UK Tudor newb
Good afternoon all,

I have been a long time peeping-tom, however after getting my first Tudor Pelogos I am now hooked as it hasn't left my wrist since I bought it just before Christmas leave.

I have an eclectic taste in watches mostly, like things that are different and not everyone has.

When I retire from the army in a few years I will be buying my first Rolex, so we shall see how the journey goes .


Al.

Welcome aboard and Congratulations on your Pelagos! Definitely an all around great piece. Did you get the black or blue?

I purchased a couple Tudors and then a Rolex (all still in my collection) only to succumb to the Tudor North Flag. It's definitely gets the most wrist time.

I got the black, we (work) got them made by Tudor, it took a year but so glad we picked the Pelogos, we were also looking at a Breitling and the GMT but in hand this watch is hard to beat.

I'm looking at buying my first Rolex in the next few years, hopefully a GMT but I want to try one on first as I think it would a be too small for me. Loving the North flag though.... Good taste

I tried to post a few but I needed a few more posts before I could put any on. I've gone full on nerd, bought a black light torch and been practising taking some shots with my mirrorless... Stand by 🥸
