Sky Dweller SS Blue vs Daytona WG Blue

[1William]

I prefer the Daytona but at 38.5 mm it is a little small on my wrist. I have owned several Sky-Dwellers and they are a fine watch but I have no real passion for them and they moved along. If you are paying retail for the Sky-Dweller and have the wrist for it that might be the way to go. If you are paying Grey prices for the Sky Dweller then I would look else where. The PM watches will always be PM and while they are all special you do not see them a lot. The Daytona at a discount would be nice.

Thanks everyone!

Both watches look so good. I never buy any watch over msrp and normally I love PM.

For Daytona PM, I prefer YG with green dial and I think it will hold the value quite well.

Try them both and see which one sing to you more.

The Daytona is my favorite model but that is not my favorite expression. If you have a decent sized wrist, I’d pick the skyD

The PM Daytonas are actually 39.5mm. On the SS case and YG bracelet case is 38.5mm.

Rolex lists the Daytona (SS and PM) at 40mm, of course, and with the ceramic bezel it certainly has a bigger/chunkier feel than the previous versions.

Always surprises me when guys say the Daytona is small. I find it quite big, or just right, on my wrist, which is a shade under 7 inches. I guess it's a matter of perspective.

In addition, which one do you think will hold its value better? If I am to get a used watch, there's a huge premium of £7-8k for SkyD blue, but WG Daytona is probably slightly below the retail price. If I buy one of these I am going to keep it but it will be good to know that they won't lose its value over time...

Skydweller. When I tried on the WG Daytona at an AD and was thinking YOLO, I was curiously underwhelmed.

If you have no PM then the Daytona, otherwise the SkyD.

Blue skydweller. Blue Daytona is pretty but too small and bezel is scratch magnet.

Wow, what a choice. The WG Daytona has to be one of the all time most beautiful watches. I’m hoping eventually for the blue sky D so that’s my pick.

Sky blue SS is rather too bright for my taste
The ceramic bezel Daytona is more low key ...would have appreciated
more of a panda look in the white dial

Since i tend to travel quite a bit, the choice would be SkyD blue.

OP, do you travel or time things more often?
