Hey guys!

I'm looking to get a two tone piece and would love to hear your advice.

I've had a Datejust 41, Explorer 2 and a Sub. All stainless steel and I'm ready for some gold! Currently can't swing full gold and I really love the two tone.

Currently looking at new bluesy and the Sky Dweller with champagne dial.

I tried on both today and loved them equally. Sub is more sporty and SD is more dressy.

I think the Sub would be perfect for my daily wear and activities... and it's freaking gorgeous! But there is something to that gold fluted bezel on the Sky Dweller. That is gorgeous too!

Any advice/opinions? Thanks in advance!

The sub 100%

Calborn · 7 April 2021, 09:07 AM

that bluesy looks killer on you.

the sky, not so much (the color way + size reminds me of a Coors can)

Alcibiades · 7 April 2021, 09:14 AM

I think there are much better iterations of two tone / champagne dial (mainly the Daytona and Datejust) than the Sky-dweller, at least on you. I would get the Bluesy

RaZCaL · 7 April 2021, 09:17 AM

I like the bluesy on you more.

Sam Nelson · 7 April 2021, 09:19 AM

No love for the Sky Dweller two tone so far! Thought that might be the case!

Cigars&Watches · 7 April 2021, 09:23 AM

What you don’t like a Rootbeer?
If it’s between the two you mentioned. Go bluesy.

I dunno I keep getting distracted by the inner complication. Not sure I like it in that color

I thought I would love the rose gold but I feel like it's just too close to my skin color that it doesn't look right. Also, I don't love the brown half on the bezel. Just not my thing.

Complete surprise to me but I love the gold way more!

JRell · 7 April 2021, 09:38 AM

Bluesy is so very special. Love mine.

vh2k · 7 April 2021, 09:42 AM

That Sky-Dweller is visual nightmare compared to the Bluesy.

myporsche · 7 April 2021, 09:49 AM

This is a tough choice, first TT is awesome its not a compromise, you should totally go for it, you didn't mention this but how great with weight and presence did the SkyD fit on your wrist? I was surprised when I threw on a gold one and didn't want to take it off in the store, it has a lot of presence. Go with "feel" on this one both physical and gut, you can't go wrong.

Just1More · 7 April 2021, 09:51 AM

Bluuuueeeesyyyyyy

Mystro · 7 April 2021, 09:55 AM

I wore a TT Bluesy for 15 years. That said, the Skydweller has a much much better movement. The SkyDweller is bigger and less common. Not sure the champagne dial works with your skin tone as much as the blue. A black or white SkyDweller would be the way to go.

jimcarver · 7 April 2021, 09:55 AM

Bluesy 100%, but if its the bezel you like and you are looking for some gold, go for a DJ on a jubilee, much more bling for your buck.

levvity · 7 April 2021, 09:58 AM

Bluesy!!

Surfingbuddhist · 7 April 2021, 10:42 AM

+1 for the Bluesy!

Wrist Watcher · 7 April 2021, 10:53 AM

Bluesy easily.

MichaelFlash · 7 April 2021, 11:23 AM

Bluesy 1000% compared to that color Sky Dweller

Frank McKay · 7 April 2021, 11:25 AM

I like the Sky-D. Poor picture takes away from the true beauty of that watch in person.

tyguy74 · 7 April 2021, 11:30 AM

Sky dweller hands down! Agree that a different dial color would be better than champagne, such as black or white dial

jarecki · 7 April 2021, 11:31 AM

From the pics - Sub all the way

trippinjimmy · 7 April 2021, 11:33 AM

I’m not a fan of that two tone sky d config but do like the white dial quite a bit. That said, I really couldn’t stand the bluesy before, but something about the new white lettering really makes it pop.

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I vote bluesy!

Even I would pick the Sub between the two options you presented.

I agree! My terrible picture did not do the watch justice.

Sub all the way. I think TT is great - a value imo in the rolex lineup. Think about a TT sub as a do anything watch. Beach vacation to the office. Go for it!

On your wrist, I'd say the Sub looks much better.

Dubshack · 7 April 2021, 12:04 PM
