Sky-dweller Blue and Blue-green Dials

[Alfa2109]

I recently picked up the rose gold/blue-green dial Sky-dweller, for which I’d been waiting a long time, and I sold my stainless steel blue dial Sky-dweller to help pay for it. It pained me to do so because I love the blue dial SS Sky. But most of us, at least, can’t have or keep every piece we love.

People, I know, have been asking how the blue and blue-green dials on the SS and RG references
differ … or not. And I wish I had taken a photo of both, side by side, before I sold my SS piece. But I’m hoping the two pics attached help highlight the difference. Three things are unfortunate: 1) The light in which I took the photos was not identical, as you’ll see; 2) the blue-green even in person is unquestionably more blue than green — not as “aqua” as one might infer from Rolex’s website; and 3) the camera tends to want to correct for blue and not portray as well as in real life the subtle distinction of the blue and blue-green.

I had to really look hard to confirm what I was actually seeing!

In these pictures they both look like the familiar DJ/DD/SD blue rather than the new petrol blue/green

Both are lovely watches but congratulation on the RG as I think it's pretty special

You’re right! I hadn’t considered that when looking at the photos. But the blue-green dial really is distinct from both the “old” blue dial color and the SS Sky blue dial color. I wish the camera would pick up the blue green better.

Thanks for the congrats. I’m having a tough time taking it off my wrist.

Wow. Needless to say, I didn’t catch just how badly I’d formatted my original message before I posted it. Nice photo placement, eh? My apology to all readers.

I'm personally not a big Sky Dweller fan in general but if I had to pick one it would without a doubt be that RG one you upgraded to it's a beautiful looking watch the contrast is very nice congrats!

Classic sky d on blue jubilee is one of the best watches in Rolex catalog in my opinion. That new reference is awesome too, but the first is just so so good

Love the RG. The stainless is a lovely watch. The RG is a serious watch. Both nice, but money no object the RG wins this one for me

Had the chance to also try the RG blie/green skydweller and compare it to my SS Blue dial skydweller....blues very similar and almost impossible to distinguish in photos, however one can tell the subtle difference in person...

From my pics, the one with the 3 skydwellers maybe best to see the subtle difference of the blues...
