Daytona, I appreciate the Skydweller, but it's not for me.

Tough call for me as owner of both but if had to choose one it would likely be black SkyDweller. Now if between white SkyDweller and white Daytona then Daytona. My black SkyD and black Daytona are 2 of my favorite watches in collection followed by my white Daytona. I will say that the SkyD is the most bang for the buck though of any Rolex I own.

Love the black Sky Dweller, I’ve yet to see one in person. Hopefully soon. Do you think the Daytona is getting most of the votes because of its rarity? Granted it’s a gorgeous watch, just looks special.thx
Thx

I think it is purely a more popular watch with mass appeal. I love both SkyD's and Daytona's and think they belong in any well rounded Rolex collection.

Daytona white dial. I'm also waiting impatiently for this watch and will continue to do so until I get one from an AD. I thought $17-18k was ridiculous for this watch last year and I sure as hell am not paying $20k for one now.

The Daytona is useless - the SkyDweller not, so easy choice for me; the latter.

If there was no shortage and all references were easily available, I’d take the SkyDweller. I significantly prefer it (both in terms of style and functionality) over the Daytona.

However, as things currently stand, the white Daytona every single time! They are becoming as rare as unicorns.
