Opinions on the sky dweller

[fskywalker]

Not my style, but they have a big wrist presence

Amazing from a movement/complications perspective. Not my style but if you love it, wear it well!

There is a new AD ( and the only one ) in my city, and they have a YG Skydweller like the one I saw and handled recently in Edinburgh. So that's two viewings in two months. If I had the money I'd buy YG Skydweller. Simply outstanding in every way.
Get the fork I'm done. I'd keep what I have of course, the GMT and Sub in SS, but to get some gold I can't think of a better watch than the Skydweller.

I had the white gold with charcoal face on black strap and really liked it. Hindsight, as nice as the strap is I probably would have liked it on metal more, but ended up trading it and and AP rose for my current 5990.

I like it. It's a big watch. But for the price, there are other watches I'd get before it (other Rolex, AP, etc)

[Nikos-B]

The watch is fantastic.

Very easy to use it and taken care to the last detail. Even the crown when tighten sits straight and correctly!

What one should be aware is that it is a very heavy piece (and I have the strap version) and that if you have a very small wrist it will look enormous.

For these reasons, before buying it, try it on a store first.

RG-chocolate dial on bracelet is an impressive sight. It's my favorite of the lot. I believe they did an amazing job meshing function and form into a great looking piece.

Completely agree

I like it in rose gold on the strap a lot, but in that price range there is a long list of watches id rather have.

[Rags]

If it was available in SS I might consider one but at it's current price it is out of my price range.

[RGAmos]

These are beautiful watches, but I am not a fan of any watch the use of which requires manipulation of the bezel.

[Lordofrolex]

I like the sky dweller but much prefer the YM II in gold or a gold sub. If your willing to spend the money i would take a look at the AP brand. Once you hit into that 30k range thats the direction i would go into.

[Paradise1]

Ever rose version is the sexiest watch on the planet IMO

[Watchgeek5000]

Not seen much because they are expensive compared to subs and so on. Buy beautiful!!!!!

[Etschell]

if it comes down in price im going to get it over the gold sub, gmt and day date.

[49ers101hitters]

[gossbeau]

I like it a lot but above my budget for now ;)

[jbsmith]

My favorite YG watch due to size, wrist presence, classic fluted bezel and cyclops, dial, easy link, and most complicated Rolex with useful functions like date, gmt, and calendar. Highly recommend.

The Skydweller is an awesome watch. I'm going to get a rose gold one soon.

In my eyes its the pinnacle of Rolex even moreso than the DD.

Definitely not on my radar.........mechanically, fantastic!!!! From a style standpoint, not interesting in the least.........

[drgoro]

Arabic dial, gold/chocolate, bracelet is the sportsman configuration.
Romans, white dial is the stately version.
Either way you go, this is a model that must be experienced to fully understand its appeal.

[Wcdhtwn]

Month, date, and GMT all in one. What's not to love? RG and chocolate would be my choice.

[TonyD]

I think they look fantastic and the complications are excellent. I think they got it 90% right but missed with me on a few points.

They have the date and month but no day of the week complication. I feel strongly that the 24 hour dial is less useful and that they should have made it a pure calendar watch.

Lastly the chopped off numbers at 6 o'clock just bug me.

If they replaced the 24 hour dial with a day wheel and centered it then I would find a way to buy one.

[heisse]

i had tried the Skydweller in Andorra. Fantastic watch with a great complication. For me, it will come out in Rolesor then SS shortly. In PM, I will opt for white gold model ivory dial ... beautiful!

But as the YM2, I expect the SS version.

That would be me...in SS I'd probably own it on bracelet with the romans dial. Not in gold...too much premium and I'd rather my funds be elsewhere.

[Headshrinker]

Just too big for my taste.

[VinnieVegas]

Too rich for my blood, and I never really cared for it until I saw several in the window of the Rolex Boutique here in nyc.

Seeing it in person really made me like it lot.

[peterskinner]

No way of accounting for personal taste. I think it is ugly as sin. I mean....just look st that dial. So, perhaps not for me!

[drgoro]

I have mine on in shorts and sandals in that pic! It works in more situations than many (whom have not spent time with the piece) give it credit for. I believe that's the real reason some prefer to go for WG , not so much because they want a 'SS' version but because they believe it to be too flashy and not versatile enough. It comes down to the wearer and how they carry themselves. I don't believe I'll go for another WG watch, it was a quick in and out phase. Between this and my RG ROO there's always a battle going on.
