Disregarding ....all of that.... the Pelagos like all Tudors is a fantastic line on it's own and needs no attachment to Rolex at all.
42mm is the technical deep diver, punches well above it's price class into the Rolex lineup if one does not need a watch to say "ROLEX" on it to be happy
39mm is a seriously great alternative to a Submariner no date
FXDs are unique throwbacks to the heritage of the Marine National Tudor submariners of the 60s and 70s. I wear my standard 42mm on an MN strap most of the time so the black FXD really appeals to me.

So true, wearing my Blue one right now. Love the watch, love my Rolex too, but the Pelagos Blue is a great watch.
