Incoming RG SKYD !!! I thought I could only have one Grail, I was wrong
I've wanted a rose gold on bracelet watch for some time now and after wearing my YM2, the RG Daytona just was not beefy enough for me and the DD didn't sing to me like the SKYD. I never actually got to try this on before I received it bc of lack of availability at the ADs, but it's magnificent and beautiful in everyway. There is now a battle for my favorite watch in the rotation, this and my 116688. Thanks DavidSW. Happy holidays to you all Name: ImageUploadedByTapatalk1418902887.312117.jpg Views: 626 Size: 72.3 KBName: ImageUploadedByTapatalk1418902901.930678.jpg Views: 593 Size: 213.7 KBName: ImageUploadedByTapatalk1418902926.586923.jpg Views: 592 Size: 47.3 KB

Very nice!
Tell us - does the Rolex crown on the crown point straight up when in position zero? I ask as I have handled two Sky Dwellers and both crowns were straight up!

Thanks, EJ

Yes, it does. Rolex apparently has a patent on this,

Congrats man. I love mine. Momentarily flirted with trading it for the new chocolate dial but decided the sundust dial is nicer.

Also have the rose Daytona and know what you mean. I like wearing the Daytona when I feel like being a little more sporty. SkyD just feels dressier to me with the bezel.
