The WG version with stick dial I believe is rare, not sure if you can order one from an AD now, but the 2017 Master Catalog has it listed. I have only seen the black stick and blue stick personally:

The pictures I have are the DavidSW ones:

I was told by my AD that only 10 came into the US. Not sure how many were made total.

It is a very interesting question and I would like to know the definitive answer to this question. Did the White gold skydweller ever come from the factory with a blue dial? I was told by my AD that the blue dial only appeared on the 326934 SS version. So what do we know about this combination?

Yes,for sure an all WG Blue SkyD came from the facory .ADs confimed ,also the scarceness of it.. It was in the catalogue.

Would have been a great buy in 2017 !! ( The wisdom of hindsight ! )

Anyone on TRF that owns one,I wonder ?

I would be very surprised if more than 50 were made in total.

Interesting comments. Have seen some discussion elsewhere on the forum about this topic, it does seem blue dial/WG combo is pretty rare given the limited production period.

That being said, when I look at Sky Dweller references the stainless steel case versions appear better proportioned because of the 22mm lugs vs 21mm on the precious metal cases IIRC. That's only my opinion but with bigger/thicker cases I feel a little wider bracelet is better.
