Skydweller Owners or Admirers

Is there anything more special about the fit and finish of the sky dweller model that's above and beyond the fit and finish of other solid gold models?

Or is the fit and finish of the sky dweller your basic Rolex fit and finish?

As an annual calendar does the sky dweller automatically adjust for months that have 30 days versus 31 days?

What about February during a non-leap yr?

It's a typical Rolex.
Annual calendar is good for all months except February.

PM Sky-ds on bracelet seems to be heavier than other gold bracelet models such as BLRO, WG daytona, Smurf etc. Could be due to larger (42mm) size. The head seems to be heavier.

Platona is heavier than Sky-ds. Not sure about PM YM II.

If fitted properly, it feels awesome on the wrist.

You only have to adjust at the end of Feb, every year (no matter leap year or not),

That's quite the beauty; anxiously awaiting the stainless/WG Rolesor to arrive at the AD. Hopefully before long.

Please clarify what happens on February 28 or 29.

I thought an annual calendar displays February 29 every year and that you have to advance the date to March 1 only on non leap years.

After Feb 28, it (sky-d) goes to Feb 29, 30, 31. You have to rectify it manually every Feb, leap year or not.
