Skydweller Changes?
Would anyone consider a skydweller with a dome bezel, thinner case and of course oyster bracelet? I love the movement. It’s so awesome, but the weight and thickness of the watch, and my recent discovery that I don’t love the fluted bezel causes it to get little wrist time.

I love it how it is. The fluted bezel makes it IMO

I like it just fine how it is. The bezel has an important function. I prefer the Jubilee bracelet because it is so comfortable but the Sky dweller on Oyster is plenty comfortable too. It's nice to have the choice.

It’s always been the conundrum… how to pack a bunch of complications into a thinner case

I like it as is. I don't find the case too big or thick and wears great in my opinion.

If they could fit that movement in the (39.5mm) DJ41 case, I’d buy ions in a heartbeat. But with my 7inch wrist it just didn’t look right to me and I couldn’t get a proper fit

I like the Sky-Dweller just as it is.

It would be hard to turn functionally, and also leave a lot of fingerprint marks.

I appreciate everyone’s feedback and of course it’s just a matter of opinion. I’m no more right and what I feel or think about the watch than you.
I think when I put it on and I set the watch I get that feeling every single time like damn this is one of the coolest complications. I have ever put my hands on. I’ll be at. I’m not a pro or massive, long-term collector or enthusiast. For the movement alone, I think I have kept the watch but every time I put it on just the way that it wears something about it just feel massively comfortable even on jubilee. I think I’m in love with the movement and just wish it was thinner and while I think I like the fluted bezel on a day date, I’m wondering if I just am not a fan of fluted bezels as a whole |
