2 tones vs steel
Hi,
I’m trading my sea-dweller 2 tones (steel and gold) for a Sky-dweller steel, blue dial. In your opinion, is this a downgrade or upgrade? Thanks for your input. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Welcome to the forum.
Is this a straight up trade or is there some extra money involved? |

I prefer the complications of the SkyD so imho it’s an upgrade.
The material of which a Rolex is made doesn’t make it better or worse. Just personal preference. I like the TT GMT line very much and have the CHNR and 116713 whilst many prefer the steel BLRO or BLNR. Rolex are all finished the same whereby a Patek clearly differentiates the level of finishing between SS entry level i.e. Aquanaut vs a PPC.

Some money is involved as my SD is a 2021 and the Sky is a 2023. Roughly 5k difference. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Are you happier? If so, then it's an upgrade

I wore a TT Sub for 15 years. IMO a SS model is more versatile than a TT. TT is better in a larger collection.
A SkyDweller is a much more advanced movement and in its own league over any diver. How that design plays in your own personal style is probably the biggest factor.

The Sky-Dweller is the one for me in SS.

It’s a reasonable trade. Just going to throw this one out there. If you like TT for the same money you can get a TT SkyDweller.

If I was doing the trade and owned the Sky I would want 5K to do the deal. I would act fast before he changes his mind!!

I find that the Skydweller is a cool watch, but looks too large on every guy who has one. So, for me, not a good trade, unless you have a very large wrist.

Two excellent watches. It’s an “upgrade” for you if you prefer it.

The Bluesy rules - it’s a classic that should be a part of any complete collection.
All other TTs can go to hell. |

I really enjoy my blue SkyD. Feels amazing on the wrist. I don’t get the size comments unless ine has a tiny wrist. Never let the watch wear you.
A few years ago I found a mint TT Sub w black face and picked it up. I just couldn’t connect with it, and I tried hard. |
