Hi everyone!

Would like to share my black and white pair of SkyD.

I began with what few wanted. They make fewer. Two tone Rolesor white dial intro year. Never worn. Original price hanging. It’s a beautiful watch. Never thought I would like a two tone. I will get a rubber bracelet with mount for the Rolex clasp. Stealth.

I just picked up a black dial SS skydweller. Wondering if anyone has tried to order an oysterflex from Rolex for this model. Thanks!

One stand out feature of the SKyD is how well proportioned and slim the lugs are on the SkyD, the best out of the current Rolex line up.

Picked this baby up on earlier this month on 10 August. My holy grail watch.

Dual time zone & annual calendar.

No pin pushers which is often a deal breaker for me.

Robustness and reliability that only a Rolex can provide.

If I could only keep one watch, this would be it. My one-and-done.

One of these days, I’ll have to give my AD’s SA a massive hug.

This watch is my dream come true.

I have a question. When you adjust the hour and minute why doesn't it advance turning clockwise? Is this standard direction for Rolex?

Heres mine I got in 2021, switched from the Jubilee to the Oyster and I find it more comfortable. Hoping to get a RG Slate OF Skydweller next to add to the collection. Love the skydweller line, my favourite actually from Rolex.

I find that the 24 hour dial of the SkyD is actually really useful as an alternative for the hour hand when set to the same time zone, as it makes the time much easier to read at a glance. :)

are there any good aftermarket rubber straps for SkyD apart from Rubber B?
I want to see what it looks like on other coloured straps other than the original black rubber

Picked mine up a few weeks ago! I’ve wanted this for years and I’m thrilled!

Side note, what is it about the SD that makes me want a second iteration? Very much considering a RG variant and notice many TRF members have multiple
