Which Sky Dweller color will stand the test of time?
I know that the Blue Sky Dweller is currently the most demanded color, but I'm curious about your guys' thoughts over the long haul.
Seems blue is super trendy right now but I could definitely see a world where white or black gains more popularity or momentum. But I could totally be wrong. Which do you think will be the most lauded color in Sky Dweller in the future? |

I bought a TT black because I liked it. I don't care a whit what may be the most lauded or which one becomes more popular. Or which one will be "worth" more, which is the real question, is it not?

I believe blue will maintain greater interest.
Although I tend towards white these days. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

It’s SkyDweller and to my eyes and imagination skies are blue :-) Now if I want to pick a color that fades so fantastically under the effect of time and sun that also would be the blue. Can you imagine this dial turning into light uneven sky blue 30 years from now ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not sure we will see much fade/patina on modern watches like we did on more vintage pieces. Production methods are more robust I guess now.

Looks like ultimately people still think blue will reign supreme over time. Surprising to me!

They all will stand the test of time. Which will be most desirable? Probably blue if today is any indication.

All are pretty versatile, and work in so many situations. I would say the blue will always have a strong following and will stay the most requested, but I would be happy with any!

I think white is most likely to show age or damage over time. Other than that, it's hard to give a general rule. A lot depends on the manufacturing process are that time. Honestly, nobody really knows.

Blue is the most popular without a doubt.
I don't think you can ever go wrong with a Rolex black dial though |
