Hello All
Is it possible to put a date magnifier on the new Pelagos?
Thanks
Thom

You can put one on any sapphire crystal that isn't domed. The only drawback is that Tudor won't take it for servicing or warranty work of any kind without replacing the crystal, at your expense.

I put one one a THC, which actually balances out the dial better. This is quite a popular modification. www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=375949

I'm not sure how it would look on the Pelagos.

I was thinking the same thing

To each their own, but not sure that would look right on the Pelagos. It is such a crisp tool watch. That would confuse the design motif of the watch, IMHO.

But you could. Just don't.

I agree.. if you want a date magnifier get a sub date

It is possible, and aesthetically-wise, it would look as good or as bad as any externally-mounted adhesive-secured magnifying lens on a flat watch crystal.

Only the Pelagos will do, if the OP wants a 500m depth rating and a 70 hour power reserve.

Thank you all for your replies. I appreciate it. I don't know that I would do it, just looking at options.

If I had a Pelagos I would definitely put a magnifier, no question.

A friend of mine put a magnifier on his non-ceramic Sea Dweller and it was perfect.

Plus a gorgeous matte blue dial and bezel... Chamfered lugs and luminescent bezel
