Never really considered the Black Bay before which is why I went for a Pelagos but I am really liking the Black Bay Bronze or for me the "Doc Savage"

I don't have the biggest wrist and it's 43mm will probably be a little on the large side. I have an Explorer II 216570 at 42mm but given the extra depth the in house movement gave the Pelagos the Bronze Bay may look a bit bulky.
Opinions?

"Doc Savage"

no, no, no, no --- please no...

but Pelagos has a depth rating of 500... Black Bay only 200... so maybe it can retain the height?

You're right about their depth rating but I have had both old and currently a new Pelagos and the in house movement has made a noticeable difference to the height of the caseback

we need some "rear end" shots! :)

The updated BB's are too big (and potentially too thick) for me. Not referencing the new 36mm BB's with that comment.

Waiting for Pelagos Bronze and a can of Brasso

something about the BB design that doesn't match up well with the bronze for me.

Etschell · 17 March 2016, 01:49 AM

Would go great with vintage brass diving equipment

VaRobot - "no knife posts" -- see the rules.

"Doc Savage?" I don't know what that's referring to, but this bronze watch is known as the "UPS."
