Skydweller for sure! Got offered the rootbeer three times, bought it finally and didn’t bond with it and sold it!
Skydweller is a keeper for sure!

The Sky-D I find rather cumbersome but looks sublime.

The Rootbeer feels just right and looks rather mundane in comparison to the Sky-D. The Sky-D in the flesh just reflects the light like crazy, the PCL, the Bezel, all shimmer.

People think that a TT watch will pop more, but I find the Rose gold actually tones down the pop from the polished surface. A PCL Stainless will pop much more...

They are both different watches and both have their merits.

This may help your decision:

Both great watches but SkyD for me out of those two. The only wrong decision is not to get both.

SkyD Blue > Root beer > SkyD White > SkyD Black but there is not a wrong choice. I think it might also depend on what the rest of your collection looks like.

Two totally different watches. Other than that, you can’t go wrong with either. The Everose is a soft red gold that goes better with certain skin tones. The SD is a bigger and heavier watch that looks like a DJ to the average person. This means it looks very “Rolex Identifiable“.

The GMT TT is more beautiful but the SKYD is an horology marvel, movement vs aesthetic, hard to choice, I will get the SKYD because is an annual calendar made by my favourite watch brand.
