Just Picked up White Sky Dweller
As the title says, I just picked up the white steel sky dweller. I love this watch. I've been wearing 39mm Explorer Mk2 for the last few years on a daily basis. So I'm going from the simple to complex. I love that I still maintain the 100m water resistance and a sturdy movement, while having so much action on the dial. Also, I know folks are really into the blue SD, but I've always been drawn to the white and it really is so slick. The dial is almost a silver color, and it really pops in the sun.

Congrats! A beautiful piece not appreciated by as many as should appreciate it. The SKYD is an awesome watch!

Great pick up. Congratulations.

A clever watch both visually and for its user friendliness. There's no such thing as a wrong dial on a Sky Dweller - they're all beautiful.

If you love it, go for it! Start doing pushups on your fingers and beef up that wrist

Huh? You have a Panerai in your collection and you’re worried about the SkyD being too big for your wrist?

It definitely feels noticeably heavier, but not in bad way. They said, the exp is basically perfection on the wrist. Also, the SkyD is probably the upper limit of what works on my wrist. I think these two watches work together really well as a pair, kind of complete opposites in a lot of ways.
