Rolex skydweller month indicator

[Bemyself]

Hi all,
This is my first post and really glad that I’m able to find this forum. I’m sure that I’ll be able to get useful informations from all the friendly and knowledgeable people here.
My first post or rather a question is regarding the skydweller month indicator. I saw some is in red, some black and also white. So are all this 3 colors are authentic on the skydweller? How are we going to know which dial comes in which color or so forth. I’m just confuse and wish to have some advices here.
Thanks

All are valid colors.

The original white-gold ivory dial model (326939) with Roman numerals, released in 2012, had a black month indicator. The yellow-gold champagne dial model with arabic numerals, released in the same year, also had black indicator.

The chocolate dial rose gold model with arabic numbers, also released in 2012, had a white month indicator.

The red indicators were first introduced in 2014 and all the modern sky-ds have red indicators.

Hi,
Thanks alot for the infos and the reference. Am I to understand that all models after 2014 will come with the red indicator regardless of what models? I’m curious as I’m interested a pre owned( no chance of getting it at the AD) and the one I’m interested is a 2018 full rose gold but the month marker is in white. Just wanted to make sure before putting my money in it.
Regards

It depends on the dial configuration. If it is arabic numeral+chocolate dial, then the month indicator should be white as shown below:



If it is roman numeral+stardust dial like below, then it should be red ...



If it is baton markers+ grey dial, then it should be red ...



IIRC, the arabic and roman dials were discontinued in 2018 Basel ...

Thanks alot. This is really useful. So the chocolate dial with arabic numeral will be in white marker regardless of the year. ( pressumed till now is still white marker)
Another thind I’m seeking your advice is whether I can change the gold bracelet to oysterflex meaning I have the option if both the gold bracelet and oysferflex?

Yes, the chocolate dial with arabics always came with white month indicator, until its discontinuation in 2018-2019.

I don't think swapping gold bracelet and the oysterflex is possible. IIRC, the old Sky-d models (such as arabic numeral+choco dial) have slightly different lug width and the bracelet models have different end-link styles. You can email your local RSC and get the info from their technician.

Best of luck!
