Finally pulled the trigger... Incoming!
After many many years of wait, I finally decided to pull the trigger on the Sky Dweller. I've always been interested in the complication and thought that this was the missing piece of my Rolex collection.
Recently, I have been lurking once again and could not justify the premiums going for the SS variants of the model. On the other hand, I've always liked the white metal and thought to myself why not go for WG. When we're looking into precious metals, the WG metal is very much undervalued as many cannot tell the difference between SS and WG. On the other hand, the YG and RG variants hold a better value due to huge contrast and the easy distinction. SO, it was either the 326139 on the leather strap or 326939 on the full WG bracelet. Although the full gold watch is very tempting but justifying a difference of 11,000 USD compared to the leather bracelet when the dial and complication are the same.... I decided to just go for the leather strap version. In addition, I feel like wearing 180g on the wrist is quite hefty in itself, I wonder if I'd be put off by wearing the full bracelet due to its heft. I hope to be able to sport it on the arctic white rubber b (M110) rubber strap too! It'll make the watch quite unique by being a WG version on a rubber, something Rolex has never released as the WG variant with leather had a short run between 2014 and 2018. Love the Roman numerals along with the ivory dial, very unique. Much prefer this over the black dial with Arabic numerals and contrasting GMT disc. I'm sure I'm on the minority here. Pictures do not do this watch justice, to some they might feel this dial is dull. To each their own though.

Beautiful. Sadly, it's just too big for my 6.75" wrist.

Looks awesome; I’m sure it’ll be a perfect summer watch on the white rubber B; would love to see pics of it after you get the strap!

I’ve long contemplated the 326939. Such a stunner piece. May I ask how much it weighs on the full bracelet? Thanks

The best PM skyD. IMO I would have went with the full gold bracelet and added the oyster flex later. Congratulations

Very nice. Congratulations. In that configuration it's about as under the radar as you can get with a Sky dweller.
