Sky-Dweller or Bluesy
I appreciate these are watches completely opposite from each other, but interested to hear the thoughts & choices of those between the Bluesy & Sky-Dweller.
Take it away... |

I almost always say Sub but what else is in the collection and are we talking SS SkyD or TT?

I love a sub as much as the next guy, but in this case I’d probably go for the sky dweller. Mainly because I don’t love steel and gold watches. The only exception for me would be the GRNR; that thing is gorgeous.

SD all day long. Don’t get the appeal of the Bluesy at all.

I have both. The bluesy is an absolutely stunning watch...eye-catcher for sure. Will get noticed instantly. You can almost never conceal it. And it is not dressy (at least for me). I use it for casual-dress-down to semi casual to semi-formal dress-ups.
The sky dweller is a classy watch. I put mine on leather straps and it's the most versatile semi-casual and semi-formal dress-up.I have the white dial sky- dweller. They are two completely different watches. Very tough choice. But if I had to pick between the two I would pick both : ) |

I know many would say to diversify the collection, but just looking for a blue dial rolex next & had a soft spot for the Bluesy but then there's the Sky D as well, so not sure. |

I’m a sucker for a symmetrical dial and , therefore, the SD Is not for me. That said I could go for a Glashutte Original Pano where everything is off centre….weird
I recently got a Blusey so I may be bias as well. |

Blue Sub for me. Skydweller is nice in some colors, but overall too large and dial is too busy for my liking. Love the blue Sub however

The SkyD is unique with its annual calendar and sophisticated ring command. The question is do you want this functionality and do you like the dial layout.
I'm a fan of the TT blue Sub, I find it stunning. I like the SkyD, cool piece, but not enough to want one.

Bluesy - SD is too big and I would rather save 5k and get a DJ as they look the same with a cleaner dial.

If it is a choice of either I will always go Sky Dweller. I have a small collection and both fit into it superbly. Each to their own.

Hard to miss on this one, both are great. In this case I give a slight nod to the Bluesy, such beautiful watch.

Upon further review, that’s not even my watch! That’s a friends replica that we were goofing off with and it was in my camera roll. Here is mine! I went back and was like, that doesn’t look right to me either!  DM Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If you live on a dock or beach and mostly wear flip flops then go for the bluesy. In all other situations the Sky-Dweller is the watch to have.
