Update the Sky Dweller? They just updated the watch with the new movement and added the Jubilee bracelet option to the line. No need to mess with excellent!
:) I have a 326934 (black dial, Oyster bracelet) and a 336938 (intense white dial, Oyster bracelet). Yes they are big watches, but I love their presence and feel. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I agree. Plus the recent movement and configuration updates - I don’t see any sea change “upgrade”

I'm a big fan of the current configuration.

The only thing I've never liked about the SkyDweller is how the cyclops overlaps the 24 hour ring. I'm a big fan of the cyclops on Rolexes in general, but on the SkyDweller it always looks like a bit of an afterthought somehow. In fact, I've always thought the whole date window arrangement looks a bit awkward on what is an otherwise fantastic watch.
I'd love Rolex to find a way of showing the date around the edge of the dial via a centrally mounted hand (like in a Valjoux 7751). That'd be much nicer for dial symmetry IMO..., although it would mean both date and month displayed around the edge of the dial.

The Sky-Dweller is it what it is, like it’s always been. It’s how it’s supposed to be. I’d rather appreciate it for what it is than keep wishing for something else. YMMV.

I too think the current thickness is mandated by the thickness of the movement and needed shock protection

Oddly, I've never noticed it. Well, I'm sure I have but it just didn't register because it's a non functional area that doesn't need to be visible and my brain kind of looked past it. Compared to my other Rolex watches with a date window, the disk of the Sky Dweller is more recessed because of the layers of complications. Getting the date lit and the cyclops to project it will have takes some maths and physics. At 42mm, a circular date scale around the dial would make the dial look very busy what with the month also being in the vicinity, not to mention the loss of the Classic Line aesthetic, which is obviously important to Rolex for the Sky Dweller. |

That is the most beautiful watch Kat! Stunning, and I agree with those on this thread that it would be very hard pressed for Rolex to improve perfection that already exists. 😂 |

I really love the complication and it’s a beautiful piece. The annual calendar is ingenious and it’s great that it’s also a symmetrical dial. I went to try it on again today. It’s just way too big for me. Diameter and thickness |

I love my SkyD. I’d like a Stainless Edition like Kat’s or the blue version!
