Hi everyone.. I had a rare privilage to tried on both the YG and RG but not the WG yet due to lack of stock. Personally, I cant decide till I see the WG version. I didn't really like the skd till they are on my wrist. These are amazing watches. Love the details and the functions.. Functions that I can use everyday. Anyway, check out the pics below and let me know what you think.

A.

B.

C. Wait for the WG?

P/s those who have doubts on whether is the skd are indeed worth the extra over the dd2, seriously, these watches have to be handled to be truly appreciated. IMHO don't put it off just yet, give it a try and you might be hooked.

Well I think you're going to end up waiting for the WG anyway...

... you didn't think it was too big?

drockadam · 2 March 2013, 02:43 PM

I saw the Sky Dweller on Thursday, a marvellous piece. I personally think you should get a 36 DD, much more classic size.

salem65 · 2 March 2013, 02:43 PM

Don't even bother looking at the white gold version. The rose gold is very nice and I think you should choose door number A.

joe100 · 2 March 2013, 02:57 PM

The 36DD is the one I'd have

tedscott3 · 2 March 2013, 02:58 PM

Looks huge on your wrist.

rolex75216 · 2 March 2013, 03:19 PM

B looks amazing!

jlc123 · 2 March 2013, 03:23 PM

The white gold is my favorite, so I'd wait.

adamlea · 2 March 2013, 03:26 PM

Great looking watches. While you can't go wrong with YG, WG, or RG, there's something about the RG that just pops, for lack of a better word. On the Sky Dweller, I think the RG has more of a classic, yet distinctive look than the YG or the WG. And it compliments the dial better. So, I'd go with option A.

Good luck with your choice. Keep us posted.

HRV · 2 March 2013, 04:37 PM

Looks quite big for you

Psmith · 2 March 2013, 04:49 PM

Wait for the WG

Tank1734 · 2 March 2013, 05:13 PM

Wait until the WG version comes out and try all three of them on and see which one screams at you.

That's a lot of coin to have regrets...

Dream99 · 2 March 2013, 05:21 PM

sorry it looks like a small clock on your wrist

Bangel · 2 March 2013, 05:53 PM

I am yet to warm to the Sky Dweller in pictures or in real life.

From your pics, if forced to choose, I think the YG model looks better on you.

As others have said, wait to try on the WG.

watchf · 2 March 2013, 06:59 PM

Sky Dweller doesn't attract me but from the two pics you posted the RG looks better although it does seem oversize for your wrist. Full YG fluted bezel style suits DD much better without the distraction from Sky dweller's while circular sub dial.

1William · 2 March 2013, 09:58 PM

I would wait to see all three and then make a choice. If you don't then I don't think you are making an informed decision, unless you are clear that you want the YG or RG.

mjclark32 · 2 March 2013, 10:57 PM

The yg looks best on you IMO. They both look a bit large for your wrist, but if they're comfortable while on who cares what I think

impalass · 2 March 2013, 11:06 PM

No offence meant Jennifer, but it looks like the Sky Dweller is wearing you.

Imo you'd be better off long term with a Day Date, and YG seems to contrast better with your skin tone than RG. The WG would look rather bland in comparisome to the YG and RG imo.

Best of luck with whatever you decide, as long as your happy in the end is all that matters.

travisb · 2 March 2013, 11:09 PM

Might as well wait, as to make sure you've seen all your options.

gpfps · 2 March 2013, 11:16 PM

A 36 DD would be good choice .It's a classic now and will remain so with 36 ygDD .

SWISSAHOLICS · 2 March 2013, 11:26 PM

I would wait to see if Rolex launches SKD Rose with bracelet. It comes with bracelet in WG and YG but only on strap in Rose. I am honestly waiting myself to see if perhaps Rolex introduces that at Basel this year. SKD is gorgeous in Rose tone and will look striking with an all RG bracelet. But if you can't wait, I'd do the WG.

piper · 2 March 2013, 11:33 PM

Get the RG - it's incredible!!

VICI · 2 March 2013, 11:35 PM

IMO - the YG is too much gold.

I'd choose the RG without question!

Nelsonjoe · 2 March 2013, 11:36 PM

Far too big on your wrist!

The Sky Dweller is way too big for your wrist.
Choose something smaller.

kilyung · 3 March 2013, 12:19 AM

Wait for WG or RG on bracelet (Basel)

Wllnv19 · 3 March 2013, 12:29 AM

I'm tend to like WG more but in the Skydweller it's not my favorite. Go RG!

thomaspp · 3 March 2013, 12:30 AM

Awesome! Chocolate or WG for me. The dial on the YG is just too loud.

I'd be surprised if they came out with a new bracelet 1 year after the 1st release. Do you really think this is a possibility?

DoxaDavid · 3 March 2013, 01:11 AM

What, they didn't have this one in stock for you to try on?

I'm sorry Jenn but I wouldn't chose either. It's your preogative to wear what you like and as long as your happy, that's what's important.

Since you asked for opinions even though you didn't ask about size, if I was standing in the store and you asked me which model looked good, I would tell you it is too big and to find something a wee bit smaller.

Do you think this looks good?

Good luck with whatever you choose.
