Pelagos LHD

[sambb]

Do you like the pelagos lhd? Any thoughts? or is it gimmicky? I like it ,even though im right handed

[kittansett]

Once discontinued, it might become a talked about watch by collectors.. alternating red and black date, left handed, numbered, reissued from the French Navy history.

I tried it this weekend along the regular black and a blue version with a local "custom" dial my local AD ordered for a local fishing tournament:














It is a cool watch but pretty thick! If buy one would probably be the regular right handed version on the first gen (ETA) as it is a bit less thick

Visually, it's my favorite Pelagos model. I really like the faux-patina and alternating red date -- gives the watch some warmth and personality. If I were left-handed and wanted a Pelagos, it would be a no-brainer. Since I'm a righty, though, it feels less inviting (although I suppose I could just wear it "properly" on my right hand regardless).

Love my LHD , you can’t go wrong with any reference they are all nice in their own way . I wouldn’t mind owning all four references.

It took me a while to figure out why I couldn’t connect with it, and finally realized it was the cream color. I preferred the bright white. Besides that, I loved everything else about my old LHD.

The Tudor Pelagos LHD is my second favorite watch.
The Rolex 326933 is first.

I really like the Tudor Pelagos LHD. I suspect that it will be a Tudor collectible one day due to its unique features.

The best Pelagos, IMO! Plus... you have no idea how comfortable it is to wear on your left hand... this way the crown does not push against your hand. You’d be surprised!

The Pelagos line is incredible, super comfortable, durable, accurate, capable. In fact, as a diver goes it’s considerably more legible at depth than many other brands including the Sea-Dweller line (which I love). I find the LHD particularly appealing and highly functional, I’m right handed, and alternate it on the left or right wrist, doesn’t really matter to me where it “should” go. Good luck.

I really like it. If I was going to get a Pelagos, this would be the one.

The first Tudor I would buy would be this one...

[Psmith]

I like it a lot, although prefer the contrast of the regular back dial and white hands/markers.

It's a pulchritudinous watch on another level. I can't think of any other rugged luxury titanium divers watches around its price. The design elements and materials are perfectly harmonised with playful quirkiness. It's a bold yet discreet watch at the same time. Legibility is awesome in the dark.

Like? No. Love? Yes. Excellent tool watch.

I've seriously considered it, but I keep thinking the crown on the left would bother me.

I concur fully with the above statement

[watchwatcher]

I love mine. Not crazy about the crown on the left side, though.

[Sleepy996]

I regret ever selling mine.

I have posted this before and here it comes again:

Tudor Pelagos Engineering Notes

Tudor looked at the Rolex Submariner and said "How can we update this thing and make a bunch-o-money?"

And they did . . . by creating the Pelagos:

Fully lumed ceramic bezel insert (Rolex is getting behind the times here, with a few other manufacturers already having implemented lumed bezels!)
Larger/wider indices and hands = easier to read
The lume is GREAT! (Read that one more time)
Helium gas escape valve – great if someone ties your feet to bricks and tosses you overboard (say what ???)
Keeps time (MT5612 in-house movement) as good as any of my Rolex. My Pelagos = minus 0.2 sec/day. That is about minus 6.2 sec/month or minus 1 minute 14 seconds per year!
Movement, head and bracelet are certainly as durable and well-made as a Rolex
70 hour power reserve (Rolex is slowly catching up here with newer production)
Deeper dive capability = 1640 feet versus 1000 feet for a Submariner (not that we'd ever be diving that deep, unless we were retrieving “Bricks-on-Feet Guy”)
Dial overall slightly larger (1/8” = 3.2mm) than a Sub, so that is nice too
42mm size – but the lugs are shaped/sized such that it can nicely fit small flattish arm bones such as 6.5” to 6.75”
Titanium – sans the crystal and a few parts of the bracelet
My Pelagos LHD is also not getting as much abrasion wear as the SS Rolex, and I do not baby my watches at all
LHD version (only) has slightly "aged" ivory lume, a very nice, subtle aspect
The engineering of the auto-adjustable bracelet is VERY well done and user-friendly
Comes with extra dive straps, color-dependent on watch dial color, blue or black
No distracting/annoying(?) Cyclops date magnifier
No Antireflective coating to get badly worn as is typical with AR crystals
Roulette date wheel - even days are in red, odd in black (LHD model only)
No shiny polished case and bezel to act as a "shiny fishing lure for sharks." LOL
The Pelagos is exactly one-half the cost of a Submariner for this vastly improved but otherwise “similar” dive watch item

The Pelagos has SOoo surpassed the Rolex Submariner in every way imaginable

Pelagos is pronounced as: pell-uh-goes (Yeh; I was calling it pell-AHG-ose)
NOTE: Pelagos is Greek for “sea”

Service interval should be ~10 years as is modern Rolex, but not being there yet I have no idea of cost. Not on my worry list

In my opinion the Tudor Pelagos is as well-made, durable and accurate as any Rolex

The Pelagos is my second favorite watch – having been recently displaced from number one by the Rolex 326933 White Sky-Dweller.

I could go on, but by now you understand my enthusiasm for the Tudor Pelagos

[Lamontsanders]

I love my LHD. It's comfortable, it's light (for what it is) and it's incredibly legible. I absolutely recommend the watch. Hard to beat it at that price.

[tmilnthorp]

Love mine! My only nitpick: I really need a half-link.

[sambb]

tough choice

+1

it's working for me without a half-link, but I could optimize the fit further with one and know this is something others have asked for, I'd welcome a half link as well
