I tried that model on for size at the Melbourne Crown Casino on Saturday.

It is a beauty and I am seriously considering it.
My wife wanted me to buy it here and then but I was more than hesitant at the Australian price point.

You are a very fortunate man.

Huge congrats! I am a big fan of the Sky Dweller. Annual calendar and integrating the bezel into the movement. Truly a horological delight!

Strange how people change their minds . . .

Some months ago almost everyone on TRF didn't liked the Sky Dweller . . .

But I did . . and still do ;-)

Congrats

Great watch you bought

Enjoy and post some more pics !

That said the rose gold and chocolate is far and away my favourite version.

For me the Sky-Dweller is like Mother Teressa... I have a huge amount of respect for them but never found either remotely attractive!

Of course, to the OP, if you're happy I'm delighted! Wear it in the best of health!

Beautiful machine. I'd like on in white gold.

How does the bezel feel as it clicks between positions? A single solid click? Or a sliding feel?

To be honest . . . than give me the Sky Dweller right now !

That's a lot more attractive than Mother Teressa

And you may keep her . . . ;-)

I had a play with one at the Wentworth BMW golf championships - it is one awesome piece of engineering with the rotating bezel to make adjustments. Congratulations

It looks amazing. I would love to buy one. I think the only reason people hate on it is the price tag.$$$

Congrats on your acquisition. Not to be a negative voice on this topic, but I still can't come around on this watch. The dial bothers me with the circle date function and "Sky Dweller" written low on the dial like it was an afterthought. To each his own and I hope the watch brings you great joy regardless of my take on it.

How close does the DD2 bracelet come to fitting the Skydweller?
