Any new version Sky Dweller seen

I've noticed that you folks across the pond get the newly released models before us Yanks. Anyone seen the steel and gold SkyDweller yet?

I did, saw the black dial, weight is considerably more than the SS, felt nicely substantive.

No, the TT weighs more than the SS, and the difference is more than on the Subs so it's more noticeable a step up.

Understood. Thanks for clarifying. How did the ss wear weight balance wise?

It felt pretty light and easy to wear, but then I was wearing a gold Nautilus all day.

There's only the demo model as of now (unless you're Roger Federer lol).....but they are supposedly weighted the same as the real thing....not sure about the balance though for a thicker piece like this.
