TRF,

I have blue omega seamaster currently and am about to get my first Rolex. I have decided on the Skydweller because I really like the looks and complication of the watch. I am thinking that I like the Black Skydweller and my question is should I go for the the SS or TT model. The watch would be for daily wear with business clothes. My AD doesn’t have a SD in stock (no surprise), so I will be getting on the list.

What are your thoughts on the Black SS bs TT?

Regards,

NB

TT Sky D (both black & white) looks more elegant than their SS counterparts

Quailhunter · 19 January 2018, 08:07 AM

I’m old and, even to me, two tone watches look oldish. My preference is all yellow gold or all stainless. I do make an exception for my DateJust with the white gold bezel.

Rrpdc · 19 January 2018, 08:08 AM

TT and YG anything looks dated and old to me. IMO

Chadridv · 19 January 2018, 08:11 AM

just a matter of preference. I personally don't care much for TT. If you like the TT more than grab it!

locutus49 · 19 January 2018, 08:13 AM

TT is not for me, but it is personal preference.

Reddy_Kilowatt · 19 January 2018, 08:15 AM

Echoing the "preference" comments. TT and YG are completely not my thing, but it's not my money being spent here.

the first sky-dweller I saw in person is a TT Black dial sky dweller. It is beautiful. That was when I know I definitely want to get a Sky-Dweller, either a blue or black dial in stainless/white gold. You can't go wrong with either, but you will probably have better luck with getting the two tone. Unless you have a good relationship with a dealer, you will be expecting to wait up to a year or more for any stainless. OR the other option is paying a few thousand more for one from a grey seller.

It is actually stainless/white gold.

NattyBumppo · 19 January 2018, 08:19 AM

The TT does seem a little more “dressy”. I am 32yo and I can’t say that I have seen any of my contemporaries wearing a TT Rolex. Not that I really care. The TT is about 4K more than I could set aside for the next Rolex on the bucket list. If I had a 30k budget then it would open up different options like the WG. Is the TT too “old” ? It’s sorta hard to tell without seeing both. My thinking is that the SS with white gold bezel is gonna be pretty flashy as is. Hard to say.

NattyBumppo · 19 January 2018, 08:22 AM

Anyone have some wrist pics of either one? It’s a strange thing to order a watch of which you have only seen pictures online.

Kiddodoc · 19 January 2018, 08:27 AM

TT Rolex watches are beautiful but to honest just get what you want. If you like TT then get it.

NattyBumppo · 19 January 2018, 08:31 AM

I think the second Rolex is gonna be a Hulk. If you have a sky D, then you don’t really “need” a BLNR

NattyBumppo · 19 January 2018, 08:36 AM

Does anyone have some wrist shots of the TT Sky D?

peterpl · 19 January 2018, 08:43 AM

Go look at TT in person. Too many haters and I used to be one but in all honesty they are BEAUTIFUL watches in the flesh. You cant deny that.

Got both. I personally have started warming to the TT's. Get the one that makes your heart flutter.

Not a TT for me, though that's the one you're more likely to get quickly (my AD had one last time I was there if you're interested).

SS was really nice in black when I tried it on.

NattyBumppo · 19 January 2018, 08:56 AM

Since I have never seen a Sky D in person, which model would give me the best comparison? Datejust 41?

DJ II almost same size as sky D

DJ41 is slightly smaller

Unless you have patience or connection it’s hard to get SS. Option is to pay a flipper or buy gold.
I would have liked to get SS blue, black and white were not my choices

brandrea · 19 January 2018, 09:22 AM

SS or full gold for me, but to each their own

NattyBumppo · 19 January 2018, 09:30 AM

Full gold isn’t in my millennial budget. At least not yet anyway

NattyBumppo · 19 January 2018, 09:35 AM

I am loving the TT wrist shots. I think it gonna look very nice with a good blue suit.

Is there any hope the AD will discount a watch that is on waitlist? Seems unlikely

I got mine by chance, sales rep took out the watch from proverbial safe after we had a bit of conversation and I basically told him I am only looking for skyD, another place had white and champagne dial available but I wanted black.
I think you might be able to work something if the watch is in stock.

It is not a small watch so try it on before you buy
Good luck

I’m 31 and I don’t feel old. It’s sporty yet dressy high-complication watch.

Go with your heart, ignore the haters.

NattyBumppo · 19 January 2018, 09:46 AM

Thanks for the advice. I wear a size 9 glove so my thoughts are that the Sky D is gonna look awesome.

G'ed · 19 January 2018, 09:55 AM

My wrist a bit on skinny side, 6.5-6.7”. Any smaller, I won’t want to be caught dead wearing this.

The T/T versions are not as in demand as the SS/WG. Start calling ADs in your area and you should find one available and maybe even get a discount.

Happy hunting.
