Diamond Set Rolex Sky-Dweller: Dial and Clasp Details

This Rolex Sky-Dweller has a heavily gem set dial, bezel and case. Its pale reference time disc stands out against the surrounding stones, while Roman numerals mark the hours. The black strap gives the decorated case a strong border on the wrist.

Keep the displays readable

Rolex’s Sky-Dweller overview explains that the central hands show local time and the offset 24 hour disc shows reference time. Its annual calendar handles 30 and 31 day months, with a correction needed after February. Use instructions for the exact reference when setting it.

Confirm where the stone setting came from

Ask whether the dial, bezel, case decoration and clasp are factory components or later additions. Request the reference and a written account of any customization. The visual extent of the setting does not establish diamond grades, metal fineness or original factory configuration.

Inspect the strap, clasp and settings

The final photograph shows that the decoration continues onto the folding clasp. Have the small settings and clasp mechanism checked, and confirm the strap’s material, condition and fit. Ask how customization affects servicing of this particular watch.
