I have to give Rolex this one. If I am going to pay $16000 for a watch, it has to impress me. Now this is something that really impresses me.
The Chinese will fake one for 500
$16,000!? What? I thought they were way more. Like, triple that
@@ekimandersom4478 fake people wear fake garbage made from slave labor supporting cartels. Have respect and get a Seiko or G Shock if you can’t afford a real Rolex
@@jacobpfeuffer962 what a garbage ass opinion. Some reps are so good that the price difference between a rep and genuine isn't worth paying. If you can't afford the real deal, fake it til u make it. But yea, good luck with your G shocks
@@jordanj9069 maybe he is lucky that he Has a AD willing to give him one as a repeat customer. Other than that no one is buying one in the grey market for less than 20k+
The best most useful Rolex currently made. Everyone wants the Daytona but how many people really need a timer day to day. The GMT function is truly useful for travel and an annual calendar with month indicator thrown in puts the Sky-D into a category of one
I bought this watch for my father as a Father's Day gift.This is the first watch I bought in my life. My father love Rolex brand, and it was time for him to take off the seiko that had been around for 20 years. Thank you Jenni for letting me know about this watch. Greetings from Finalnd.
And please one for me- i love giftˋs like this 😜
You rock
Amazing gift. Am surprised you were able to find a sky-dweller tho and an AD willing to sell you one without having spent plenty $ with them before.
Hope your dad is loving it!🎉
The sky dweller is definitely there most innovative product from Rolex in the last twenty years. It is the cleanest annual calendar design that is easy to set up. There use of bezel to set the watch is simply genius.
More like in the last 50 years.
Raymond, try 'their' use of etc, as it is the correct one. Incidentally, I purchased a brand new car half the price of this Rolex.
Who needs an annual calendar? Let the power reserve run down and it's a PIA to set again. Complications aren't Rolex's forte
Annual Calendar + GMT = Perfect Time Teller !
Rolex Sky-Dweller is a testament of engineering ingenuity ! Even more so as it comes from a house not renown for complications.
The sheer size of the watch and its height make it quite a peculiar piece ! Surely not for the faint at heart !
Valuable and greatly enjoyable review ! As always !
0:05 Not just the "full steel Rolex", the blue one. I got the call from my AD on it last Summer and think it's absolutely perfect. I love it at 42mm as well.
I just think for a dial that already has a lot going on, adding 4 lines of text over and above the branding is lunacy.
Definitely not a simplistic watch ...
My Grand Seiko has 4 lines of text like this watch. It's the best watch in my collection. In a few cases, more really is more.
It’s a tool watch. It should state it’s specs. Don’t you hate getting a 2mm screwdriver when you really needed a 1.4mm
@@ricecakeboii94 there's plenty of space that can be used on the back.
@@ricecakeboii94 Rolex actually lists it in its classic line, not professional line...but I hear you. My AD called me on my blue dial last Summer and I definitely see it as a tool, yet it works equally as well for dressier situations.
I love mine.It is my favorite out of all the watches I have.I do have an 8" wrist so the watch doesn't look that
big on it.Spectacular watch the bezel looks awesome when light hits it
Kieran Kennedy Sky dweller is obviously the best Rolex. Submariner, get me an SKX.
Given the technical complications this watch sports and the numbers of parts (about 50% more) this ROLEX is really value for money and most likely a solid investment going forward as pricing could go up in the future. Haven't been aware that it is equally hard to get and that the blue dial/steel case seems to be among the most desired models currently. I hope one day it will be mine!
If they can shrink this watch and movement down to 39 or 40mm (a modern oyster case width) and get the case height to 12mm, this becomes the ultimate Rolex. It's got the water resistance, the annual calendar, and the GMT function plus a big power reserve. It would be an instant classic.
Very interesting, I had no idea this watch had so many tricks up its sleeve. Thank you for introducing me to this very interesting Rolex 😊👍
it is the most complex watch from rolex
@@WatchUnwind And largest.
Damn you gotta ❤️ that’s impressive I’m super jelly
I like how you show the watch on 2 different sized wrists, it helps to tell how the watch actually fits on the wrist!
Its lovely to watch a vid an instantly appreciate a watch more than you ever did before. Wasnt a big fan, but I believe I look at this watch differently. Thank you for that.
This watch is beautiful. Great engineering by Rolex. One of the drawbacks for me is it’s height and diameter. Having worn a regular DJ, Tudor BB and just tried on the DJ 41, I think this watch would be more than I need/want on my wrist. I’ve toyed with whether or not I’d put it on my wish list and as cool as I think it is, it just isn’t practical for me at this moment and seems bulky. I’ll more than likely sell the BB at some point and transition to a DJ41 full time. It’s big enough and slim enough for my wrist!
While it's too big for me, the Skydweller is a super cool watch. The fact the bezel is mechanical and a key piece operating the watch is simply amazing. I'd love to see them put this design into other applications, smaller preferably!
I like that you go into the tech and mech of the watch, and you show how it is working. Very informative. It is always enjoyable. Keep up the good work. You are a good communicator.
I came into this video not thinking much of the sky-dweller, but you've completely blown me away with this one. What an amazing watch! Thanks for this one, Jenni. Keep up the great content
Great episode! Doing one for the Sky-Dweller has been long overdue. I love mine 😁
Happy to see and hear your passion for the Skydweller. I'm a lucky holder of a blue dial Skydweller that I managed to get in 2017 for retail. Even tho I wasn't there on the day I could pick it up, only had 24 hours to decide and never seen the watch in real before.. I can only say that it was my best purchase ever!
Great vid as always Jenni!
Just love this watch.
Hope it gets more accessible at retail price during the economic downturn🙃
I have bypassed the SS dilemma, a bimetal champagne dial Skydweller bought from AD at retail, to me more elegant, less than an SS model on the gray market. Most of my collection have a GMT or World time function, besides date the most useful complication for me!! The Bimetal Skydweller is in my opinion a bargain, incredible complication, very easy to use and read, solid construction and I cannot think of anything on the market that competes at the price point??? Great Chanel Jenni, I thoroughly enjoy your reviews!!
Christopher Lyddell Agree. I wanted the SS Blue Dial, but the AD had the Two Tone Black dial. Never looked back, no longer interested in the SS.
‘Datejust on steroids’ the best expression ever lol
Great review! The SkyD is an amazing piece of engineering! The engineers that designed this one should deserve some sort of special award imo. So many functions and features put into such a small package. I love it and I would put in my vote as the best Rolex out there!
42mm is not small. And they should not get an award, because the really innovative watch companies deserve it. Every bigger company has a watch with those basic functions.
Al ex "Small Package", try it and you'll see how seriously thick it is. It wears like a 44mm at least
@@Super3xtr4 Yes, I realize that 42mm is not small, but I felt there were quite a few features put into this watch for the size that it is. There are other manufacturers that have larger diameter watches and do not have a fraction of the functions the SkyD does. Back to the Rolex line, the Yachtmaster II and the DSSD have the large size but not as many functions as the SkyD. I do know there are other companies that have even more complicated watches like Patek Philippe and Jacob & Co, but some of their prices are for deep pockets. The SkyD is very appealingly priced.....If you can get one at MSRP that is. I don't know....this model was pretty impressive to me at least. :)
@@IULENZA Please see my reply to Super3xtr4. I've seen one of these in person, and yes it is a larger piece, but I still want one! :)
Would love to hear your take on Milgauss
I love this watch. Just wish it was slimmer and smaller all round and came with a jubilee bracelet 😞
And less expensive....!
We can change the bracelet but the rest is needed for the mechanism
Just means it’s not meant for you. I believe each Rolex model is like Thor’s hammer. Only the worthy can swing it.
I think it would look great with a Jubilee or President bracelet!
If I ever get to the point where I can afford it I'd put a jubilee on it
Beautiful watch and thank you for the explanation on how to set time/date/month. This watch should be 40mm at the most and a little thinner imho, to allow a much-dignified joy of wearing it.
Stunning piece. Registered my interest for this. Few months wait I think, don’t think they get many in at my AD (black dial)
Jenni 🌹 a good watches reviews with beautiful smile in it
I was lucky enough to be able to buy a blue dial sky dweller from my AD at RRP. I registered my interest and after 12 months I received a call that one had arrived. I am so pleased with it, such an awesome watch.
how do you do that with the lume? 6:17
if you're using a uv light/black light what wave length is it? 365nm or higher
Thank you for this video. While not my favorite Rolex aesthetically, I didn't know anything about the functionality until now. I now appreciate the complication and the genius behind it. Thank you both. Keep up the quality work! #TheMoreYouKnow
New to the channel really like what I see so far! Glad to see someone review something other than a Oyster... Definitely an awesome watch, a little out of my range though lol... Stay safe
I bought mine 3 weeks ago from an AD so did not pay the secondary market premium. I LOVE IT! Black dial with jubilee bracelet. My wrist is 7.5” so it fits me well. Dressy, sporty, and beautiful.
I am emotionally attached to my stainless steel Sky-dweller. It’s even more beautiful in person. But it’s my first Rolex and therefore I can’t judge whether or not it is the best watch of that brand.
FYI, you can get the black and white SkyD within a couple of months as there is a pretty low demand for both of them, was offered both instead of the blue SS, which is the one I "ordered"
And, this is anecdotal from a conversation with an AD, they apparently share the inventory # with the gold variants, hence the rather unprecise delivery times by some ADs when you are being told the list "estimated" delivery/pick up time
Great video. I initially did not like the sky dweller. Something about that inner GMT subdial that threw me off. But I've grown to really love it. Shame it is so hard to get at retail
Love your videos, Jenni! Big fan of the travel cases too.
Amazing watch. Don't like it, but I certainly appreciate the complications and how they are adjusted through only crown & bezel.
Thanks for the video. I for one appreciate when a content creator picks the right background colors
Had no idea of the complication of this. Great watch and a ‘great watch’...thanks.
I agree with you Jenni that the SkyDweller is the best watch Rolex makes. I own one in steel and think the look and functionality are amazing. The larger size of the watch is appealing to me as well. Thanks for the great review!
Most complicated? Yes. Among the most expensive? Yes. The Best? I don’t know...it’s a subjective opinion that some may agree with and others disagree with.
Daytona probably has more prestige than this one
i think its one of their ugliest watches... never been a fan
It is Rolex's most complicated movement
I thought she was giving her subjective opinion rather than stating an absolute fact. Thanks for the clarity David
@Dave Smith I don't think the video puts Rolex at that level and a lot of Rolex owners are aware of that. Breguet is in a different league, and yet it is considered below Patek Philippe or AP.
Hi Jenni, thanks alot for the video. I got my Skydweller with black dial from the AD after 17 month waiting time. It‘s my first Rolex and I was very lucky to get one from the AD in Berlin. But in this 17 month I went to see the seller approximately 10 times to talk to them to make sure I‘m a watch enthusiast and not a freaky flipper. So the next orders are ongoing with a good chance of an allowcation in the near future.
Got hands on with the two tone version not long ago, whilst there’s no disputing the technical innovation here,this was too busy for me, prime example being the amount of text on the dial. Great video still
Hi Jenni. Just discovered your channel last week, and of course, I've watched all your videos. Looking forward to more! Could you do a video on the Omega Aqua Terras?
As we will only get one on the secondary market, at those prices I’d rather go for the Daytona.
Chris_Leslie225 Daytona is super boring.
Daytona is boring AF
I used to hate this watch before, but then it finally clicked with me and I love it. An annual calendar with a GMT can be very useful, and how they implemented it just amazes me. Too bad I can't afford it. Great video! Keep up the good work!
Ádám Zalabai . I felt the same way and this watch really grew on me the more I saw TH-cam reviews of it. I hope that you get one some day.
they didn't implement it moron. It was first created by Timex, the 12 hour/12 month thing is nothing new. rolex basically ripped it off timex
This wasn’t even on my radar but now I want it 😔
I recently got a SS Blue one. It is spectacular and I prefer it to any other Rolex model I own. Keep up the great reviews Jenni and stay well.
Just got my black dial sky-dweller from my AD. It is beautiful and wears smaller than I thought on my 7.5 inch wrist.
So you find it to be heavy and sometimes uncomfortable on the wrist?
I love this watch.... common lottery! Thanks for a great presentation. Just found your channel. Love your German accent. Reminds of my visit to Bremerhaven many years ago.
how does the crown feel when you set the date or the time?
A superb watch, love it 😍 imho the best in the rolex range. Easy to read, wear, adjust. Love that it looks like a Datejust from a distance and you only realise its complexity close up. Suggest the two tone for that extra bit of warmth.
Excelente canal con bellos y finos relojes!....felicidades!..😊👍🏼
I am so lucky my friendly AD got me one. Black face, which is my preference. It really is a beautiful watch. Best Rolex....tough call but certainly one of the best. Don’t let the size put you off! Thanks Jenni for the great review.
The Black is my favourite also
Totally loved it. It tend to be kind of a bulky model after all, but the annual calendar totally turn around the entire ecuation.
Great video and explanation! Keep the videos coming. Enjoy em 100% 👌🔥
Hi, I love your watch reviews! Very professional and enhanced. Can you do a review of Tudor 79360DK BLACK BAY CHRONO DARK
I bought mine 2 months ago with Blue face paid premium but dont care i love it the bezel in white gold just makes it so cool and the ring command iso innovative and easy Im sure a lot of time pieces will follow suit Love my Blue
does the no date change zone of 10pm to 3am still apply to SD?
Keep up with the amazing great content!!
Wow. I’ve never seen the all steel sky dweller! So beautiful!!!
I totally agree with you. This is an amazing watch, period. The problem is the steel versions are pretty much sold at after market dealers only. The SS blue dial is amazing and the premium is crazy. So the tow tone is actually a pretty good choice. Also the first generation precious metal with the roman dial and contrasting GMT wheel, they don't look that good. They finally got it right with the baton markers and GMT wheel with the dial color.
Paid $23500 for a 2022 Blue Jubilee dial I think overtime I won't get hurt too bad and in the meantime I'll get to enjoy it so for me it's fine if you can't get it at 15,000 in the store then really matter does it?
Picked one up at a discount at Heathrow airport in February. Awesome watch.
Been waiting for my blue dial Skydweller for a long time. I love it and think it’s a perfect companion for my Seadweller. My dream two watch collection. Guess I
Like big watches.
I just picked one up a white face from an AD. Didn't think I would get one in less than a year but got an email. Left work early to pick up. I love it. Blue is next on my wish list.
Which is the better investment this one or the datejust 41?
Thank you Jenni and I just purchased my first sky dweller and your video is informative.
Agreed the Sky dweller is the best watch Rolex makes. The annual calendar is simply genius. The use of the months around the edge of the hour markers allows a lot of information to be displayed without crowding the dial. The bezel system is the best way to manage all the features of the watch. It's one of those watches that when you see it you wonder why no one had thought of doing this before.
Jenni great review Im on the hunt for the blue face Thank You
I had no idea this existed and I'm blown away.
With the GMT complication and the ability to adjust the date in two directions, is it still "bad" to adjust the date between 21:00 and 03:00? I've read that doing so damages other watches. Is it still a risk with this one?
I have a Sky dweller white gold color ,and it's the best watch I've ever buy ,such classy 👌🏼
Well I learnt a lot there. Very clever. Personally I don’t like the milled edge, but I can appreciate the engineering . Great video by the way.
Always loved this watch and should the opportunity come my way, yes I would.
I had no idea about the month markers..... I've been looking at the stock photos and wondered what that little marker was. Now I know.. Still now my favourite Rolex though....
Servus Jenni.....This is the best ever review for this very interesting movement, specs and design.....I own OP....but seeing Dweller, I found it more interesting....are there any competitor can do it...in a bit smaller? Thanks.
I enjoyed your review and actually kind of liked the timepiece. However, I still generally go for a 36 mm stainless Datejust with white gold fluted bezel or a no date stainless sub. I also enjoy the comments. Be safe.
My Blue Sky is my favorite in my collection, Jenni thanks for another great video!
I just purchased one this week. Black dial with chrome / gold Jubilee bracelet. I’ll use it as my dress watch with my sea dweller being used as my daily driver. What a beautiful time piece !
I like it a lot except for the 42mm size, that kills it for me. I absolutely love the efficiency of the complication - conveying the maximum information in the most simple way possible. I wonder if the 42mm size was necessary to fit the movement? If it was only 4 extra gears then perhaps not. I'd buy a 40mm in a heartbeat, even at resale prices.
Hi Jenni .. Great video. I am big fan of Sky dweller. But confused between Skydweller and Datejust II. Can you please do a compare video so discussion on which is better between Blue and Black Dial.
First time rolex released skydweller in precious metal. I said to myself if they will make it in steel or TT I will get one for me. And I’m enjoying it now. 😎
This is a very interesting watch! Thanks for the video!
I have the all white gold model with the Roman numerals, and it's a heavy beast! It's also not very comfortable because the crown keeps banging into the back of my wrist. My ideal Sky Dweller would be rose gold on Oysterflex strap. I can't overstate how comfortable the Oysterflex strap is. I wish I could have been able to see into the future so I could have waited for that to be released.
will go for a full rose gold version yes
Love your humility....Keep it up
What a stunning piece and got the special movement rolex ever built,i were say sky dweller is the winner over the Daytona,definitely get one soon👍
Cool piece. Never knew about all these complications. Size is still a bit too large however.
In the intro video, how did you manage to turn the lume on like that, that's such a beautiful effect!
One thing I like about this watch over others in their line up is the innovation. I think it’s a bold release by Rolex and it’s still as charming to the eye as any other a Rolex. When you factor in the price of the datejust 41 this is a comparative bargain given the innovation and complication
Exactly my thoughts which is why I purchased one last December. I love the watch and I've owned a 40mm GMT Pepsi since 1983. It's perfect on my 7-5/5"/19.3cm wrist.
I like it very much but I think it should be no more then 40mm. Thanks Jenni for your very accurate review!
Not a fan of the watch but always a pleasure listening to Jenni, sweet and good arguments in all reviews. Also, great camera work. Would be great to see these on the channel:
1) Rolex Explorer 1
2) omega aqua terra
Very original
ewt415 thank you
Hi Jennie,
Love your videos and this one so much because i just finally got my SD today. It is like a dream come true. However, i found an issue but I don’t know it is my opinion only. Upon closer inspection after i get my SD i see the crown on the SD is not very flush with the case, where i see the gap between the Crown and Case after finger tightened is slightly bigger than other Rolex models. I am pretty sure the gap is slight bigger than my OP41 or DJ41.
Please share your thoughts. Do you think it is normal that SD models have slightly bigger gap? Or mine is not normal and should be send back to AD for checking? It would be great if you could do a small video on this issue because I’m so freak out.
Thank you for checking out my comment. Have a good day
Love the video. Love the watch, and love your accent!
What are those stains on the bezel? Is this caused by the material or is it just not properly cleaned?
I have bought it in yelow gold with the oyster flex and black dial
Great content, was lucky to get a white dial Jubilee band one Friday. Was a surprise. New sub keep it up!
Absolutely gorgeous piece! 😍
Love this watch. My favorite watch.
Awesome review of functions. A true service to the viewer. Thanks, Jenni.
Have an early IWC eternal calendar (first ceramic watch ever) and would still pick up a skydweller in steel if given the opportunity to buy at RP. And I don't sell watches for profit (yet). So, yeah, most important Rolex since the Padellone.
Great watch. It would be my choice for a Rolex dress watch, certainly over a two tone DJ or even a Gold DD, just because of the complication. That blue dial is excellent!.
