Sky Dweller Regret?

[GoCubsGo72]

Hi all -

I've been considering a Sky Dweller for some time. I really like it, but it's bigger than my other watches and wears big because it's pretty thick. I hate to get it and have buyer's remorse.

I see some big discounts on them and a bunch of pre-owned available. Which makes me wonder - did anyone that bought one have any regrets -- and why?

[jschmidtdmd]

I love mine and want a second.

No regrets. Went with the WG, and will add the rose.

My ONLY reservation every time I have the watch on is the GMT subdial. It bothers me at times, but as for the weight and thickness of the watch, I enjoy it.

Yes, I regret buying it since my other SS watch has got zero wrist time since I bought it this summer

Basically it has become my daily beater and I am planning to take it with me as a travel watch for an upcoming vacation,

My God, that is a magnificent looking watch!

Just because the other owners have no regrets and love theirs does not mean you won't have buyer's remorse/regret if and when you decide to get yours. Based on the fact that you are already questioning your possible decision, I have a feeling this may not be for you. Good luck in whatever your decision turns out to be.

Wow, I'm considering the same. Have the WG now but the RG sure looks nice!!

[autohorology]

Just remember, retail is $46-48k. If you want to resell it you should expect 30-32k. So if you can't buy it right and then you regret it later, it's a bit of a hit to take.

Been there, done that on many watches unfortunately! Easy to get over when it's an SS model, not so much for gold.

^ Exactly......go with a trusted seller.

That's why I am waiting on the rose, as the price comes down

My Rolex Lineup. Sky Dwellers are the favorites of the group. Probably would not have purchased the RG DD II if the RG Sky Dweller with the chocolate dial was available at that time.
If you don't want compliments from strangers, I would stay away from the Sky Dwellers!

Sky Dweller Regret?......

Lol, impossible.

Nice collection Excelsior, take a few more pics of the white gold skydweller and post some pics. I am pretty sure that is the only WG Skydweller on bracelet as no-one else as posted any pics..and personally i think that one is the best combo. Although the RG with choc dial looks lovely as well.

Huh? RG bracelet with Chocolate dial? WG bracelet with Black dial??

Is this combo available now?

Nice Skydwellers!

HAGW ahead! .. Jen

No regrets. Bought a yg skydweller about 9 months ago. Looking for rg now. I love the weight, size, etc. wear it everyday.

[Rolex king 68]

I really enjoy it would highly advise to get one.

[brandrea]

I don't own one, but i love this reference. I tried one on at my local AD and thought it was the perfect size at 42 mm. Beautiful wrist presence, and I really like how the GMT time is displayed. GO FOR IT!

[Psmith]

The WG model is killer

Not big at all imho

More likely skydweller envy to be experienced than regret.

[Cyclops888]

Tried the RG chocolatedial.
WoW just wow.

[AK797]

I'm moving down from 44mms to 40-1mm so the size would be a problem for me, the DD2 Choco suits me better.

[Racerdj]

No regrets here but I am still in the honeymoon phase only owning this one for a month. It is my favorite Rolex and my first RG.
I highly advise you not basing your decision off any posted regrets or praise like mine. I thought over my purchase for 5 months as I did not want to make a mistake.

Either you have 9 inch wrists or someone shrunk your watch! LOL


Love that YG reference! IMO the best looking version.

Love the Sky Dweller

Thank you all for the responses. Much appreciated. You've definitely provided the clarity I was looking for!
