White Gold Sky Dweller Discontinued?

I know I know, not exactly the headliner

Just looked on Rolex site and can't seem to configure a white gold sky dweller. They seem to be removed completely from the site.

Yeah...that's what I'm seeing too. And looks like the entire range has been moved to stick dials.

maybe you're seeing the "OysterSteel and White Gold"? That refers to just the bezel. Unless the site has updated for you, but not me.

Otherwise I still don't see any full WG models.

WG's future looks tougher in this shrinking watch market that is also so fuelled by the show offs of Social Media.

Yes it’s true that the Rolex won’t make white gold sky d anymore. People who have it should preserve as future value bound to go up. Someone gave reason that the steel sky d killed the market for it. I do not understand why the watch has been discontinued when people who had bought white gold always knew that they are buying it for themselves and not for showing off others. Also, how much money is saved by only having stock dials uniformly across entire range? Romans and Arabic Vs Stick was another way of distinguishing pm watches from steel..

I'm sure they can still be had at ADs until the current production is sold off. If an AD was offering 40% off that means even their impending doom has not raised their value. Maybe once they are gone it will be a different story.
