In actual fact, the white dial is the rarest. Not many people realise that.

Nope

According to my Ad they do get 5 times more white than blue.

But the people who take blue unfortunately are more likely to be flippers, hence sometimes there are more blues sold trough Chrono24

The watch looks great, can’t say as much about the pics with that leather string tied around the wrist...I would lose that in a NY minute....

It’s a fantastic watch! A little thick but otherwise perfect in many ways!

Hi Guys,

I just got mine last week (Black)

The ring command bezel has a bit of play if you press down on it is this normal?

I wore a Planet Ocean for a few months before buying the Sky Dweller - I view the Rolex as a fairly slim watch in comparison. It feels a 'normal' sized watch to me.

i have to ask...

What size wrist are you?

The Skydweller isn’t a small watch, yet you wear that watch like it was made for your wrist. You must have a large wrist size?

I’d say it’s the first time I’ve ever seen a picture of a Skydweller in a photo where I haven’t thought it’s too big for the person wearing it.

I have a 19cm wrist , however it is very flat. I do wear a Deepsea as a daily beater and the Daytona ( which is rather small for me) but it is all just a matter of getting used to and fashion , which I don’t care too much about ( not so long ago men used to wear 36mm)
Deepsea does look like a sub on me tough.

Here is a size comparison Deepsea / Daytona
My perfect size is between 42-45mm, still doesn’t keep me from wearing the Daytona

Yep must be pretty flat to wear the SD as well as that. Looks great.

Haha there are a lot of guys who wear 36mm watches still...

Haha incredible .. you won’t believe how many have asked me this question :)
I get more questions about that leather strap than about any watch .

Well it is simply a natural leather strap bought on amazon on a big role , cut and wrapped around my arm three times and fixed with a knot . Voila :)

Originally I had the idea for that band to optically take the height away from my beloved Deepsea ... well the rest is history ;)
