Re: New Tudor Release 39mm Pelagos
I’ve been looking again at the text. My initial thought was that it was too much for the smaller dial. My next thought was that if I was going to buy one (and I would if I could ), I’d want all the beef of the original on my smaller watch! I’d rather have the text taking up space than a date window

I've not looked at it in detail, but then it's not really my cup of tea.
I'll move on.

Wow, love this. I won’t be swapping from my BB58, however if I was in the market for an alternative diving watch then this would tick a lot of boxes.

Re: New Tudor Release 39mm Pelagos
I like this a lot.
Do I like it £2750 more than a white dialled, 38mm trident 300? Not sure about that!

Re: New Tudor Release 39mm Pelagos
It’s a no for me - the Pro 300 is a much better option.
Never liked the snowflakes - kills the dial.

Re: New Tudor Release 39mm Pelagos
I hear you completely. I'd take the 40mm though. Shame the orange tropic doesn't fit the two bigger size watches.

Re: New Tudor Release 39mm Pelagos
I really like it but currently have the Seiko SPB213 and as Stef said, not sure I like it £2800 more (as I’d likely get about £700 by selling this Seiko).
Also not sure whether to wait for a better adjustment on the bb58 clasp that surely can’t be far away.

Re: New Tudor Release 39mm Pelagos
Looks pretty good to me, will certainly pop in a try one on when I'm next passing one of the two Tudor AD's in Edinburgh.
Can't imagine I'll be looking to buy one at the moment, that's 6 months of energy bills right there

Re: New Tudor Release 39mm Pelagos
I like it a lot. I'll have to see the dial and bezel in the metal to really pass judgement, but the sunburst effect seems pretty subtle compared to, say, an Orient Mako. I know this is meant to be Tudor's pure tool watch, but I can't help but think that polishing the case bevel would have taken this to the next level.

Re: New Tudor Release 39mm Pelagos
Makes me doubt every watch choice I ever made. I thought I could out-sophisticate the advertising people!
Re: New Tudor Release 39mm Pelagos
I was reaching for my Mastercard when I spotted the caseback was steel, not titanium. So, it’s a ‘no’ from me.
Using a steel caseback negates the benefits of an otherwise titanium watch. It means the Pelagos isn’t wearable by anyone with a nickel allergy and loses titanium’s comfort in temperature extremes.
At this price point, I feel it’s naughty of Tudor to use cheaper materials – grade 2 titanium, not grade 5, and a caseback that’s not even titanium. It’s what I expect and get at Steinhart’s price level.
It’s Pelagos close but no cigar.
