Ok as the title states Im thinking of flipping my Tudor Pelagos Blue for the Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Titanium.
Dont see the need to have 2 "diving style" watches both in blue, even though Pelagos blue is brighter in color but matte finish while the PO is navy with a shiny finish.
Who thinks this is a good idea?

wood600rr · 31 October 2018, 11:36 PM

I like both but if the deal makes sense to you go for it!

watchwatcher · 31 October 2018, 11:39 PM

I don't know much about the Omega. But unless it fit and felt as good as the Pelagos on the wrist, I would not.

liboozers · 31 October 2018, 11:48 PM

Yes that is true about the fit. I have tried it on and I think it felt the same. It looks taller then the Pelagos but it wasnt. Also Im looking at the 42mm

Mystro · 1 November 2018, 12:57 AM

Do it. Omega is a step up from Tudor IMO. The Omega PO is a great diver. I also like it’s movemnt better.

yannis · 1 November 2018, 01:57 AM

Omega looks sharper and i think it is overall a better watch.

R!$ · 1 November 2018, 02:21 AM

I prefer Tudor over Omega personally

Wizzle47 · 1 November 2018, 02:21 AM

Which model PO is it? I owned the 8500 PO which I think was the second generation. The thickness is something to be mindful of. The display back on certain models make it a very thick watch. Chrono version gets even thicker.

Stunning watch but I eventually sold because I was never 100% happy with the thickness.

ag986 · 1 November 2018, 02:39 AM

I have the nominal 40mm (39.5mm) model and it's the most accurate watch that I own...even a touch more so than my 4130 Daytona.

In the end, you're buying the way it looks on your wrist. So, be sure to try it on before you take the plunge.

I personally like the Omega more than the Tudor.

Rocket launcher · 1 November 2018, 03:03 AM

I love rolex own 1 and can't afford another yet..like Tudor very much and have 2 ..
I can tolerate Omega ....But would never own one

So I would go Tudor

Strummer25 · 1 November 2018, 03:06 AM

+1 for Omega

oldman2005 · 1 November 2018, 03:07 AM

I'd go for the Omega.

skyblue12 · 1 November 2018, 03:11 AM

Omega for for me. Nice diver.

I have a Seamaster. Not my favorite watch but I swear it’s bulletproof.

JoeyT · 1 November 2018, 03:36 AM

I would go for that deal. The coaxial movement in the Omega is top knotch

Wcdhtwn · 1 November 2018, 03:46 AM

I'd go with the Omega. The Co-Axial is a terrific movement, superior IMO to the Tudor. I also think the fit and finish of the Omega makes it more versatile. Pelagos is a very casual watch and I'd think hard to pull off in anything more dressy than business casual.

ashbaug2 · 1 November 2018, 03:50 AM

I'd do it. That blue PO is a beautiful watch. I wouldn't necessarily classify it as a "tool diver" like the Pelagos, at least not in looks. I've heard they can definitely withstand some daily wear "abuse" and hold up well. A Planet Ocean is on my short list of future purchases; I can't say that about the Pelagos...

In what way apart from potential historical brand prestige? Genuine question - I don’t see it from a quality perspective.

Really? What discernible differences in quality do you see between the two brands? Sure, there are some PM Rolexes that don’t compete with Omega. But I would say the new Seamaster is every bit as quality as the current Submariner.

You’re paying a 70% markup for the Rolex brand and monster marketing budget that Omega does not have. You are NOT paying for a quality difference.

Source: I own both.

Owned many of both and currently own the new Seamaster. Couldn’t have said it better, there is some bias here as it is the Rolex forum, but I can appreciate both.

I didn't mention Rolex, but in my experience Omega is not a quantifiable step up from Tudor on the whole.

liboozers · 1 November 2018, 03:59 AM

Non chrono 8500 I'm looking at

T3F · 1 November 2018, 04:03 AM

Would absolutely do that. I have the PO titanium and looked at the Pelagos and they aren't in the same league, in my opinion.

mistercoach32 · 1 November 2018, 05:17 AM

I had a 42mm PO in titanium and I absolutely loved it. It’s incredibly light for its size and it’s just a kick ass watch. It wore a little tall for me, but that was my only knock. Great watch.

Chadridv · 1 November 2018, 06:01 AM

I'd prefer the omega.

jenson · 2 November 2018, 07:47 AM

Yes i would make that trade but it has to what you really want, so if it makes sense to you then you are on the right track.
