You are right. I got the blue DJ41 to give for my son as a gift if I couldn't get the Sky Dweller by the time he graduates.

SD complications is interesting, but don’t like the busy and unbalanced dial. So Daytona for me.

The Daytona with the Oyster Steel bracelet wore very comfortably, however I agree with the above quoted post.
Picked up a new SD today with same Steel bracelet and apparently due to the case thickness difference vs. the Daytona, will need to add a link.
Despite the minor adjustment,the 42mm case does look Excellent. Both references are a win.

Difficult decision. I have the WG Daytona 116519LN OF. So for that reason I'd have to
go for the Sky blue. All things being equal very tough call

But I still like it more especially TT
The Daytona has one of the most busy dials out there.

I have a black face Rolex, and a blue on the way, so I’m really thinking white.

What do you guys think? Skydweller or Daytona?
I wanted the blue or black Skydweller but my AD said there was no chance, but I could have the white one. I wasn't sure but I really love it, the dial isn't a flat white, it's a more of a pearlescent light grey colour. It's really nice.

I had the same decision to make sometime ago. I wondered if I was being influenced by the hype that goes with the Daytona. However once it was on my wrist I realized that there is a reason for the hype. It really is that good.
