Skydweller opinion

Good morning all. In the market for a Skydweller. Going with a YG on bracelet.
Trying to decide between the champagne or the silver dial. All opinions welcomed and appreciated, as always.....

I prefer the contrast of the silver dial off the yellow gold case. Gorgeous watch.

for me, the champagne dial is a bit much with the beefy case and bezel. the silver, though, looks great.

My first thought process too. Second thought... I like the contrast of the inner dial on the champagne.....

Congratulations in advance, Richard.

In my humble opinion the silver dial gives it a more contemporary feel, and it would be my option between the two. But, having experienced the champagne first hand, its presence and impact are undeniable. You can't go wrong with any of them. I do prefer my combination wg w/ black dial and leather but all Sky Dwellers are amazing.

Great question...I am having the same trouble making this decision though I haven't seen the silver dial in person yet. I have seen the champagne dial and it does have a huge presence. I am curious to see what others have to say as well.

I've seen them both at the AD. The contrast of the silver gives the face a 3D depth, while the champaign dial blended in with the case and looked a little flat.

Congrats in advance

Champagne for me. The silver is nice but to me it looks cheaper even though it isn't. The champagne screams classic imo

Gold on gold is too much IMO, depends solely on your personality.
