My New Sky-Dweller

I know the Sky-Dweller is not too popular around these parts, but I picked this up the other day and it is incredible. Especially in person, it is really special. The movement is also something you canplay with for hours and marvel over. Here are some shots.



I really like RG, so I have a RG DDII as well - here is a look at them both.


Notice the Sky-Dweller is a lot heftier than the DDII.


A great watch - I think it will really catch on as people see it in person.

Congrats! RG is my favorite (esp. the RG daytona)!

I don't know why TRFers don't like the Sky Dweller but I think it is actually nice...(however, I can do without the red upside triangle...at least something not in red)!

Congrats! Not my cup of tea and definitely out of my snack bracket but ultimately, the only one that has to like it is you.

It does look pretty cool though. Cheers.
