SD all the way! just can't get around the platinum Dayto with the brownish crown and light blue face but this is just my taste... meteorite dial doesnt really work for me either i like plain dials.. rose gold choc dial, YG green dial, rose gold white dial.. those are my personal favourite Daytos. but still Sky Dweller is the upper level, wears heavy tho but you'll get used to it ! Good luck !

I would go with SkyD and PM Daytona, but I would go with a bracelet version. Why not get two awesome PM watches rather than one?

I'm also looking long and hard at the SD. Interestingly I saw a WG on a rubber band from RubberB. OMG!! That combo is just stunning. Check it out.
I'm leaning towards the Choc dial on strap.

You said it yourself, the Sky Dweller is your grail piece.

Dig Daytona's in pictures and love the looks of the plat model, but they just wear to small for my taste.

Go BIG!

Sky Dweller Hands down not even close the Daytona is way to thin and small maybe would work for my small 113lb wife 😃
