Rolex SkyDweller Stainless Steel with White Gold Question
Hello guys. I had a question which I was hoping someone can answer.
I was happy that a stainless steel SkyDweller was made available and I do note that it is listed as Oystersteel with white gold. I was under the impression that the white gold was solely the fluted bezel. However someone mentioned that they were told that the white gold component is also the case as it is made of "Rolesor". Would anyone happen to know what is the white gold component in the Rolex Skydweller? Is it only the fluted bezel? Thanks. https://www.rolex.com/watches/sky-dw...6934-0003.html |

As I understand, the SS SkyD case is steel and bezel white gold.

Thanks for the replies. I do note on the official site they break down the watch into 3 components.
The Fluted Bezel (which is white gold) White Rolesor Oyster Bracelet Here's what's mentioned: THE OYSTER BRACELET ALCHEMY OF FORM AND FUNCTION The Sky-Dweller is fitted on a solid-link Oyster bracelet in Oystersteel, in the case of the white Rolesor version, or, for the yellow Rolesor version, an Oyster bracelet combining Oystersteel and yellow gold. The Oyster bracelet benefits from the new concealed attachment system beneath the bezel which ensures seamless visual continuity between the bracelet and case. It is equipped with a folding Oysterclasp and also features the ingenious Rolex-patented Easylink rapid extension system that allows the wearer to easily increase the bracelet length by approximately 5 mm, for additional comfort in any circumstance. So in regards to the "White Rolesor" version of the stainless watch, what exactly is the Rolesor (mixture of stainless steel and white gold) component? The fluted bezel seems to be white gold. https://www.rolex.com/watches/sky-dw...6934-0001.html Thanks in advance. |

As stated, bezel, hands, indices.
The WG bezel is special. It lifts the watch a lot. |

Rolex SkyDweller Stainless Steel with White Gold Question
These names that watch companies are coming up with for gold is confusing, and rolesor is the most confusing of them all. When the steel sky dweller came out I read all the press and I would have swore from reading the marketing that there was white gold in the bracelet. It was only the price being lower than the TT that made me realise there wasn’t.

Rolesor is SS paired with either YG or Everose.
