All solid responses gents, even from the folks that dislike the Sky-D.

I love the look of the watch on a chocolate strap. However, sounds like you are already considering selling it someday. If you are going to spend that much I would pay even more and go for the WG or YG with matching bracelet. Not an expert but I would think you would get more of your original investment back. I suspect that a greater percentage of folks prefer a metal bracelet thus expanding your potential market.

After seeing the watch again, decided against moving forward. Will wait for a WG model.
Thanks for everyone's feedback. |

I would not wear a watch with a leather band every day. I do everything with my watch on including showering and washing dishes. A leather band would never make it past the 1st week on my wrist, I would never remember to take it off.

i too would like the RG on leather better... and perhaps also subscribe to the "complication + leather = win" camp...
in the end, after taking the pros and cons, it will still be you who can decide... Quote:
 congrats in advance!

I have decided to wait for a WG model for all of the reasons many of you have suggested.
Thanks for the feedback. |

The WG model is stunning, not a bad decision.

Haven't had the opportunity to see them in person yet.....
My first instinct is the white gold with cream dial.

Congrats on the SKD!! Tried on the RG model myself but the leather strap isn't large enough for my wrist. I can't wait to try on the YG and see it in person.

I'd never buy a new Rolex or any high end watch on leather. Cheaper to add leather later.
