I guess the TRF owners consensus is RG, followed by WG, with YG coming in last place.

Saw all three variants this evening in San Francisco. Didn't really care for the YG, but the RG was beautiful!
 The WG was ok, a bit understated IMO.  Fell in love with the RG, the chocolate dial is to die for. I just need another $38k for it.

The Sky-Dweller is a modern masterpiece - if you haven't had chance to see one in the metal yet, then do. Touch it, play with the settings, get it on your wrist, and then you'll understand
 The RG Sky-Dweller looks great on you, Sam Congrats!

  My 36mm timepieces are cool (please pardon the ash on my hand )... To be honest my 5130P at 39.5 is the best size for my wrist

awesome!!!! no wonder all you guys opted for the rg version, that is the most balanced in my opinion. not that i am forced to chose any of the 3 versions....
seeing that rg ddII made me think whether you could swap the strap for the ddII bracelet. would be interesting to see.

Congrats on the Sky Dweller Sam!
RG with the mouthwatering chocolate dial would be my choice as well

Just noticed that there is a Sky Dweller for sale in the classifieds section (from DavidSW). Wow.

Damn this thread! So I've been thinking about getting the SkyDweller being the first Rolex complication and a beautiful watch. Saw it at my dealer a few weeks ago in White Gold and thought that it was beautiful, but I already have a couple of white gold watches so decided to wait and see what the pink gold one looks like in person. The last few days I've been perusing the forums admiring the pictures of the RG ones, wondering when my dealer will get his first RG one in-stock. Today I wandered into my AD to wish them a Merry Xmas and was greeted by a RG SkyDweller (I probably should have returned his call earlier in the week). Needless to say it was spectacular and I put my deposit on the watch. Now I'm annoyed since I didn't expect the watch to be in so quickly so I didn't bring my Amex with me. Need to wait till next week to pick it up.
I must say that I'm so excited!!! |
