This is just my personal opinion, and I think the Sky Dweller is beautiful and probably the most technically sophisticated Rolex reference with the Saros annual calendar and the 24 hour subdial, but I'd choose the GMT II BLRO.

To me, the SkyD is too big, both in diameter and case thickness, and the subdial is too small to be read at a glance. The very legible bezel on the BLRO combined with the jumping hour hand is very simple to use and supremely practical.

Again, just MHO.

I have both a Skydweller and BLRO. I love them both in different ways. The Skydweller is a much superior watch, the BLRO is more comfortable. It boils down to preferences, u can’t go wrong with either.

I’d make that trade. Not particularly fond of the Sky Dweller. I appreciate the innovative approach taken with the command bezel, but it looks like a enlarged DJ to me.

Nope
The GMT will be easier to get down the road I think.

IMHO, it's like trading a V8 AMG for a 4 cyl AMG.

This one is interesting for me. I don’t care for the sky dweller so I would naturally say trade it. However I really hate the jubilee bracelet so for me I would probably keep the SD. Now if you traded for a GMT on oyster, yep all day long.

Listen to the man. The skyD is just more special. Imo I would keep the skyD and save up for the Pepsi. Since the AD will “take” some time to get you one. But I’ve been told this before and got the “call” in a week lol.

SkyD is more special. Unless trade plus cash for a GMT Pepsi meteorite.

I am having a dilema now. I just obtained a new black dial sky dweller. I like it a lot and i also like GMT pepsi as well.

Would you guys consider trade black dial sky dweller for pepsi? should this be an even trade given both watches are in the same condition??

I’d swap my pepsi for your watch defo
