Need Advice: Swap Sub Bluesy for SkyD SS White?

[lasc]

Hey everyone, I need some advice. Would you swap a bluesy 116613lb for a white dial SS SkyD? I have a BLNR, a Pam 104, and a JLC tribute moon in my collection. I’m really torn on this, as I like the SkyD quite bit, but don’t know if it will be a long term keeper and classic as the bluesy. I’ve attached a photo of the SkyD as a reference.

Thanks!

I don’t think I would. The 116613lb is gorgeous, and I’m not to keen on the white dial of the Sky Dweller.

[superstarmar]

I wouldn’t... Keep the Bluesy,.. you’ll be
happier in the end ... Add the white Sky D...înstead
when funds are available...

Swapping gold for SS never makes sense to me... agree with above, keep the LB

[JacksonStone]

LB is a classic. White Sky-D is just OK. This would be a different discussion if we were talking about a blue SS Sky-D.

I would personally but I am also not a TT fan. The SkyDweller is a special watch and really nice in every color. I chose the black myself but it is one of those watches I could be happy with in any color if I couldn’t have gotten the black.

Datejust means date just as in only in case you were confused.

Quick English tip for you: “an” before overpriced not “a”.

Thanks for the replies! I appreciate it! It is a very hard decision. I actually prefer the white to the blue, that is in the SkyD. The bluesy is definitely gorgeous. It’s just I find myself in a TT-defiant phase. But that sunburst blue dial is just beautiful.

Is this a straight up trade?

Regardless I would as I quite like the SkyD in the white dial.

Good question. No, I’d have to sell my blusesy and buy the SkyD. So I’d have to shell out at least 3000-3500 more.

I would and I have owned a Bluesy for a long time. I think the movement and size of the Skydweller is worth the move alone. It’s a clean powerful looking watch.

[Bigblu10]

Blue dialed SkyD is really sharp. Go for this one!

[HL65]

Here’s a shot of my black Datejust errr I mean SkyDweller. They are nice watches and truly a lot of watch for the money. An AC + GMT for $14,400 hard to top that!

[G.D.BeanCounter]

I made a similar move from Bluesy, but to TT SkyD, though I would not have done it for the SS... unless it was the blue dial. I figured the Bluesy would be easier to get back into at the time... no telling these days, eh!

[Byrdguy]

That black skydweller is a great looking watch, but the Blusey is my second favorite watch. My Hulk is number 1. I keep toying with the idea of adding a Blusey, though. Maybe a trip to my AD is in order, haven't been over there in quite a while.

[DHISTORY]

I’d keep the bluessy and add a pre-owned white dial 116334 for $6k.

You are right, and it’s partially my concern too. Not sure if the Bluesy price will continue to rise and become harder to get if I let mine go. But I also have the same concern for the SkyD with the general Rolex shortage, and it being a limited (somewhat) watch.
