Between those two, and while I’m not a fan of any black/Yg combo, I’d go with the SkyD.


The JC has that beautiful blue dial, but it also has a bunch of silly writing at 12 and 6, it sits oddly on the wrist, it’s almost 210 grams and 17.5 mm thick, all of which will eventually get annoying.

What else is in your collection? Do you already have a gmt/dual time watch?

For me, it would be hands down skydweller, I have one incoming with blue dial.

Honestly it’s your choice.

To me neither are lookers but exceptional engineering. I’d grab a regular DSSD or all SS SKD if it were my wrist.

They're both great but the JC DeepBlue is preferred.

It's entirely up to you.

I'd go with the Sky Dweller.

Depends what your lifestyle is like and where your current collection is at. I have the DSSD and love it. It’s not too big and very comfortable. The TT SKYDWELLER is a stunning piece. If you have other SS pieces and no PM I would go with the SKY. Cant go wrong with either piece

Both are great, just pick the one that your AD offer you first.

I have DSSD JC, gorgeous dial, heavy like PM watch.

I got offered SkyD black dial, I passed and waiting for the blue dial.

With the exception of my 16600 for the pool, DSSD JC gets the wrist time. My favorite watch.

I had the SD43 and found it ungainly and top heavy. The DSSD is a whole level higher in uncomfortableness…so with that option I’d take the SD, but then again that isn’t particularly a watch I desire. Sorry.

I have the DSSD JC. I can confirm that it's totally comfortable. Sometimes I have to check my wrist if it's even there, it's that comfy.

Yes, if you switch from a Sub/DJ/etc. to the DSSD you'll think it's heavy and thick, but believe me after a couple of days you're used to it.

My wrist is 19cm/7.5in.

I agree with all of this

JC just because of the clasp. I am unable to wear anything modern that doesn’t have glide lock.

Deep blue, it's a sub on steroids plus the blue in the dial makes it all the more special
