Pelagos is... awesome

Just tried on the pelagos at an AD. So much watch for the price. Awesome piece. Encourage you to try it to get a great watch. I like the omega seamaster 300m diver also. Both are just fantastic.

Blue Pelagos (on the rubber strap) is my default beach vacation watch - and agree, ton of bang-for-buck with this model

It’s a lovely watch - especially in the blue. I must admit though, I didn’t love the bracelet. The clasp in particular. I haven’t tried it on with a rubber strap yes so that might be a different story

I love my Pelagos. Value for the $ is hard to beat.

It's a great watch. Tudor's best watch, in my opinion.

Truly one of my favorite watches and probably the best dive watch on the market. My LHD isn’t going anywhere.

A very tooly watch and I have turned into a fan. I wish it used grade 5 titanium and was slightly smaller. A big problem I have with Tudor is that it is hampered by Rolex (to a certain degree, obviously there are huge benefits to the Rolex association as well). They can't one up the big brother with high quality material and they are always capped and how good they can actually make a watch.

Both are very good watches. No lack of quality, utility and wrist presence.

Great watch that is overshadowed by the BlackBay because it’s not the cash cow. Wish Tudor would spread their attention to their other model lines.

I think it is one of the best tool watches on the market. I have owned the Black and Blue, but find myself partial to the Black.

I like it, but is there any need for the novella in the bottom half of the dial?

100% may be the best buy out there if a watch one likes. I think the matte black is beautiful and something a little different than any of the Rolex black divers

I agree. I had a Rolex and an LHD. I sold the Rolex because it received no wrist time.

It has been VERY difficult for me to pry the Pelagos LHD from my arm to rotate in the other watches.

What happened in the long run is that I created a chart to rotate my watches from one to three months of wearing, and factually, even THAT has been difficult to stick to.

Yeh. That's what the Pelagos does to you.

Looks bigger than a DeepSea in that pic!

I found it too thick for my preference.

I have one of the first in NAR since the release (drove to ����, since they were not sold in the US at the time) and still love it. I really like the Ti lightness).

For me it’s the black on a NATO. Agree that this watch is the dollar for dollar champion.

Please post a photo of it on a nato! I don’t think I’ve see it like that before.

5 lines of text at the bottom kills it. Wish it was two lines max!

They are both great watches and at home in any collection, no post is quite the same without photos, so here is some.

The 5 lines of text are not that noticeable in person, as the dial just pops and I find my self not noticing the text.
