Unexpected incoming

Well, here I was walking by a Tudor shop in Melbourne and noticed a Pelagos in the window...before I knew it I was in the shop, the thing was on my wrist and credit card was being swiped. I couldn’t be happier and I’m now a Tudor fan, very impressed with the quality, feel and wrist presence.
Can’t wait to also add the GMT to the collection.
This watch collecting is a very expensive hobby, but I love it.

If I didn't already have my SD43 I would have picked one of those up. Love that watch and the lume on the bezel is awesome!

Thanks for the nice words everyone...I couldn’t be happier with my impromptu purchase. I was waiting for a flight to the US when I first posted and have just arrived in LAX. I’ll be wearing this with pride around Las Vegas for the next week at the Microsoft Inspire 2018 conference. If anyone else is there and they see a Pelagos there’s a good chance it’ll be me so say hello.
Cheers, Peter
