Skydweller Blue vs Green

Anyone have any pics of the green vs blue SD side by side?? Videos would be best if anyone has seen any. it's look very nice, green is very cool but not sure if pilots as practical as near blue suits mostly.

No photos. Blue is the way to go through.

Blue. The green looks a bit washed out to me IRL

Black is still my favorite

I’ve seen both in person and they’re both stellar.

Blue. I saw the mint green in the flesh last weekend that a buddy got offered on when he had a blue ordered and he bought it. It’s beautiful but not so much for me to trade him his green for my blue.

Green is hot right now, but as mentioned above, it’s a bit washed out. Still lovely.
Blue is incredible, and would be my preference between the two.

I think it looks nice on the jubilee, but looks chunkier on oyster. As it’s a large heavy watch, I think oyster edges it for me (I know you didn’t ask about bracelet lol)

The green is minty and washed out to me. I’m a blue guy.

Green is the "flavor of the month" for that watch, but imo, blue is the way to go.

I prefer blue but I’m bias. Still think I’m going to sell it. Gets the least wrist time. Beautiful watch. Coolest complication I’ve used. Wish all watches were this quick to set! Yet my love for it hasn’t grown.

I've owned the blue skyd twice now, before the green was available, if it was, I would have likely went with the green.

I own the Blue on Oyster and recently a friend purchased the green SS SkyDweller on Jubilee.
The new green is stunning but if I had the choice I would still go for the Blue. I feel it has more depth and vibrancy.

I’ve seen both and handled both. The green is nice but very mute and washed out. The blue is very striking and dynamic.

They're both best. I prefer blue. You do you. The only way to know is to meet one in person.

Blue by far to me. Although I prefer the white dial and then the black dial.

My blue Sky-D on Oyster is incredible. Sporty, masculine with the Oyster. Stunning in person.
