Rose Gold Sky Dweller on bracelet anyone?

Hi, I’m thinking about the full rose gold Sky Dweller on bracelet as potentially my next purchase. Anybody has one? Care to share your impressions and real life pics?

The SS versions are all the rage, but I’d love some owners’ opinions about the RG version.

Thanks!

RG SkyD is an awesome awesome watch.

I'd had once since 2015 when these were cheap as chips as they say compared to todays prices.

That’s the big daddy of PM models in my opinion.

That is stunning! I love it with the Romans. I have to agree with Mystro ... that is the PM model of PM models.

I would've have expected more given how heavy this model is.

Here's mine... By far, the best watch I've ever owned (and probably will ever own). If you can pull it off, highly recommend the full RG version. FYI - this thing is big and HEAVY. For reference, I have a 7.5 wrist.

Wow... That’s the one I’m after - the rhodium dial. Stunning piece, no question. I’m not sure I can pull it off bling wise though - would it make me self-conscious wearing one?

Haha, that's on you. I can tell you that people will notice it though. I rarely get comments on my other watches, but I've gotten a couple with this one.

I wish they made the Skydweller in full rose gold with the blue dial.

I love the RG SkyD, the ultimate Rolex;

- useful complications all in one.
- full with Rolex DNA sharp fluted bezel and cyclops.
- oyster bracelet without the oversized glidelock.
- only Rolex with crown always up mechanism, nice little gimmick.
- it doesn’t wear as large as the numbers would suggest because of the curvature
of the lugs.

I wear mine as a daily and it holds up very good.
It’s not a in your face watch as some would think, RG is rather subtle.

Yes none of my other Rolex has crown straight up like this one, little but interesting detail.

Love the warm color of the Rosegold. I wonder if the SS SkyD also has the same straight up crown as the PM?
