While I pine to try one on, I know with 2 kids in college my desire must be tempered by the wait for them to both graduate. Once that is done, a pre-loved via TRF is in my future.

And may I dare to say on a bracelet in YG?

Sorry for this pic but I just had too!

Congrats in advance and I look forward to you enjoying your 326135 when you acquire it!

Indeed! And take those stickers off and let that rose gold shine!

TempoKing · 28 March 2013, 10:56 PM

I prefer the yellow gold....it screams..."You have arrived my friend"...

This is coming from a chap who owns other brands as well... Be well!

What a BEAUTIFUL WATCH you got there. Most probably that one will be my next Rolex.
Love it, a very cool watch!

Passionata · 9 November 2013, 07:37 AM

It s a real horological instrument,love it

up2nogood · 9 November 2013, 09:26 AM

I like it, but I do think bracelet. I do wonder what it would look like with block markers?

X2 THANK YOU!!! Exactly what I've always thought about this watch. I'm a lot more likely to forget what day it is than what month it is. That illogical hierarchy of functions really makes me wonder what Rolex was thinking.

I agree with the OP that the DD2 is a better designed piece. The Skydweller isn't favorite but I can see where it is appreciated. I think in the future it will be a sought after piece but if I were going to spend that kind of money, I think there are a few other pieces I'd get first starting with an Arabic numeral dial DD2.

darklord · 15 November 2013, 04:12 PM

Prior to have seen the watch I had a negative opinion on it...well I tried it on about 2 weeks ago and IMO it is the most perfect watch I have ever tried on....from beautiful complications to balance and fit to sheer esthetics; the watch is plain sexy.

The white gold SD is next on my hit list.

zama · 15 November 2013, 04:27 PM

Not for me and largely based on size, but I completely respect those who like it, if I was going to opt for one it would be chocolate on leather.....

up2nogood · 15 November 2013, 07:19 PM

Bit of a naive question, but does it accommodate different months day content? Like Feb being short?

Eugene-Taiwan · 15 November 2013, 07:34 PM

RG Dweller

116520 Black Dial
116680
PAM317
ROO forged carbon 44mm
116506 coming soon

lipjin · 15 November 2013, 08:21 PM

I had the chance to play with the movement and it's absolutely a beautiful piece from a horology standpoint. It was complicated, works like a charm and no loose clicks

From an aesthetics standpoint the below quote sums it up

I agree on both statements.

Yes except leap years.

Hmmm, I was thinking about the IWC DaVinci perpetual digital for my next...

Maybe SkyDweller could stay in the running.

Functionally its not a "wantonebad" watch, but I certainly can appreciate it's amalgamation of form and function, it really is a remarkable watch and as a fan of Rolex and watches in general it's a feather in their cap for sure!

You know, I thought I really wanted a Sky Dweller (not that it's even remotely in the budget at this time :( ) but after seeing it side by side with DD, I think the DD would better suit me. Thanks for the picture comparison. Now I have a new grail to search for!

dshin525 · 23 December 2013, 05:48 AM

I think it looks good...but would have looked great without the date/cyclops.
But then I am a fan of symmetry, hence I love the no date sub.

Nidal · 23 December 2013, 01:35 PM

Too contemporary for my taste. If you see the watch time mag reviews, you'll see that it didn't score as the rest watches of the brand. If this one goes SS in let's say 5 years it will be 21 k give or take. At that point I'll get me a PP.

Chris, what kind of % off the gold sky dweller would be good to get? Thank you.

SearChart · 10 January 2014, 04:37 AM

I tried it on as well several months ago (RG on a strap), I didn't like it at all.
It felt like a big chunk of expensive metal, not sophisticated at all.

tkerrmd · 10 January 2014, 04:40 AM

Awesome watch

masterserg · 10 January 2014, 04:46 AM

I love it! Fantastic watch!

If they made the RG on bracelet, it would be my pick ... things as they are, WG is my favorite.

elcompa · 10 January 2014, 04:54 AM

First let me say that it is a stunning piece. However, does it bother anybody else when numbers are cut off (in this case the 5, 6 and 7)? Whenever I see a watch dial like that, it makes me think that they should have worked out the design better. JMHO....

Passionata · 10 January 2014, 05:43 AM

^not bothering me at all ,it looks perfect for my taste

SixPak · 10 January 2014, 05:51 AM

I would rock the SkD in a heartbeat. And the weapon of choice would be with bracelet so either YG or WG although I prefer the chocolate dial of the everose. Some dislike the busy and asymmetrical dial layout but it's a very bold and striking piece. Not to mention in it's heart is the 9001 calibre which is the most complicated movement ever made by Rolex.
