Loving my skydweller white-gold, black face!

This is my grail watch, and I was fortunate to purchase from an AD. The 326139, white gold, black dial, strap version. In my opinion, this is the definitive skydweller version. I’m enjoying this watch so much. I love the numerals as they help tell what month it is easier. I love the white insert dial and the contrast against the matte black. I love how this can be a dress, sport or casual watch depending on the band. I love that the majority won’t know it’s a gold watch, but will still get compliments on it from strangers.

Very nice reference, the ultimate below radar PM Skydweller! Nice strap, where did you get that? Visconti Milano also has a few nice strap options for these. The black/red rubberB is great as well!

Sure! It is a Visconti, Milano band. I ordered on Chrono24 since I am US based. I believe you can find and purchase from their site in euros. I can’t post links yet as I’m relatively new to the forums, but a quick search on Chrono24 for bands for the Sky Dweller will show this white band.

I also have a rubberb black/red trim coming in today! Looking forward to making this a sports watch for the summer :). Thanks for all the comments everyone! Really really loving this watch.

Thank you!!

I own the rubber black red strap. Just as an FYI it was a pain to put in as the end links are curved so the spring bars will bend a bit as they don't sit flat.

Patience is key to get it in, I had to get an extra set of bars so I could place the bracelet back on in the future as the ones that will be used to install the rubber b will bend.

I too love this watch! Excellent choice and very cool strap. I’m assuming you have the alligator as well? Enjoy and wear it in great health!

Yes! I’m keeping the alligator for dressier occasions. I will probably keep the rubberb on for the most part for the versatility and ease of cleaning. I don’t expect to swap bands out a lot, maybe a couple times throughout the year.

Thank you for the headsup on the rubberb install. I will keep patient and check for any bend on the retractable bars.

That strap definitely changes the look, but it think the contrast really works here.

Wow that SkyD is stunning. Not see it in this combo before, mainly the SS blue dial. The 9001 movement with the annual calendar and the command ring bezel are a thing of beauty. Congrats.

That is a really nice spec! I was thinking about the modern black dial too, and that rubberb strap is the exact one coming in tonight. Very sleek! Hope it gets some pool-time this summer.

This is one of the (many) things I like about the Sky Dweller. It can fly under the radar.

The strap version of the Skydweller is a real stunner.
