I understand the appeal of the bracelet and the reasons most of you are giving to prefer it, but I do feel the croc strap gives the Sky Dweller (and the Gold Daytonas) a different and very appealing look. It's somewhat more warm than the bracelet, it helps bring out the dial, particularly chocolate and black, and it adds lots of character.

With this said in the end there are no wrong choices, it's just a case of personal preference. It's my first Rolex without bracelet and I'm really happy with the look and feel very comfortable with it.



Cheers!

Gentlemen,

For the argument's sake I decided to make a small test so, yesterday, I borrowed uncle's Sky Dweller on bracelet as seen below:



It is obviously overall fantastic and I enjoyed the added weight of the bracelet. I was wearing the Daytona and the wrist feeling is totally different.

But, this said, for me I still feel that the strap not only looks more elegant but feels very comfortable.

Anyway it's just my personal opinion and I'm happy with my strap choice...

Love it, favourite version to be fair, it makes it very light and the rose gold with the chocolate dial and brown strap is classic. Sky dweller is fast becoming a very very hot watch
