Just took delivery of this new old stock SkyDweller! Super thrilled, have loved this variation for a while!

Something special about this white and the way the sun interacts with it!

Not sure these do a good job. The SkyDweller appears bigger and is certainly thicker but I don’t think by too much. The lug width seems slightly wider as well. I’d think if one is good with the Exp 2, the SD wouldn’t be an issue

Congratulations. It's a great watch and the white dial is rather clever in how it reacts to different lighting conditions.
