Diracpoint grapples with a common collector's dilemma after Rolex's 2017 Baselworld announcement: his beloved white gold Sky-Dweller, purchased for its innovative Caliber 9001 movement, is now available in stainless steel at a quarter of the price. He seeks community advice on whether to keep his precious metal version or sell it, given his original principle of valuing movement over case material.
I hear what you\'re saying but I love the new stainless steel white dial it looks clean and very crisp it opens up the dial more and very easy to read stunning regards,
looks cleaner and better. Have you also seen the new black dial? Best, Thomas
I would take it back to the dealer that you bought it from as selling it now will be rather painful. Not a great place to be in but clearly Rolex had it's reasons. Hope the AD will treat you well when taking it back in and offer you good value.
we will see it more often. My 2 cents about you concern if you are not into good seek it back and with the extra fund buy a second watch
And having read on some forums they would never release a non precious versions I resigned it to unobtainable status but now they have done it the black version could be my first Rolex, really like the subtly of the annual calendar indication, and the bezel functionality and the steel bracelet, makes it much more of an every day wearer. Certainly a great watch but if I had the WG version I would see what the markets are saying and try to move it on, although I don't think you will be the only on
I have been putting off getting this piece due to its price, now perhaps I can start saving for the SS version. As for you sir, I would keep it, a WG Rolex still retained a good value and people would know easily its a WG over the SS version. Same movement dressed up differently, yours in a Tuxedo, the new one in plain Nike sportswear...
