@@cwillis So very hard. I actually purchased multiple ceramic Daytonas. This one makes the white Daytona look easy! My dealer called me as soon as they got it but it took them almost a year to get it.
Great vid, you really explained it well! I’m hoping the Skydweller will be my next Rolex, such a cool watch, especially the SS and white gold / blue dial. Thanks for sharing, much appreciated.
Dual time zone or GMT watches do not truly track any two time zones. They are designed to track GMT and a second time that is a whole hour offset from GMT. Of course, you can set any reference time instead of GMT, and most people set it so that when they're home, both the GMT hand and the conventional center hands show home time because this allows you to set the local time using the crown position that controls the 12-hour hand. But that hand jumps only in whole hour increments, so you can only track time zones that differ from the reference time in whole hours. If you travel to a time zone that's not a whole hour increment from reference time, then you should set the conventional center hands not to local time, but to the nearest time zone that is a whole hour increment from reference time. In this case you have to remember that you're not reading local time from the conventional center hands, but a nearby time zone and you have to add or subtract the partial hour difference yourself. A possible solution to this would be for GMT watches with a rotating 24 hour bezel to let you set the bezel however you like, that way you could set true local time on the conventional center hands and adjust the bezel to exact reference time. For some reason, most GMT watches only allow you to set the bezel in whole hour increments too. -shrug-
How to set if the reference time to 8:30am and local time to 10:00am? As I did not see the option to move the minute hand while setting the local time. Please advise. Thanks!
Unless you have an AD you have spent big with, you will need to get it on the gray market. expect to pay 19 new and 18-18250 preowned. These are reserved for VIPs at all ADs, a candy piece like the daytona. I got mine from my AD that I have a great relationship with.
No problem. It's an unfortunate situation, but if you buy gray and keep the watch in good shape you'll be fine on resale taking a minimum hit. They trade fast.
I have a Sky-Dweller and the bezel is never locked. But if the crown is tightened down, nothing happens to the watch movement when you turn the bezel, in particular, in the forth position to the left, the second hand will still move (unlike when the crown is released, the second hand here would stop.)
Your level is okay, but I have 5 pieces now and each piece makes you crazy over the second piece, but the price of the piece is 3500 dollars. I think this comment is a little complicated
This is the most clear explanation on RUclips 😅 👍🏽 I have this same model, I was concerned that my first bezel position was malfunctioning. Thank you
That’s about the most straight forward explanation I’ve seen. The jeweler where I bought my Date Just was struggling with it.
Datejust?
Thanks for the demo. The movement on this watch and the way it was conceived is just mesmerizing.
Awesome video man! Love the skydweller
Thanks. Quickly becoming my favorite piece in my collection.
My AD offered me this watch last summer. I love it! Great job keeping it straightforward and simple.
damachine3 thats awesome! So hard to come by.

Thanks for a quick and simple demonstration.
hi , great vid but I had to ask that what should we do if there is a time difference of 30 minutes in the time zones

Great tutorial! Thank you 🙏
What happened to setting the month on the hour markers?
I’ve got a great Superclone available the same as that one.
Is it water resistant??
Great straight forward video thx
My favorite Rolex

cwillis I was hoping for a different answer. Thank you.

the watch is a beauty - that thumb is the beast
Sho'Nuff I think his nail is growing back
What is the red dot on the outside of the indices for?
it indicates the month. i.e. red dot is on the 4th slot, its april
The month
Is the bezel locked until the crown is released or should it be moving when in lock/closed position?
should be locked, if i remember correctly. dont have a skyd on hand right now.
cwillis thanks

Great movement, great ingenuity but one fucking ugly watch.
