Trade Pelagos for 114060?

[Laszlo]

In a New York second.

[ragingcao]

Without a shadow of a doubt.

I prefer the Pelagos to the Sub in all regards, but at the end of the day, if you don't like it, what's the point in having it ? Trade it....

Yes, right away the 114060 is a classic.

Truth!

I recall someone did a experimental here a few months back, asking whether people here would pick the Pelagos or Sub for saturation diving. Guess what, the majority of people picked the Sub. Though I would concede it's unlikely most people on here are saturation divers, or are diving to depths more than the Sub can handle.

Based on the other watches that you own, I would not. For me the Pelagos is a great watch and in a lot of aspects I find it better than the Submariner. I like the titanium, lume, bracelet, clasp and the all too cool appearance. I have done a couple of trades in the past with my Pelagos watches and they have always found their way back into my collection. I am waiting on a LHD from my AD right now and I have the Blue dial.

You've obviously fallen out of love with the Pelagos. File for a divorce citing irreconcilable differences....

Guys, don't waste your time trying to change the OP's mind.This case is done and dusted.....

[Mick8moses]

Is go a different direction since you already have a 14060m.

Do it

I wouldn’t cos 114060 is too similar to the rest of the collection. Sell it if you don’t feel like wearing the Pelagos again.

I have a 116600, 16600, 14060M for my other divers. I will be adding a 16610LV soon, I think I have one picked out.

If you don't wear it, then yes.

I don't think I'll ever sell my Pelagos, fantastic watch in every respect. If it only said "Rolex" on the face it would be a lot more popular! (But I understand some don't care for the Titanium - I wouldn't mind having it in SS myself)

Sorry,but nobody nowadays would do a saturation dive with a mechanical watch... we all use computers. One main, one back-up. I do know some guys wearing mechanical watches, but they don’t use them in D.S dive, and I think I am the only guy with a Rolex, most are Seiko and such....

Quite true. The most water these watches will see is an accidental splash when washing the hands!

[oldman2005]

Yes from Tudor to Rolex

[Gerry62]

Do it

I would diversify out of divers, if not out of Rolex

Or the 18ct white-gold, finer-formed hands (for corrosion resistance); better than COSC +/- 2secs rate guarantee; bomb-proof 313X movement family; trip-lock crown; more comfortable clasp; more versatile looks; peerless history etc.

However, I'm only playing devils advocate.

Given your existing diver collection, not least an 14060M, it's a no-brainer to keep the Pelagos - Tudor made an incredible, capable, distinctive watch and the huge price saving could be put toward something equally different again.

[DonBateman]

why not own another sub.

me too

[rushca01]

Thanks for the replies. Yes, they all look the same black dial sub/sea dweller but I also own a 16710 and 116520. I like both the 5 digit and 6 digit references, would like to own one of the 5 digit and 6 digit. Does that make my collection redundant, yes. But it lets me own the classic cases without getting into older and more rare models and modern references.

With a coast like Colorado has, you'd know!!!
