Perhaps The Beautiful of All!?

This watch is not my favorite, it might even get the least wrist time of all my watches, but when I wear it and I'm completely blown away.

I think it might just be the most beautiful Rolex out there!

It's weird, sometimes your favorite outfit is a pair of jeans, a hoodie and sneakers, despite having an amazing bespoke suit and shoes in the closet. Basically what I'm saying is, on a daily basis, I enjoy the comforts of less complicated watches both in appearance and functionality, but this watch is truly incredible.

In the sun, in the shade and back in the sun, and some other shots I took in the past...

Could you try your Oysterflex on it, or is the lug width different?

There is only one I like more..... That won't stop me from adding a Blue Sky some day too. Certainly the king of the SS watches IMO.

The standard OF is 20mm, the new white gold YM on OF is 21mm and this watch is 22mm. So unfortunately no. But I don’t care much for the black strap, blue dial combo anyhow. If anything, this watch with a dark navy gator strap and a set of endlinks would look amazing, IMO.

Very nice, fellow Audi owner! The Rolex blue colors are great. I have a DJ2 in blue and a Bluesy. Mesmerizing!

Fantastic pics, sir.

I agree that I wear my Sky-Dweller only on occasion, but when I do, I can’t help but glance at it and wonder why I don’t more often. Very versatile and all around fun watch.

Congrats on that very beautiful watch and you take some stunning pictures! I need to step up my watch pic game. Can’t argue that’s a great looking watch.

Cheers

Could be a contender since there isn’t an
All SS Bluesy Sub with Blue Sunburst dial !
The waiting list would probably be 100 years.

Sunburst Dial in Blue!
As for stainless steel, that is for cooking ware and sharp tools.

I think almost any of the Day Dates or the YG Daytona with the green dial is better looking. But that's just me. If we all liked the same thing, everyone would want to be married to my wife.

Having finally gotten one, I will say that it looks nice in pictures, but the wrist presence is unbelievable and is hard to describe. I will say that I think my RG DD olive dial is my overall favorite watch and the one I haven't been able to stop staring at, but I'm thinking my blue dial SD is a close second based on how magical it appears on my wrist.
