Is this just a new addition or is 42mm Pelagos now being discontinued ? They still have both versions on their website…

Would this bracelet fit on a BB58?

Home Run
It works for those who love 5-digit subs - like the 14060M - but in a modern iteration that is unique from the heritage/vintage looks of the BB58. This one is a modern aesthetic that still has classic DNA. |

Very nice
The 39mm size is a sweet spot, getting the thickness in line makes this a real contender for top diver offering across brands.

Stopped by the boutique. They didn’t have an exhibition model yet and told me to try back again on Friday. They had no details beforehand and found out about the release the time time as us online.

How does titanium wear compared to SS? Do you really feel the weight difference? How does the case/bracelet hold up to scratching?

Nice, but will wait for the GMT in a few years hopefully.

It's hard for me to resist a black dial with red text. I think it's very pleasing, visually. I'd love to see one in blue, and it's too bad it doesn't have a date.

Now make one in navy blue and it'll fly off the shelf!

It's very obvious that Tudor is listening!
Thickness @ 11.8mm, this is a homerun for the company. |

dial is more legible than comparable larger Rolex due to a modern take on hand proportions. my bb58 feels similar size wise to my 14060.

What's really interesting is the SD43Ti. I personally think that might be a mistake - but maybe Rolex will find a way to make Ti look & feel like SS. Grand Seiko certainly looks rather shiny. |

Like, but don't love compared to my Pelagos. I think it might be the dial that I just don't jive with.
Solid release, though. Especially the clasp. |

I’m ready for the blue version! Surely that’ll come within the next year.

Titanium has a different patina / light reflection and I find that the scratches are not nearly as noticeable as on a shiny polished steel surfaced. Just my opinion based on owning titanium watches. |

Itīs sure to sell like hot cakes, but I donīt want to get too excited about it because I wonīt be able to get one anyway until the hype dies down, and I would not pay over MSRP for it. I for one donīt understand those bemoaning the lack of a date window...thatīs precisely what makes the dial so good, imo!

There is a definitely difference between the two. The grade 2 watch was easy to scratch and could ding easily. It was also quite dull and grey looking. The Grand Seiko grade alloy didn't scratch as much, and had a polished finish like steel. I recall reading on the Seiko website that their titanium alloy was harder than stainless steel by 4x and also harder than grade 2 (they didn't say by how much). I would like to think Tudor is using a higher grade than 2 for their titanium on this watch as it's a higher end watch. |
