I agree - two tone plus the YM plus a Skydweller is nice combo. Does the SkyD have to be on oyster flex tho?

Good call. Good observations.

Would you trade three steel watches for an oysterflex skydweller?

Agreed. I understand OF on a Daytona but not a PM skydweller. I feel like a fluted bezel should come on a bracelet. Maybe it’s Rolexes way to make the PM SkyD more affordable?

Well, that depends on how much cash back you will get, on what else you have left in your collection after the trade!
Man, I love that Sky-Dweller!
Make sure it’s really what you want!
Good luck!

Unless you have other SS pieces, I would say no to this trade.

You already have the YM 42 which should wear similar on the wrist in feel. The SD is a beauty and very special, yet unless you still have at least 1 SS piece remaining in your collection I don’t think it’s a good move to go all PM, both on OF

Just my $.02

I’m appreciating the sd43 a lot more now. And I love the ym 42. Time to just be happy for a while and enjoy! Sold the two tone to a friend for retail and wife got me an air king for Xmas day at retail so all good! I’m first in the list with my dealer for rose gold Daytona so I will wait for that one! Rubber works on a sports watch, that’s pretty clear to me now

Strange turn of events! Ended up selling the two tone sub and sd43 and getting a brand new ym 40 to match my 42.
With an air king off the wife and my cermit stays.

Watch collecting finished…. For now!

Scratched my rose gold itch and it’s amazing with the glidelock. Cheers for the comments and have a good year!

In my opinion I would keep the green, trade the other two either straight or with minimal cash. But then again who are we to tell you what you like :)

i wouldn't, while i love the OF (Daytona) I would only consider this if trading up to a full gold bracelet model.

Yes happy! There’s a big rumour cermit is being discontinued but it’s probably rubbish

The top 3 out of all yours for me is the OF Daytona, Cermit and SD43.

The Daytona is far from a cert as we all know! If it shows up I’ll have a decision to make I suppose .just really wanted a rose gold watch. To be honest the white gold and rose gold yms are very different in person. White gold is very stealth whilst the rose is almost a casual dress watch
