Thoughts on the blue Sky-Dweller

Sure the Sky-Dweller is Rolex's most 'complicated' movement in production with great innovation, and the dial is wonderful and easy to read, yet being my #1 "Lucky Timepiece" has brought me good things.... consistently.

Example: I desired some luck the other day, put on SkyD Blue, and the next day three checks arrived AND a text from my AD concerning a rare, very rare timepiece i've been after.

JMHO YMMV

PS: Wearing SkyD Blue as i type this.

Can I borrow it until I get the call/text ? Shouldn't take long. My wish isn't that rare.

(Friendly humor and truth) Nope, no way Jose! This timepiece has brought me much luck over the years.

I love mine. Mostly worn with jubilee but it’s nice to have options

I'm on the list for a blue SD, but I'll never get it, which is just fine because it's too big for my svelte wrists anyway. I envy you larger gents that can pull it off.

For me, I've always said that this is best all round watch that Rolex offer to the market.

As long as a) you can carry it off b) actually get one and c) get some quality wrist time with it then you'll get an immense amount of pleasure in the piece.

I have both the Rolesor Blue and White dial, both on oyster, and I am waiting on the Mint dial.....which I'd take on Jubilee or Oyster bracelet.

Also have one of the early Everose models on the Alligator, not Oysterflex, strap.

Am over 3 years on the waiting list for a blue Sky-D on oyster. The waiting is terrible)))

Absolutely, but I really think white gets overlooked around here. It truly is beautiful in person, much better than in photos

I love my blue sky dweller on jubilee. I don’t find it too too heavy or large but it is a thicker watch. It’s very easy to read and the annual calendar complication is fantastic. It did have to wait 3 years for mine but it was worth the wait.

Blue dial is sensational

[Andad]

As you say Steven, the engineering is amazing and that blue dial is spectacular.

And it seems to be working well for you.

[Linuxpenguins]

It’s obvious why this is one of the most highly sought after pieces within the Rolex catalogue.

Great looking watch however if you want to tell the time go white dial.

[brandrea]

Beautiful watch OP, thank you for sharing your thoughts. Nothing like finding a watch that feels like an old friend

Not wrong there

What are the thoughts/opinions on the blue dial vs the green....

I was all set for the blue which is gorgeous, however I recently had a chance to see the green dial which is equally stunning....now having a tough decision between the two....will probably go with the dial that's offered to me first....interestingly the green dial has soared in the gray market and now commands a £3k higher price than the blue..

And as others have said, the white is simply beautiful....

[Harry-57]

Choice is good. I prefer blue. I can't tell you which colour you like best. The grey price difference doesn't really reveal anything past the mentality of the seller.

Great watch, congrats!

Similar to you, I had the white dial (two tone) and sold it, and found myself missing it. I now have the blue dial and absolutely love it. I would encourage you to get the jubilee bracelet for it, it's great for some variety and is actually more comfortable than the oyster and a very different aesthetic (I have both bracelets).
