Lovely.... the Sky Dweller is a watch I'd really like to have. The blue dialled version is quite hard to source at a reasonable price.

Are you happy with it? Any early thoughts?

I think it's such a clever design.

Want.

I have one of those too, people never seem very compimentary about it but at the time it really was something quite different and I still love mine!

I wish I had the full set of strap changing gear from new but mine just came on it's own in a regular box, I've totally lost track of how old mine is, maybe 96/97?

Yeah they are massively underrated imho, I love the completely indestructible feel.

I have the strap set, but only the wallet and tools not the dive table etc. Tbh it’s pretty useless, the straps are super long to go over dive suits etc so very impractical.

Nice thing to have though!

Hardly anyone knows what they are and people do lump it in with the regular Tag negativaty when you tell them what it is before they see it, plenty of people think it's awful looking too but I think they are fantastic and so pleased I have one

Thanks, apologies for the poor photo, hard to not get the phone reflection in the picture.

That looks great! Really grown on me in recent months.

Keep coming back to this after years of not wearing it.
Lovely dial let down by the dodgy logo at 12 and a crown that doesn't seem correct.

I am delighted with it. I declined the blue face one, whilst it was very lovely I have a nice blue face watch already and I wanted a white one.

Early thoughts? I really like it, it is pretty chunky and the multifunctional Bezel is a great idea and simple to use.

Very Nice watch.

In what way is the bezel multifunctional?

You can grate cheese with it.

maybe it goes clockwise and anti-clockwise. It can also remain still.

Perhaps the wrong term was used. The Bezel is used when setting the annual calendar and GMT Complication by moving it to one of four positions.

From 3:30 onwards...

Having had a quick look at the video I would say it's the correct term. Didn't realise it did that, nor that it was an annual calendar.

Very interesting.

Like all brilliant ideas, they're incredibly simple. The bezel function and the use of the hour markers for the month are very clever - simple to operate and clever in design. It is the most complex movement Rolex make and, at retail price, a bit of a bargain I reckon.
