This is the best subject line I've seen here in a long, long time.

Gimoozaabi · 17 April 2020, 04:03 PM

Sky Dweller no doubt about, (1) more interesting and unique caliber in terms of complications and (2) it is visually appealing to me compared to the AP.

alex.cicollo · 17 April 2020, 04:05 PM

Totally a bottom here :)

Rolex always :)

SD. I’m just not into that style of AP, think it looks like a toy vice a wristwatch.

Agoloz · 17 April 2020, 07:18 PM

Sky Dweller...

sgwatchguy · 17 April 2020, 07:56 PM

Both are large for my wrist but...

SkyD.

Rolex, that AP looks far too 'busy' imho.

guanxi · 17 April 2020, 09:15 PM

Rolex SD by far!

Xerxes77 · 17 April 2020, 09:39 PM

In this case Rolex

Fishrus · 17 April 2020, 10:38 PM

Would normally go for the AP but the skydweller wins in this situation. Not a fan of this offshore dial

Benzsiam · 17 April 2020, 11:27 PM

Not a good match, you should compare with regular AP RO not RO Offshore.

Dr.Brian · 18 April 2020, 01:51 AM

I like the AP RO style, but not that particular one.
I’d probably take the SkyDweller of those two.

joe240 · 18 April 2020, 02:41 AM

Rolex. Clever annual calendar, more robust for everyday use, and better looks.

mickyd329 · 19 April 2020, 07:26 AM

100% SkyD.

It was not meant as a comparison, which one would you would you rather own between the two!

mobster600 · 19 April 2020, 12:54 PM

The Rolex is a timeless choice. Your tastes may change with the AP.

SSCosmo · 19 April 2020, 02:24 PM

Between those two, the Skydweller, but mainly because I don’t have one yet and I have a couple of Offshores. I do have to say there are some really ignorant responses in this thread about the AP. The Offshore has established itself as a classic design in its own right over 25 years and it’s the Skydweller that has yet to prove itself as a classic Rolex design. Also, AP steel is no easier to scratch than Rolex. I get more noticeable scratches on my Rolexes, especially the deployant clasps, than on my APs. It’s funny to me how Rolex fans can have such myopic views of the world of watches.

myporsche · 19 April 2020, 03:58 PM

Without trying them on and not being a fan of the Offshore line I would say SkyD, but after trying them both on I would go for the Offshore, the SkyD is way too thick and top heavy for me even though it is a beautiful watch.

Top! But whatever you like best

Thank you for all the inputs, believe it or not it matters. After careful evaluation as well as taking everyones input indeed I have no need for the chrono as they do look quite busy! I am going to go for the diver offshore white dial but with black rubber strap instead. The sky-dweller is a two year waiting list if lucky!

Wcdhtwn · 20 April 2020, 01:13 AM

Annual Calendar over a stopwatch you’ll probably never use.

Great choice your going to love that watch, very fun. Feel free to experiment with rubber straps, I think it comes with 2, a white one?

Kimber007 · 21 April 2020, 07:20 AM

Some of you have never held an AP before and it shows. There is a reason one brand is in the Holy Trinity of watches and the other isn't.
