So if you had to part with either the blue skydweller or the new jame Cameron 126660 which one would you keep and why? Anyone would hold more value in the long run? Tell me what you think.

Dirt · 2 July 2018, 12:21 PM

I don't know about value retention.

But I have the original version the D-blue and the Mk II dialed DSSD and they are not going anywhere.
If I had to choose between a 126660 D-blue and the Blue Skydweller I wouldn't hesitate to flick the 126660 D-blue as i'm not particularly a big fan.

Now if only I could get my hands on that Blue Skydweller

I would be further down the track toward my contribution to the boycott

chad362wiley · 2 July 2018, 12:22 PM

not sure on value but blue skyd>

watchmework · 2 July 2018, 01:01 PM

If I had the wrist for it I’d keep the DSSD.

ap1 · 2 July 2018, 01:09 PM

I’d keep blue SkyD, mos def

maton12 · 2 July 2018, 01:14 PM

Both watches will be in short supply for some time, and guessing they will both sell via grey market for a slight premium for a while

Both great watches, and don't see either losing value

The SkyDweller complication is only just over a year now in SS, while who really needs a 12,800 feet diving watch...maybe grab the first one you can, and flip it for the other if you don't like it

indexmatch · 2 July 2018, 01:16 PM

SkyD for me

gttime · 2 July 2018, 01:53 PM

Love my 126660 d-blue wouldn’t trade for Sky D. But the blue Sky D has a much bigger mark up in the grey space at the moment so that speakers to the current market.

I would trade my SD43 for a blue Sky Dweller but that’s because I could still have the DSSD.

woof · 2 July 2018, 02:21 PM

JC for me

scombs263 · 2 July 2018, 04:22 PM

Tough choice. I have an original deep sea blue and love it. I guess having both would be the ideal situation, if it were only feasible to drop that much coin at once. Both are awesome. But I'm partial to the deep sea blue.

rouxeny · 2 July 2018, 05:39 PM

I have the exact same dilemma! Maybe I could take one off your hands!

HL65 · 2 July 2018, 07:12 PM

Blue SkyD

Blue SkyD

brandrea · 2 July 2018, 08:03 PM

Sky Dweller

lapince · 2 July 2018, 08:03 PM

Sky D of course, just a better watch overall

Racerdj · 2 July 2018, 08:47 PM

For me it would be the one I wear the least.

JayHantz · 2 July 2018, 08:49 PM

I vote for the Sky D, especially in blue. I think it’s a great watch.

1William · 2 July 2018, 08:57 PM

I like both watches and I guess I would have to figure the money into it. What did you pay based on what can you get. With that information I would then see if I wanted to move one. I prefer the DSSD JC over the Sky-Dweller but that is just me and one could easily prefer the other.

SearChart · 2 July 2018, 09:09 PM

I'd keep the DSSD

Nairn1980 · 2 July 2018, 09:23 PM

That’s a tough one as the blue sky dweller is gorgeous.

However I have an original 116660 JC and would I swap that for a blue sky dweller? No, so that probably tells you my opinion.

Value retention wise, they’re both strong, but I’d say the JC be more of a classic .

travisb · 2 July 2018, 10:21 PM

For me, Deepsea would be the keeper. The 126660 would be the last one standing in my collection if I had to sell them all.

The SKyD appeals to a certain lifestyle. It's not the watch I would take everywhere or do everything in, it is incredibly beautiful and useful but I don't work in an office. Now the D-Blue is almost the same as some may say it doesn't dress up in suits well and it is a bit heavy.
But I chose the D-Blue, I can do more with it and the dial is more appealing. I don't care about investment potential, I buy my watches now to keep and enjoy.

enjoythemusic · 2 July 2018, 10:37 PM

Easy, keep SS SkyD blue because JC's 44mm size is just too big for my wrist. The JC is a truly great timepiece, yet the SkyD has some awesome complications that are very useful during world travels... and is soooo easy to set too!

SkyD keeper FTW IMHO

HogwldFLTR · 2 July 2018, 10:46 PM

JC no way, Blue SkyD is the one!!!

Pw92676 · 2 July 2018, 10:51 PM

Would keep blue skydweller

ccaballero · 2 July 2018, 10:57 PM

I’d keep the Dblue.

Marzz · 2 July 2018, 11:06 PM

Sky Dweller all the way.

watchwatcher · 2 July 2018, 11:19 PM

I would go Sky as I have enough divers in my collection, but you....should go for what you like.

Urosfan · 2 July 2018, 11:40 PM

Sky dweller for sure
