I rarely say this about a watch - even Invicta, but that is butt ugly to me.

But then again, what the hello I know? :fro:

Very few Rolexes I like. This is not one of them.

IMHO, It does nothing for me.. and 50K :shock: May look better to my eyes when I turn 50 ..but we are 2 decades off for now. And well, the only RoleX I could want for my money is right here ...

I kinda like that cream dial (grown a lot on me since it was announced), and the display is pretty cool/unique.

The price is WTF crazy though. :naughty:

It would look so much better without the cyclops, but I imagine the type of customer that buys this watch really needs it.

i like the white dial but what are they thinking with the price? 50k? come on now... i guess they should limit their production with that price.
from the sound of "sky dweller" you would think it would be a series comparible with "sea dweller" in price.
Ill take a GMTII or Deep Sea anyday over that.

As a Rolex fan, I don't hate it, but there are so many other watches I'd rather have (both Rolex and others) at a much lower price.

I, for one, like the layout and the creme dial but Rolex really needs to produce a non-precious metal version.

I will be a dissenting opinion. Having held one in real life (Seattle Ben Bridge) I beileve that this watch would give mahatma gandhi a chubby. It's much cooler in person.

The name, along with the retail sticker, is probably meant to appeal to those that own their own jets.

Not for me - even if I could afford it. Just wrong in so many ways.

Every brand makes shit watches, AP mostly doesn't.

The Sky Dweller does kind of look like crap.
