I found the BB to be superior in all regards, then the omegas (SMP line) then the Pelagos.

Spot on! Agree on all counts, and love my BB.

Without trying I already found pelagos for 48% off....

Short answers THEY DO NOT hold value like Rolex

48% off? Less than cost? What kind of source?

He must be comparing ETA to in house prices. Not suprised.

It's an awesome watch. Very comfortable and It's just the right weight, actually I'm glad they didn't make it in ss.
I don' t know how well they hold their value and it's not much of a concern to me as I buy to wear and seldom sell anything.

Blue is pretty strong.

The ETA in a Pelagos can be regulated to perform as accurately as any in house Rolex or Tudor movt.

GB-man · 3 August 2017, 12:23 PM

I love it. Selling it was a huge mistake.

I tend to buy and sell a ton and then Go back and cherry pick my favorites.

I'll rebuy the pelagos it's near perfect.

I've had my SubC for a couple years now, and never really looked into the blue Pelagos until this summer, looking for a do all beach, outdoors type and I'm really warming up to it, gonna try it on soon and I will decide, I've been using a Pam to fill this spot but want something diff and on a bracelet.

Thanks. I was asking cuz I'm thinking of getting one

Sublovin · 3 August 2017, 01:00 PM

Big fan of the blue dial.

subtona · 3 August 2017, 01:00 PM

a lot of watch for the $$$

prefer the blue

though i have no issue with the ETA versions, i very much appreciate the extended PR in the inhouse movement.

You're a double owner

Any chance you would bring it back or is the thickness enough to enjoy from the sidelines?

Hope your summer is going well my friend

PS: I only ask because I've started to retrace my steps lately

I really enjoy my Pelagos. It flies under the radar, timekeeping is spot on. Shows very few scratches. The clasp is wonderful. Just a great all around watch. I walked away at least 3 times because the lack of weight was a big issue to me. But then I got over it.

Thought I was going to have to have the blue when it came out as my grail is a Smurf but the blue just didn't sing to me in person. Still doesn't.
Pick up a preowned ETA 2 line of you are not sure. Cheap and if you change your mind you won't get hurt if you buy right.

The Pelagos is an amazing watch. It's very impressive the number of quality characteristics it has: the clasp, jump date, best lume ever, bezel, h-valve, in house mov, 70 hrs power reserve, etc.

Really a fantastic watch.

All the specs are there. I don't really see a flaw in the watch. The toughest part is deciding on the color. I thought I liked the Blue but reading the members' comments have had me thinking otherwise.

I'm usually a black watch guy but the blue imo looks better due to the matte finish.

Xa2b4 · 5 August 2017, 12:14 PM

It's a little thick for my taste. I really wanted to like it but in the end I couldn't get over the fact that it looked like a brick on my wrist. Then again I have a really small wrist...

Alex_TA · 5 August 2017, 05:18 PM

Great nightstand watch but very dull in the daylight.
