think you should buy the one you like better but what do i know...

[GoingPlaces]

AP all day. Next level.

I remember the original 21mm lug width SkyDs losing quite a bit of value. Seems to have come up a lot, maybe piggy backing on the newer model and general poor Rolex availability.

Different market then, I understand that. May have just been shock of the new I guess back in 2012 or whenever.

Having said that I thought then and still think the original 21mm lug width was too narrow and the watch doesnt look as balanced as the new one. Also the romans are too busy on an already busy dial. Also you'd need to be careful with the old model because I think there was a movement component tweak, something to do with the hacking function being hit and miss. You'll be out of warranty with one now and the 9001 is complex and RSC-only for service.

I like the new Everose with sticks and either slate or chocolate dial, and even grey that's much cheaper than the AP.

Sky D

[enjoythemusic]

In actual usage, SkyD. Perhaps a different dial tho. I'd prefer chocolate with Everose. Was the same with Everose DD40.

Great minds think alike. Here’s what I’d pick. And did
