2 tone jubilee sky dweller vs 2 tone GRNR .. what would you choose?

I want a 2 tone for my next Rolex. Thinking of getting a black dial jubilee 2 tone sky dweller or the GRNR jubilee. What would be your choice and why? .. my wrist could handle both sizes

If I needed a professional model to fit a need/niche in my collection, I’d get the GRNR.
Same scenario for the SkD.
If a one and only….SkD, it just fits my lifestyle, attire, etc…better for me personally. Both are great choices.

Both are great. The annual calendar complication doesn’t seem that useful to me, and the Sky D is pretty big. I pick GMT

Why do both of these references not sell for much above their retail prices?

The GRNR would be nicer if they had not half finished the bezel but I'd still take the Sky Dweller.

GRNR. I like its looks and fit better than the SkyD.

Tough choice! Both are stunning, but I’d lean towards the Sky-Dweller. The black dial with the jubilee really pops, and it’s such a versatile watch—you can dress it up or down. Plus, the functionality with the annual calendar is a nice bonus.

2-tone sky dweller on jubilee. The white dial in particular looks stunning.

GRNR would be my choice, not because I wouldn’t like the SkyD but it’s just so darn big.

I would vote for the CHNR if I wanted a Professional model in TT, but between these two, GRNR.

GRNR.

Sky dweller looks amazing either all steel or all gold.

Best of luck.

Sky D more formal/dressy……GRNR more sporty. Correct answer is both are needed in a collection.

GRNR for me, the SkyD is top heavy for me and all else looks out of proportion except the unique dial that appeals.

GRNR for me as well, the TT SkyD is somehow not looking as good as the SS or PM SkyD's.

GRNR all the way. Comfort and design is superior, IMO, despite being a less complicated movement.

I don't like the date setting on the GRNR and love my SkyD. I guess my choice is clear.

I would also go with the GRNR - it‘s a very cool watch.

Sky dwellers are one for the big rigs out there. They're essentially a XXXL DJ and look comically large on average sized wrists. The GMT is a bit more universal in fit.

SD is a very unique watch. If it fits you well, that would be my recommendation.
