I initially thought the Skydweller looked too busy with a jubilee bracelet, but seeing the Skydweller with both oyster and jubilee in person, Jubilee is very appropriate and really nice.
@rogergrant4557 ай бұрын
I love the Jubilee bracelet on the Datejust BUT not on the Sky dweller. The Sky dweller has too much going on on the dial, so the oyster bracelet cools it down and gives the entire watch a more sophisticated look! 😊

My 2 wish list rolexes are the Milgauss Z-Blue and the Sky-Dweller. I always liked the oyster bracelet but I have a jubilee style on a raymond weil freelancer diver and love the fit and look. When I saw thew sky-dweller in person I much prefer the jubilee. I love the sparkle of the fluted bezel with the center polished links of the jubilee. Seeing the blue sky-dweller in person it's a bit darker than I expected so I almost prefer the black or the white dial.

@@dstjoe I hear you on that. The simplicity of the Explorer II is very appealing. It is beautiful without the glitz. I feel like I could wear it nearly anywhere unlike a bluesy. I wouldn't think of bringing a bluesy out of country for fear of being a target on the street or it disappears from the hotel safe. And not sure I would want to wear in downtown areas in the US neither.

Nice review! I have the Tudor panda as well, I originally bought it on the black strap and have the original bracelet as a spare from another Tudor in my collection (Harrords'). That bracelet is quite heavy, the watch is not light by any means and adding such heavy bracelet I found the combo to be quite heavy to wear. That is my only negative with it, other than that I love the watch. It does look and wears amazing (sportier!) on the black strap with white stitchings

I believe the GMT and annual calendar are the best complications. The fact Rolex built them together in the Skydweller is impressive, but I just can’t like the way Rolex did it. The calendar is annual, but one can’t read the month easily, and maybe mistake the GMT by date. It’s a GMT, but one can’t read the GMT hour easily. It’s a watch, but its dial has so much going on that makes it hard to read time. In conclusion, the Skydweller has what’s best put together in the worst way. Almost like the Brazilian national football team.

Ok. I just saw your note. I have an 8” wrist and this watch (reverse panda) looks great but it’s a beast of watch in terms of weight. It weighs at least 60% more than my Datejust. As much as I love owning this watch, I think if i had your wrist size I would recommend passing. It’s a full size watch that appears larger than the 41mm is measures.

Totally get where your coming from i rarely get caught up in the hype, however fancied a new purchase and the reverse panda became available. Couple of months in, now the honeymoon period is over I’m also debating to trade in for something else. Its truly a great watch, but it could be improved massively with minor adjustments. Also to me its a chunk of change just sat there. I have other tudor’s like the original GMT, which I didn’t get until last year. That was about a watch connection not hype of year, so guess we all get caught up somewhere. 👍

Skip forward a year or two. Post Covid flip frenzy. Suddenly the hyped Tudor panda is tanking on Chrono as the watch market cools down to normality. The knock on effect being it’s now appearing unloved in multiple AD windows. It’s still a nice watch but it’s golden bubble has burst. Maybe we’re crazy and only list after stuff that’s out of reach. Once we can readily get it it’s… meh, maybe another day. Bit of a sad state of affairs that the only reason it was hyped was that there was a market driving it to be flipped for profit. Take that machine away and the rug is pulled. Tudor also moving to METAS and T-Fit means anything not in this bracket will tank as savvy owners want the latest tech. So bye bye short lived Daytona for the masses, let’s see what they bring out next. PS their aggressive price increases may backfire as they price themselves out of their own market.
