I want a black dial watch. I have a line in a black jubilee sky dweller and a pre owned white gold day date. Can’t have both. Always loved the president bracelet on the DD. But I love the dial on the sky dweller. What would you choose if the $ wasn’t much of a difference between the two?

Day-Date.

The black dial Sky-Dweller is my favorite version, but if DD is an option, I will almost always choose the DD.

I’m surprised that a pre-owned DD is roughly the same price as a new SS Sky-Dweller?

I’m assuming the DD is an older 36mm previous 11 series gen. I wouldn’t wear a 36mm to be honest. Sky-D this time. And in a blue dial. The sky is blue. Happy hunting.

For me it would be the day date, skyd is beautifull but to big for my taste.

It would be for a 41mm dd2. And yes, the dd 2 would be a bit more. I’m saying money aside…

I'd go DD if I could get a comfortable fit. This can be tricky.

I'm not a fan of the DDII proportions and I love the black dial Skydweller.
Skydweller for me.

HogwldFLTR · Today, 12:10 AM

I find I grab the Sky Dweller a lot more than the Day Date, fwiw. My recommendation is the Sky Dweller. No photo of a black dial DD40, sorry.

The DD II would be the watch if in good condition and complete.

The Sky-D, is that a PM, TT or SS piece? If SS, I personally would go for the Sky-D if your wrist can handle the 42mm size. I love that bright black dial against the SS! Otherwise, I would go for the DD.

I didn't read through all of the other responses before I posted my previous comment. I didn't realize that it's a DD2 in question. I would like to change my vote as well for the Sky-D (in any configuration) over the DD2. Not a fan of the proportions on that model.

t65tampa · Today, 08:42 AM

I’m guessing the price difference is significant - the DD2 could cost twice what the stainless steel Sky-Dweller does.

Even though the Sky Dweller is a large watch, it wears comfortably and is balanced well in the bracelet.

The DD2 is a cool watch, but I never felt it looked harmonious in design and proportion like the 36 mm and 40 mm versions do.

If you’re dying for a bold big gold watch, forget your two options above and get a gold Sky-Dweller!

You can’t go wrong with any of these watches, but of the choices above, if I were to have one one, it would be the gold Sky Dweller.

Good luck with the decision! Great problems to have!

You really need to try a DD2 on first, if you have not done so already. That might change your entire disposition on this deal. For me personally, I engage each day with the DD2 avoidance mode enabled.
