Yearning for one watch/brand but buying less expensive, similar watches/homages/copies is generally the road to ruin because you will never be happy with what you have. A better approach is to save the money you would have spent on the 'other' brand until the time you can afford the watch you really want and like. Buying second hand obviously helps the cause too.

Now I read this!!! FFS 😲 ::facepalm1::

Starting to think this level of colour matching should be mandatory..

Rolex Sky-Dweller in Steel

The Sky-Dweller in stainless steel was introduced in 2017 and it left quite an impression on me, I even wrote it in my article on the Sky-Dweller last year. An annual calendar complication is useful and in all-stainless, this watch is still a bit “stealth” compared to the previous gold and bi-colour variations. The downside of this watch is the relatively large case of 42mm and the availability. At the time of introduction, this watch had a retail price of €13050 and I don’t believe there was another increase since. That’s a fair price for an annual calendar watch from Rolex. Moe made a remark about the size of this Sky-Dweller and the aforementioned Royal Oak though, and if that’s something to comment about already in an early stage, it will stick on you. In the end, it might become something that will annoy you so much, you will find yourself ending up selling the watch.

If you like this style though, Rolex has some other watches to choose from. Give the fact that Moe already has a GMT-Master, I will leave out the new Rolex GMT-Master II Pepsi, although, with a Jubilee bracelet, it is looking a bit more classic than the other models with Oyster bracelet. The annual calendar complication is definitely a nice feature, but my guess is that Moe is not specifically after a complication, but he seems to be looking for a certain style.

Nice write-up; yes it is the WG/Steel Rolesor version. The Pepsis are really selling at exorbitant prices. I mean $20K+ or almost triple their MSRP on the secondary markets. I was lucky enough to order mine when it first came out and no one was talking about them yet. Unfortunately they've really struck a nerve and are extremely popular and hard to get. Sometimes I toy with letting mine go and getting a PM model like a modern Day Date even in WG or Pt.

That is a good question as one could get any dial on the PM models. However they've stopped carrying anything but the stick dials now on the PM models. They've also stopped selling the WG model (I guess due to the confusion factor).
