Not for me however the SS/Blue dial configuration look fantastic. Technically, a very interesting reference. Just to reiterate, a very good value considering it's the most complex watch Rolex have ever produced. Go try it on, it's really impressive in person. (As most watches are: pics don't do it justice.)

For me the WG bezel and SS case and bracelet works better. Black is my favourite dial for the SS and TT. If you like it, get it. It's a really clever yet conventional looking watch.

I put a deposit down with my AD for the TT black Sky Dweller. Getting on a list for a SS one was impossible. After more than a year waiting, with another UK price rise looming, I decided to go grey. When the time came to actually put the money down, I had to admit that it was the SS I really wanted.

That's my story. I can't tell you what you like. But I can tell that you have exceedingly good taste
Thanks, Harry! SS are virtually impossible though...

I have passed on the TT champagne dial and White dial as I have yet tried the black dial.

Fingers crossed one will swing by soon~

You should really try it on in real.

I was on the list for a black dial TT but when I saw it in real I didn’t like it.

Then they called me when they had a white dial and I declined on the phone as all my watches are black dial and I never like white dials, but went in for a look anyway and was mesmerised by the white dial !

You can see my entire collection, this is the only white dial watch I have, because it’s off-white or ‘egg-shell’ white, changes with the light.

To each their own, but make sure you see them in real before you put money down.

Thanks for sharing the experience! And VERY NICE collection!

Definitely need to see them in person before i decide.

Tried on the white dial. Haven't tried the champagne or black yet.

It's always kinda tough as they usually are not in the AD at the same time, and when you pass one, it is another wait.....

Hey guys,

Just wanted to provide some updates, so I stumbled into a TT Black dial SkyD whilst on business trip. Tried it on, loved it!!

But the tax is higher here than home or where I will be traveling next...

So, I couldn't pull the trigger.... Just not ready either, because of the price tag, the complexity and the beauty of the watch... Just not sure if I am ready... Like is this for me?! Kind of feel I need to have some "status" to wear this, I guess that is how powerful this watch is!

Wonder if you ever have that feeling?

Thanks in advance for sharing your experience.

PS. Excuse the quality of the photo, the lighting was really yellow.
