      @ddtrash They are great for servicing too. I needed a service on an Omega, and also wanted to replace the strap with a bracelet. The bracelet was £600. When I picked up the watch, they advised that Omega hadn’t invoiced them for the bracelet, so they wouldn’t charge me. They could easily have done so. Really good people.

                Near an AD on a get away for the weekend. I had previously thought maybe the Daytona would be a good fit for me, but after trying on I really didn’t dig it at all as it felt small. This one was PM oysterflex. Which was very comfortable though. I really liked the panda dial

                They did have a sky dweller that I enjoyed on oysterflex but it too was PM and they didn’t have any steel versions.

                  @kkibbey23 Were those PM versions available for purchase? Or display only?

                    I was into watches too in a major way. Spent way too much money. But realised I can only really wear one watch at a time and I want a watch that tells my story so one is more than enough to document my time on this planet. Something I can hand down to the kids to remember me by.
                    My wife bought me a Tudor Blackbay 58 blue about 4 years ago as an engagement present and it hasn’t left my wrist since. Ended up selling all the others (some more then 4 times as expensive) as I wanted this watch to start my story, bangs, scratches and all.
                    I guess the same goes for denim. I have two pairs, IH 25oz 555 and Momotaro 14oz, which I’m wearing most days. Still waiting for the fades to set in.

                        @kkibbey23 - The Sky Dweller is an amazing watch. It may be the best traveller's GMT ever made, and it demonstrates how innovative Rolex can be. As far as I know, the least precious model variation is steel & gold. There's no plain steel model.

                          So, Fratello & Czapek are releasing a new collaboration, the Promenade, with a semi transparent green dial. It's €32k, so massively overpriced IMHO, but is interesting because it shows some of the movement. I've always thought Capek's movement is the most interesting part of their watches, so it's nice to be able to see it on the face side.

                            Sky Dweller is a technical marvel. I find the dial busy, and with Roman indices, busy to the extent of ugliness. But there’s no arguing the ergonomic and engineering genius.

                            So many of their watches would look so much better if they weren’t in love with the smell of their own farts. Cut down on the unnecessary text!

                            Think it, be it.

                              @JDelage I've got a feeling that the Fratello Promenade is about twice the price of the standard model. I'm guessing that there's a lot of work in skeletonising the movement, but it's probably not going to cost €16K.

                              That said, I do like the watch.

                                Yes, the regular Promenade is 18k CHF.

                                      @Giles damn. The texture on that dial is something special.

                                          @JDelage I own a steel Sky Dweller with white dial. The marketing and descriptions Rolex use are a touch misleading for this particular model.

                                          The entry level SkyD are called "White Rolesor".

                                          For the SkyD the only white gold on these models is the fluted bezel, everything else is steel. Most other Rolex "Rolesor" models have a precious metal bezel and bracelet centre links.

                                          I agree the movement and way the annual calendar is displayed is remarkably innovative. For this reason the SkyD is one of my favourite pieces in their collection. I also like the white dial best as it blends a bit better with the internal display ring and date wheel (@mclaincausey this helps keeps the busy dial dumbed down a little), plus very few white dial Rolex models out there.

                                          Lovely watch but pretty chunky, definitely try before you buy if you have a smaller wrist. They are not a svelte watch.

                                          There is no 'I' in team …............ however there are five in 'individual brilliance'.

                                            Speaking of white dial Rolexes, the best looking model in recent years to my eye may be the white dial OP from a couple of years ago.
