This dial is what makes me like it a lot, indeed. [nt]

A close up of the Rolex Skydweller Steel Blue dial.
Which I find quite spectacular. If it didn't have this fluted bezel, I would already have added it in the collection. But even with the fluted bezel, which is not my taste, I find it super appealing. This dial... Best, Nicolas ...
Someone I know had it
It’s a really nice watch. Personally i would do the black dial but in all reality a skydweller is just a beefed up datejust. The blue does look nice though.
If without the fluted bezel, it will be difficult to adjust the functions...
I like the fluted design, don’t have any in my Rolexes, so it’s good to own one to the mix. Plus the AC complication, fit my collecting style of no redundancy for the brand. Rgds Raymond
Well, sometimes the fluted bezel can be a turnoff. It is just a matter of personal taste.
I quite like the fluted bezel but I am not preparing to own one, no need for the skydweller at this moment. Best regards, Baxter
Looked hard at it
As a long-time Datejust owner (fluted bezel and Rolesia bracelet), I was very interested. This is Rolex's most complicated watch, and in SS. However, I passed on the watch because I didn't need to have an AC. And, the dial looks too busy (for a Rolex). I ...
There were two changes made on the watch that won me over!
First, from Arabic numerals to Stick Index. Second, from precious gold to SS. Rolex definitely got a winner in this watch.
Although i am not a huge Rolex fan
This model in SS and with that blue dail i do like it a lot
The blue dial was my original choice..
based on press/internet pix but when I went to pick it up, a black dial was available for me to compare. I took the black instead. Somehow it looked more "right" to me at that time. Perhaps the white hour markers and the red month indicator blend better w...
But at least here, the fluted bezel is mandatory... and what a pleasure to use the bezel!
The watch is high on my wish list... Fx
Yes Nico, the blue sunburst dial is awesome.
The fluted bezel wasn’t an issue for me in the honeymoon period, as you know. With the lapse of time, I have to confess that the fluted bezel started to irritate me a bit. It somehow looks strange on this sporty watch. Maybe I should stop reading your pos...
People are built with tiny flutes on their fingertips
these engage with the flutes on the bezel for ease of rotation. Rolex says “look at the beautiful dial we gave you... Please stop complaining and buy one!” Mike
Such a nice blue!
I remember seeing it at last year's baselworld, I think this was the real star of the show, a more affordable skydweller with an instense blue dial (whis is also my favourite color!). Only a weird thing I happen to notice (but maybe it's just me): during ...
