Have you tried on the Pelagos? I recently went to Europe and was on a mission to get one. When I tried it on, I instantly decided against it. I was worried about the titanium look, but all the pictures I have seen made it look nicer than most titanium watches I've tried on. But when I actually put it on, it only took me about 3 seconds to decide that the Pelagos was not for me.

Sub! I recently was in Zurich and was on a mission to check out the new Tudors, especially the Pelagos. I tried it on and instantly knew it wasn't the watch for me. If it were stainless, I probably would have bought it on the spot. But the titanium is just not a nice look in my opinion.

The Pelagos. We need to come up with a nickname for it.

The Sub Slayer

That's not gonna make me very popular round here.

Oh yes, folks don't like it when you suggest there might be something better than a Sub C

How about the Torpedo, as it's capable of sinking a Sub?

The Pelagos is technically superior to the SubC. "Better" is a problematic word as it's relative to each person's definition of what constitutes better. The Pelagos is duller finish, more purposeful, more legible, goes deeper, brighter... a superior dive watch. So yes, in my book it's "better".

The price difference seems not to matter much. Both are great watches that will last several lifetimes. I really wonder whether, at the end of the day, it just boils down to the five magic letters on the dial...

Well I think that has to do the replacement cost for each bezel. The inset in the Pelagos cost $90.00 to replace when the bezel for the Sub C is close to $1,000. A pretty major difference, so I can understand the lamenting and opinion that the Pelagos remains as the better tool watch.
