Sky Dweller Question
Sorry if this seems silly, I did some googling and couldn’t find anything on the website.
Does Rolex make an all WG Sky Dweller with a blue dial? If so, does anyone have the reference? Context; I was at an AD and they had a Blue Sky in the back of the case but told me it was all WG when I asked if it was SS/18k. Decided to check the used market when I got home and didn’t see anything about an all WG version. |

I've come across an all white gold myself at an AD. Black stick dial. Weird to see these the dealer wasn't sure how it came to be.

Gotcha, thanks for the help guys. I was slightly paranoid that maybe it was SS and they were just trying to keep people from purchasing it. They also had an all WG black dial but that one I was able to find online

WG 326939 in all its iterations, bracelet and strap was discontinued at Basel 2018. An year before that SS/WG bezel 326934 was released. So speaking of origin 326939 did not have a blue dial, that was applicable only to 326934, but I presume some AD specified it with blue dial. So what you have seen must be at least an year old sitting in the coffin. Check with Chrono24 and you will see discounts up to 20% for BNIB 326939.

Yes they exist. I posted a pic on one a few months back.

Rolex actually made a limited run of the Sky-Dweller in WG with blue dial and regular stick markers on a bracelet. I tried one on myself back in March while visiting an AD in Miami. It looks identical to my SS blue dial Sky-Dweller which is probably why Rolex discontinued it.

I tried one on in Burlingame, CA on Saturday (SkyD blue). It is heavy. Mid 40's. Just sitting in the case next to a TT Sub, a Milgaus and an Air King. Saw a WG Skydweller at another AD in San Francisco on Friday with a black dial.
