SS Sky-Dweller?

01 - Metals: Is there a SS Sky-Dweller, or are they all now PMs? I see on the Rolex site they have a 'Oyster Steel and White Gold', so can't really figure out if this is a SS model with elements of White Gold, or the main metal is White Gold. I'm not particularly looking for a SS version, but keen to learn everything about the watch.

02 - Waiting Lists: does the SD fall into the same bracket as other SS models and even a YG Daytona, or are they easier to obtain than the other / more popular models?

Thanks in advance for your help.

I think others have already answered the question for you... along with helpful pictures of their watches.

Rolex like to use some pretty weird descriptions - Rolesor being one such. The stainless steel Sky Dweller is all stainless apart from the fluted bezel which is white gold and, in theory, made so to stop any discolouration from handling. The hands and hour markers are white gold too I think.

It is a great watch and my daily watch. But they hard to get hold of - going grey market (with the usual caveats) is probably the only way to get one whilst you have a pulse. :)
