I am considering another SkyDweller. I currently own a TT White and have no real legibility issues with it. I have not really handled a blue or white on SS. Anyone have any comments on legibility either way?

I have the blue one. No issues whatsoever. It's one of my most worn pieces.

The blue is easily legible and like the white dial, has the advantage of having contrasting hues on the dial and GMT disk which enhance legibility. The black SS is disadvantaged in this respect.

I chose the white dial with TT because the YG hands/indices contrast against the white dial make it super legible. For me the white dial works less well with the WG hands and indices of the SS model but I would not call them remotely illegible.

The blue dial is special. It really transforms the aesthetic. I've also added a Jubilee bracelet to my TT white. Not cheap, but it really suits the watch and it is very comfortable.

Thanks. This is what I was hoping to hear - lines up with expectations.

No issues with the Blue, Black or White dial Sky-Dwellers. I own all three in SS and the and it is hard to pick one as a favorite. I like the Blue because it is more limited but if I could only have one it would be the White Dial. Goes with everything as a neutral color.

From that picture the white looks to be the most legible to my eye

Nice trio William

I think you are right. It is also real similar to my TT white, so I'm going for the Blue, jubilee to mix it up a bit.

Black... then white... maybe if you gave it to me Blue.

I have the white SS and wholeheartedly agree that it is not only the most legible but also goes with everything.

My aging eyes leave MUCH to be desired, have no trouble reading the layout / time with the blue dial version.
