Hi
I have sky dweller rose gold on leather strap, and I consider to replace it for the new DD40 platinum and than I need add 15k$
What do you think? It's will be good move?
A lot of peoples tell me that the platinum is on my mind and it's not good move to pay a lot of money for white metal…
A lot of people tell me that the sky on leather very speicel …
What you vote? DD40 platinum or sky?

brandrea · 21 July 2015, 01:51 AM

In my opinion, plus 10 k is more palatable. Tough decision, but I do prefer the platinum DD40.

locutus49 · 21 July 2015, 01:51 AM

As a platinum owner I can tell you there is no equal. It flies under the radar yet people who know watches will know what it is. And the weight is phenomenal. And it is harder than gold.

Tools · 21 July 2015, 01:53 AM

I'm not fond of Rose Gold.

But I would take a Sky Dweller over a DD any day of the week.

cht · 21 July 2015, 02:07 AM

the horology of the sky dweller wins over the DD, c'mon.

but, if youre' more into things that are sparkly, go with the bling DD40.

prefer the platinum DD, the negotiation is up to you

kilyung · 21 July 2015, 03:26 AM

I love both but platinum every time

nick c · 21 July 2015, 03:28 AM

Keep what you have and buy another Rolex

watchwatcher · 21 July 2015, 04:19 AM

My opinion would be to wait until the hype of the DD40 settles down a bit, so you don't lose your shirt on that trade. Plus gives you a little time to cool off and think about it.

Another alternative would be to flip for the SKD on bracelet, which would get you a little closer when and if you're ready to flip...and be spectacular.

Santiago79 · 21 July 2015, 04:30 AM

Hello everybody,
I am new here , Just joined the forum ;)))))

To me, you should stick with your sky-Dweller. It is much more impressive and technical that the DD platinum. And you should considered the weight of the Platinum. I tried it once and it is extremely heavy on the wrist.

AK797 · 21 July 2015, 04:55 AM

Well I'm falling hard for RG nowadays and my next is hopefully a RG on strap so I quite like the SkyD too, but hard to turn down a plat DD40, esp the criss cross dial, so long as the price is right.

The DD40 does have the new movement which is good in the horology department though

Danny83 · 21 July 2015, 08:50 AM

15k is too hi

Ravager135 · 21 July 2015, 09:02 AM

The Sky Dweller is growing on me however the DD is a classic. I'd invest in that piece.

Hi
Why?
The retail price of the plat is 21k more than the sky, and my sky now not new, it's pre owend …
I'll purchase my sky for 26k and get now 25k, and the plat the retail is 60k and I get it for 40k…

I was talking in terms of complications.

thomaspp · 21 July 2015, 10:18 AM

I love rose gold.

I love annual calendars.

I love rolex day dates.

Conundrum....

I would enjoy the SkyD for another year or two and would wait until the prices of the 40mm DD come down. My 2 cents.

MCO1 · 21 July 2015, 11:31 AM

That is a move I might consider, the Sky Dweller is a beautiful watch though.

zama · 21 July 2015, 07:08 PM

I think quite different pieces, need to go with your heart, getting an exact figure on changeover is hard one is a new watch and the other while relatively new has not been great in the second hand market.

travisb · 21 July 2015, 07:30 PM

DD40 would win that battle for me.

Racerdj · 21 July 2015, 09:11 PM

Of all the Rolex watches I have owned, I kept my Sky-Dweller and Day-Date. I really enjoy both. I, like you, have been smitten with the Platinum Day Date.

Andad · 21 July 2015, 09:24 PM

You are at the top of the Rolex tree with either of those models, you just need to decide which branch to swing on.

I'd hang with the RG Sky Dweller.

gummy · 21 July 2015, 10:22 PM

Sky Dweller to me belongs on bracelet...So I would do that trade in a heartbeat.

Platinum DD40 is beautiful on the wrist - I don't think you'll regret that trade...

White Gold Sky Dweller vs Platinum DD40 would pull me in too many directions and would be a tough choice.

fmc000 · 21 July 2015, 11:37 PM

The Sky Dweller is going to become a rarer watch IMHO and therefore much more collectible than the DD in the future. Moreover, 15K to add is way too much. I will probably invest in a RG bracelet for the SKYD (is it possible to add one on a leather watch? I don't even know, actually).

Kneecough · 21 July 2015, 11:44 PM

I prefer the day-date, but would be content with owning either. I like the idea of waiting for the DD40 hype to die down a bit so you get a better deal.

Well in that case go for it, I thought you had just purchased it new for some reason. I guess its fair.

Lpugliese · 22 July 2015, 12:19 AM

DD40 no question

SearChart · 22 July 2015, 12:21 AM

I have tried the SkyDweller RG and I didn't like it one bit, it felt too large and heavy to be on a strap, I might like it on a bracelet though since it is a very nice looking watch.

The new DD40 is imo an even nicer looking watch, especially the platinum one with the glacier blue dial.

subtona · 22 July 2015, 08:33 PM

DD40 yes
