LHD GMT or Steel Sky-Dweller

Purely hypothetically but what would you choose given the chance between the 2?

Black SS SkyD for me. I like the VTNR, but I would definitely prefer having a BLRO.

On the Pelagos LHD, the LHD stands for Left Hand Drive. In any event, it means left handed.

And because I'm NOT left-handed I voted for the SkyDweller.

Man....

Very different watches (as in category).

Those with wrist smaller than 7in, I think would default to the destro.

That said, the Skydweller is in a different horological league and certainly is a more upscale reference with substantially greater wrist presence.

Unless you are in love with green, I'd say the Skydweller is the choice for most.

I prefer the GMT. The SkyD is lovely, but a bit more heft than I prefer in that type of watch.

Sky Dweller is something special and an horological landmark for Rolex. VNTR is something different for the sake of being different, essentially offering nothing new past the aesthetic. I suppose that in fairness you could say that the vast majority of new releases across the big brands are nothing more than new versions of the same thing.

Your watch, your money, your choice. Choice is good. We should be grateful for it.

Would vote neither. While I prefer the GMT and only like ceramic bezels, as a right hander I was forced to vote SD.

Crown on left side is more comfortable for sporty wearing not just looks. New first time selling left side watch.

Not for me I wouldn’t, it is to be worn on the right arm if I had it. To their own!

Yes! To their own no force like you said before. It’s beautiful watch on both wrists.

The force was what I would vote for based on my preference. You should wear it as you prefer of course!

I voted SS Sky-D, but only if your wrist can handle its size.

Skydweller in any dial/bracelet combination except white dial, in which case it would be the GMT with jubilee only

The SS Sky-Dweller is my favorite Rolex reference right now. You can not go wrong with any dial color or bracelet.

Sky-Dweller is a special watch. No comparison between the two.
