Only if your eyes can somehow miss that massive ring in the middle of the dial.

Etschell · 14 January 2018, 11:56 AM

sticks shorter on bottom so no.

kauffee · 14 January 2018, 11:56 AM

Not to someone who knows watches. The GMT ring stands out and makes it an obvious SkyD.

maybe a DJ on steroid from a distance

bmrisko · 14 January 2018, 12:03 PM

Looks like a Sky-Dweller to me and nothing but a SD...

Chadridv · 14 January 2018, 12:03 PM

Not to me at all. To my wife!? Yeah it’s possible.

breitlings · 14 January 2018, 12:04 PM

skyds look quite different in the wild from dd and dj imho. unmistakable rolex. modern and quite a lot of wrist presence are my impressions when I see them.

dmhines · 14 January 2018, 12:06 PM

Nope. Not at all .

Jcy90 · 14 January 2018, 12:16 PM

No! I think that a white gold president looks a whole lot more like a datejust than the sky dweller does...

Strummer · 14 January 2018, 12:19 PM

No. Not at all.

Nope

Muzz · 14 January 2018, 01:18 PM

Not a chance. There is no mistaking the Sky Dweller.

cop414 · 14 January 2018, 01:50 PM

Negative

There is a DJ2 look with the large batons and large fluted bezel, but it ends there. That watch is in another league, even to the casual observer!

meganfox17 · 14 January 2018, 02:42 PM

A fellow unenthusiastic colleague at my workplace who knows zilch about watches could not differentiate a SubDate ceramic from a preceramic on close inspection, a Speedy manual winding from an automatic Speedy reduced and seriously to my surprise thought the Omega Seamaster 300 Master Co Axial and the Seamaster Spectre were one and the same watch. I sold my Seamaster 300 to him almost 18 months ago and he still thinks he's James Bond.....because once a while, he sends messages telling me how much he enjoys wearing the Spectre watch🤦

Impression: What the Mind Does Not Know, the Eyes Do Not See.

If you wanted my opinion then of course your SkyD has unrivalled dramatic visual impact with great wrist presence

lhawli · 14 January 2018, 03:45 PM

At a glance and to the untrained eye, absolutely could be mistaken for a DJ.

Not to the members on this forum. But for the non-WIS it would look like a DJ.

yannis · 14 January 2018, 05:30 PM

All of the above 100%. To us 5% nope, but to 95% of the population, yes.

Heck, some people on this forum can’t tell the difference between a SD43 and a sub date

CPRWATCH · 14 January 2018, 08:40 PM

Maybe from about a mile away .

Polarbears · 14 January 2018, 08:55 PM

A little bit if I’m honest

Lol-x · 14 January 2018, 09:10 PM

If I was not interested in watches and took a cursory glance at your watch I might well think it as a DJ.....

But if I knew my watches, and I saw your watch as you have shown in the photo I would recognise it immediately as a Sky-Dweller.

If I was in a restaurant, several tables away or across the room and I saw your watch on your wrist, yes, I think I may believe it to be a DJ because I would not expect someone wearing a scruffy faded old shirt to be wearing a Sky-Dweller

1William · 14 January 2018, 09:16 PM

I do not think so.

Mick8moses · 15 January 2018, 12:00 AM

To a non WIS, I'm sure they just see a Rolex.
One of the things I like about my NEW SD43 is that everyone I know just assumes I'm wearing my trusty OLD 14060m when I wear it. I've never shared I purchased a new watch to anyone outside of this forum. I don't feel the need to share my love of watches to those without the same affection.

Exactly...well put, my friend.

If it gets mistaken for any other Rolex at all, it would be the DJ2.
