I am thinking of adding a two-tone sky dweller to my collection. I really like the champagne as well as the white dials. But I am on the waiting list for a white Daytona and most of my other watches dials are dark thinking of white or champagne. I am a little drawn to the champagne one because it is a very unique color and would not be in my collection sense hopefully soon will be getting a white Daytona

Please help me with the dial color choice, what do most people here prefer?

Also would i be able to get any discount on a TT skyD or that’s less likely?

Pictures would really help!
Thank you

White is most legible

NattyBumppo · 31 January 2018, 09:45 AM

the champagne looks nice in pics. classic rolex look. A couple ADs have them in stock, and I bet you can get a small discount on an in stock watch. I don't think u will ever get a discount on a pre-order.

Dominik · 31 January 2018, 09:52 AM

White! My favorite.

AK797 · 31 January 2018, 09:56 AM

Black for the unusual sunburst dial.

Kostas · 31 January 2018, 09:57 AM

I prefer the champagne in two tone ...

I’m eyeing one out now , You might see an incoming thread in the near future haha

That looks so rich!!

Kostas · 31 January 2018, 10:10 AM

This is what’s holding me back , I want it as a dress piece , yet it’s so TALL , the thing wears like a 44-46mm , you’d be hard pressed to fit this behemoth under a tight cuff!

watchwatcher · 31 January 2018, 11:10 AM

I know you said lighter dial, but man, that black is soooo hot.

Between the white and champagne my vote would be white, though.

G'ed · 31 January 2018, 11:18 AM

No wrong choice though

DoctorA · 31 January 2018, 01:48 PM

Looks like white is the more popular so far!
How about discounts? Anyone was able to get a discount on the TT skyD?
Thanks

G'ed · 31 January 2018, 02:15 PM

I got about 10% off, AD.

regnant · 31 January 2018, 07:30 PM

White is the best one to me

1William · 31 January 2018, 10:11 PM

I prefer the white dial.

I really like how it can be very dressy yet will go well with jeans!

yxc145 · 1 February 2018, 01:09 AM

have you seen all 3 in person? I have seen black and white. I personally think the black is the most beautiful.

NattyBumppo · 1 February 2018, 02:31 AM

Black or gold for me. Maybe one for each wrist

NattyBumppo · 1 February 2018, 02:47 AM

One issue is that it is basically impossible to see all the variations in one case. The best you can do is make a selection and be happy.

Have only seen the black in pics.

Can I get your detailed impressions on the type of black this is that makes it the most beautiful?

I have a BLRO which has the traditional black dial for subs and gmts but I guess this has some subtle layers or differences that make it special?

PS - Big big fan of American Literature...especially....James Fenimore Cooper "Leatherstockings Tales"....so...great username!

The black dial on the two tone Sky-D is sunburst dial. The color combination black/silver/gold is the best out of the 3 in my opinion. Champagne dial is too similar to the bezel, which doesn't make it stand out. White will be my 2nd choice.

I have seen the black and white (not the champagne) but understand that it’s the same DD dial color
I loved the white but am hoping/dreaming of getting a ss Daytona White dial and I have black dials already so mix it up was leaning a little (just a little) more towards the champagne to keep a variety!

DoctorA · 1 February 2018, 04:57 AM

I was also wondering, if the TT skyD are more available, why do people pay for the ss over what they can have a TT for??

I personally like the silver/WG tone more than silver/YG. But I think it is because the SS are more desirable and have bigger market. It is the same way with Daytona. You can get a TT cheaper than SS.

HogwldFLTR · 1 February 2018, 05:50 AM

If I were getting the TT I'd definitely get the gold dial; I really like the look!!! It is unique to the TT and will be likely the least seen dial.
