Don't fret Sub4Life, though the thread says owners club it is still for everyone that either hates the Sky-Dweller or it to marvel. Come one come all!

The WG went to a fellow collector and there is NO WAY we can race on the WSH actually impossible unless you have friends in blue ;-) We can set something up if you are genuinely serious

So no box, eh?
Hey Bill, the WG and YG versions come in a special all green box;





Here is what the RG comes with (standard Rolex box) ;-/

Don't get me wrong, I would love to own the WG SD.

I would just have to sell everything I own to have one....

Congrats, simply gorgeous!

Unfortunately for me, the SkyDweller sat too big on my wrists for me to consider it :-(((
The WG with the white dial would be my pick though, the chocolate dial didn't look that good on my asian skin tones! :(

Guys, you made my day. I would never be able to buy a SkyDweller (nor a DayDate II, FWIW) but just looking at those pictures makes me feel a LOT better.

To everyone, may you wear your watches in best of health.

Gratzi sir! This is what it's all about! Horology collecting should be about pure enjoyment and admiration for the mechanical aspects that go into a timepiece, whether it is a grand Patek or a simple Casio digital watch! Anyone acquiring a piece for any other reason is collecting for the wrong reasons.

I completely agree with Tom 1000% here!

From these pics the Day Date looks better balanced on the bracelet, the Sky Dweller looks a bit too top heavy on the leather strap, bit like a Breitling diver does on leather like a Seawolf.

The more I look at it, the more I am really liking that WG model. Now, where do I get the cash for it????

Sensational Sam...... Enjoy......

And good to see Rolex moving forward from a technological perspective rather than just a few visual design tweaks every few years.

But...... unfortunately...... a tad too big for my tastes, as with the YMII and DJII...... . And I have tried them all but somehow, they just felt wrong on me.........much as I would like one or, indeed, all of them..... So max of 40mm for me.....

Beautiful watches guys!
I know this will be difficult for you to believe, but I am willing to trade my Explorer 14270 straight up for one of your Sky-Dwellers. Seriously, think about it. : )
