I got hands-on with the Tudor Pelagos in blue - this is Tudor's answer to the Rolex SeaDweller. After wearing the Tudor Pelagos for a week I noticed the 42mm wide case is actually 40.5mm wide, so it doesn't wear large, and the lightweight titanium case and bracelet aren't all that light. Which I think is a good thing.
There are three Tudor Pelagos in the range:
Tudor Pelagos Blue m25600tb
Tudor Pelagos Black m25600tn
Tudor Pelagos Black LHD m25610tnl
I will be doing another video comparing the Tudor Pelagos Vs Tudor BlackBay range.

This is the first luxury diver I have ever actually taken diving. I’ve been rocking a scurfa diver one for years and before that I just wore a computer. Something absolutely beautiful about seeing this doing what it is capable of accomplishing even if just at 30 meters
The MOST amazing Tudor I've seen and now finally I own.
I've been watching you for years, and the level of editing your videos have now is night and day from when you first started! Keep it up!!
Those two days for the intro were absolutely worth it ;-)
Great review, once again! thanks a lot, Adrian.
The Pelagos has been on my shortlist for a while. Absolutely love how the date window integrates and almost disappears into the dial.
I have the LHD and simply love it. I have a few watched (love them all), but he Pelagos is special, because is a non compromises watch: it seems that was made for what it is supposed to do, not pretending to be any other thing (versatile). Very high quality and understated (which is something essential for me).
I just love the overall blueness of it. It's matte. It's calming.
Had mine a year now. Absolutely love it. So much so I don’t wear my other watches. Or when I do I end up swapping it out fast. Definitely ideal for a one watch collection. Great vid.
YASSS! Loved this! It's only convinced me more that I WANT ONE SO BAD!
Hot DAMN that cinematography, Adrian!! The best watch channel out there!
Love mine, I ended up selling everything else and having it as a one watch collection.
I got to the same conclusion with my Black Bay 58, more suitable to my slender wrist.
Mikey Flewitt Me too! Sold my whole collection over the past two months and only kept the Pelagos.
I tried on the Pelagos at an AD but the blue did not resonate with me. It seemed too light and bright. I preferred the black dial. I also like the fact they make a left hand crown version.
I could see that happening. This is a very nice watch.
I'll never understand a one watch "collection".
Love my LHD Pelagos, bought it to alternate my GMTII. It has not left my wrist in 11 months and my GMT feels like my luxury watch now with all that's happening with Rolex prices. Was lucky to go dive late last year and realized the Pelagos feels right at home in the sea...superb visibility, great bezel action, versatile clasp, easy to wash off the saltwater, etc. Hands down the best tool watch I've owned.
I totally agree with you about trying this on when looking for a diver. I’ve spent the last few weeks trying different brands and models. A couple really stood out until I tried on the Pelagos. Game over- bought the black one on Thursday. Love it.
Bought one without researching it just a quick try on and go. What a watch!
I want to get to the point where I can buy a Tudor in any fashion that feels "quick"
Great video!
The pelagos is at its best in the LHD form, IMO. The red Pelagos on the dial draws attention away from the paragraph at 6 o clock, and pays homage to the sub. The roulette date wheel is a nice feature as well. Lume also has a tasteful tint to it.
If you read the article on the LHD written by Wei Koh, I think most people would agree that it really is an amazing piece with technology that puts it well above its competitors.
I recently purchased this watch in large part because of this review. I've tried it on several times at AD's but you can't tell that much in just a few minutes. It is a great watch and I am very pleased with it. Fits my lifestyle much better than a SMP or PO. However, the spring loaded clasp does not work for daily wear or non diving applications. You can read about this in other watch forums but I'd much rather see a larger range of fixed point micro adjustments. There are enough fixed points for me to accommodate fluctuations between hot and cold but the tension of the spring load is too tight for it to be used on a regular basis. I believe there is no half link option for this bracelet. Fortunately for me by adding an additional link I can stay out of the spring loaded section of the clasp. I have an 8.5" wrist so the case size and thickness for me are just fine. Great Review
Bravo, Adrian! Killer style and presentation on this video. The drone work and transitions were fantastic!
This was the most enjoyable watch rundown I’ve seen. Going to purchase the Pelagos early 2021 I think.
Just got mine in the mail few days ago. No regret at all. Chose the black dial as it’s more versatile in my opinion.
@@gauravg789 congratulations! Welcome to the club!
I'd love to see Tudor really back the Pelagos as a full range. My number one criticism of the Blackbay is that is a watch constantly looking backwards, always looking to what was. The Pelagos feels like its looking forward, looking to what could be. I think a Tudor with full, vibrant lines in the Blackbay and Pelagos, balancing each other, would actually be kind of exciting.
Prolly one of the most comperhensive review of the pelagos. Awesome!
Amazing intro on this one Adrian, you're getting incredibly good at making these videos. Keep up the good work!
This one is new to me. The blue face and titanium work. Good video.
Loved the "new style" video. I don't know how many times a year you'll be able to do this given the midges and the length of the Scottish summer. I'm not sure I agree about there being few straps which are 22mm wide though. I've never found a problem sourcing straps for my watches which have a 22mm between lug dimension. Perhaps the Bark&Jack shop has, subconsciosly, specialised in straps for "petite" watches. Now if this watch had a 21mm between lug dimension you would have been absolutely correct.
I'm not sure about the Pelagos. I am not a fan of the snowflake handset. I do agree that it is imperative to try a watch on, especially an expensive one I have found that the real life impression of a watch is much better than any online one and trying watches on has saved me from some expensive mistakes.
Love the content and keep up the great work.
Another awesome video, Adrian...and a new/different intro song! Well thought out review, couldn’t agree more with the advice of trying on a watch; they are always so different in the flesh. Glad to see your thumb is recovering. Take care.
Love that my favourite watch CZcamsrs are just now getting to the Pelagos, but also hoping it stays an underappreciated gem - otherwise I'll never be able to get one!
When Tudor created this watch they created a lot of "firsts" in the Tudor line-up. I may be wrong but first ceramic bezel, first lumed bezel, first 500 meter diver, first helium escape valve, first titanium case and bracelet, first micro-adjust clasp, and very close to the first in-house movement. That's a lot of firsts and many of these firsts were the first in the Rolex brand as well. I guess I'm saying that a lot of creativity went into the Pelagos which is unusual for the Rolex/Tudor brand. Most times they work on small evolutionary steps to get to a final Wow! With this watch they just jumped out of their corner swinging precise power punches left and right. Wish it would happen more often......
These “firsts” did not require any creativity, as this stuff has existed for some time outside Rolex/Tudor.
@@6stringocd424 not true, the pelagos was the first watch with a titanium case and bracelet from the rolex family, and the moving springs on the clasp were a first for both tudor and rolex as well. Also, the lumed bezel is a first if I'm not mistaken.
Roamy360 Breitling Colt in 2005 was a 500 meter watch
ivan kerr a first for them not industry-wide
ivan kerr ...the Rolex Sea Dweller was first released in 1967 with a a rating of 610m , currently 1,220m, while the Deepsea has a rating of 3900m. So unless we focus on the technicality that 500 does not equal 3900, then this is nothing new for the Rolex family by any stretch. I’ll give it that it’s a first for Tudor but that’s one of those distinctions like: third man to set foot on the moon, on a Tuesday in August, on a leap year, while chewing gum...
I have the Pelagos ETA last gen model. I can assure you that there is nothing like it in the Tudor line. The micro adjustment bracelet. Titanium case. Ultra light feel. Premium finishing. Gun metal look. I was initially aiming to buy the BB diver range but after trying this on there was turning back afterwards. It is very under the radar and criminally underrated by those who want a watch that is loud, flashy and screams “Tudor”. You will also notice that the older ETA Pelagos models do not even have the word “Pelagos” on the dial! Almost as if it wasn’t needed :)
@Bark and Jack thank you so much for this video, which helped be pull the trigger and purchase this IMO ultimate blue divers watch last week.
Really enjoying your channel in terms of style, quality and heartfelt talk about watches. Keep up the good work!
I absolutely love mine. I’ve had it for about a month and I still smile when I look at it.
Have a 2-liner and love it. It wears thinner than the in-house movement. In general the Pelagos gets compared to the Sub or BB but I think it’s more of a SD4K competitor at a fraction of the price.
I recently bought one as I loved the blue dial and the fact it was titanium. I am really enjoying it, as its not quite as heavy as a Rolex and very comfortable on the wrist. Great Lume as you mentioned.
Loved the format and style of presentation of this video - so much so that I've just subscribed 😎
Had one for my 40th and absolutely love it👌
This was probably the best intro I have seen on 'watch' CZcams!
Thanks so much Harry. It took ages to edit so I’m glad you appreciate it. 🙌🏻
Totally agree, that intro was like a hollywood edit, great job Adrian!
Bark and Jack, what is the song in the intro? It’s epic!
This is what the Sub used to be, before it became a luxury milestone.
Listen here boy, Feel the same my Tudor GMT. It’s perfect travel, casual, swimming tool, whereas Rolex GMT is more for the yacht club than the beach.
It's an awkward truth that all Rolex are luxury items even the ones that look functional. a BMW X5 and a Land Rover might look the same but picking one to go off road is easy.
Tired of rolex
@@jukebox1794 Sub is expensive, but is not really luxury, just like Louis Vuitton compared to Hermès :-)
@@andychang7137 yup, very tired of rolex
Still making my favorite watch review videos. Thank you
Another great video brother. Love your down to earth style of watch reviews, more like a conversation. Brilliant mate!
Thanks so much man. I appreciate you saying that. 🙌🏻
Oh! production value and camera skills just went up a notch.
Excellent video. Specs +personnal comments. The Pelagos probably the most interesting Tudor release of the past ten years. Not a new version of vintage watch but a modern reinterpretation of the Submariner. A step further. Very very interesting
This watch is the equivalent of having a girlfriend with no personality, that wears oversized, unflattering jeans and a plain white t shirt, that the only good thing going for her is that she is excellent at her job....boring, boring, boring!!
Finally, been waiting for this video whole week as I own the same watch as well
The blue is so nice I know someone who had one and loved it
Great video! I’ve been waiting for this!
Love it. Opted for the LHD instead whilst waiting for the BB Harrods. So glad I did. My favorite.
really like the look of the LHD version
That red date, I love it!
Rarer than 🦄 💩 in these parts.
I love how you go outside too.
Great review! I own the Pelagos with the blue dial and I absolutely love it! This is the classic tool watch and not only is the dial lummed, so is the bezel. It absolutely looks awesome at night. Just a great all around casual/ beach watch!!
Love your video! Amazing view and great use of footage and transition. Very down to earth, the pelagos complements perfectly the style of this video!
22mm is a pretty damn common strap width. I've never once heard someone complain about 22mm straps. Pretty universal.
Agreed. Adrian - if you are not doing 22mm then you are surely missing out on a lot of potential Seiko business...
Just wait until he realizes the Tudor Bronze uses a 23mm strap. Your options are Barton and custom.
One of my favourite watched especially the LHD model
Really enjoy your videos... I find myself dropping everything when you post. Keep up the fantastic work Adrian, and loved the intro btw!
I absolutely love the Pelagos blue. And your video quality is superb as well! Love the natural setting - it sets you apart.
Keep it up!
I collect and wear Rolex sport watches, however thanks to your review I investigated the Tudor Pelagos and ended up purchasing all three models. I like all three for different reasons, especially when you consider all three cost about the same has my Deepsea. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for watching mate good work. The Pelagos is one hell of a watch. Especially compared to the price of the Rolex equivalents. I’m selling my no date sub because of the BB58. 👍🏻
@@BarkandJack Thank you for your reply, I am on the waiting list for a Rolex GMT Master 2, in mixed metal, however I have since your reviews been having a serious look at the BB GMT. I can't get my head around how much of a bargain it is. £2800 before discount, what a bargain. I have been offered a OMEGA PLANET OCEAN 600M CO-AXIAL MASTER CHRONOMETER GMT 45.5MM Deep Black New for £6300 by my AD, I would appreciate your views.
Something the no one talks about is that the bracelet has more articulation than other oyster style bracelets. The 3 link brackets on Rolex, GS, Omega etc only pivot between the bottom of the middle link and the top of the outer links. The Pelagos pivots between all the links. Fits more like a jubilee than an oyster.
Thanks for sharing. Did not know this and hope to see someone pointing this out in a video review
Excellent A! This is one of the best. The fusion of content with atmosphere rocks. And the elegant sliding of the B&J shop were the chef's kiss. Well done. I've always thought this was a hell of a watch but felt the black and white version a bit sterile. Now you have me interested in the blue. Oh the possibilities!.
Sweet looking watch. Love the mixing up of review venue too. Gorgeous scenery.
I really like the look of this one and the 42mm is right up my alley. The 14+mm thickness is a big no from me, though. Not really sure why the BB line and the Pelagos line have to be so thick for minimal complications. That type of thickness is typically associated with a chronograph but this doesn't have anything more than time/date.
Been weighing up the LHD version for a while but a Pelagos is my next purchase for sure.
Its quirkiness makes it more interesting
Think this is one of my favourite videos you’ve done. Loved the videography and the watch too 👍
FINALLY purchased this blue beauty yesterday. Big thanks to you Adrian for all the Pelagos content (and the other great watch videos for that matter) that held me over til I could finally get it on wrist 😂
Recommended on my CZcams page...since am a ardent watch enthusiastic. Loved the intro theme tune... subscribed 👏
Thanks so much Rakesh. 🙌🏻
Finally! I’ve watched so many Pelagos reviews. But yours was the one I’ve waited for. I think you one told me you suspected it would be too sporty for you. But it looks great on you.
Hey Ben, thanks for watching mate. Hope you’re well.
Honestly I wasn’t to sure about this watch. Thank you for changing my mind
Probably the best watch channel around, honest, well articulated reasoning, and good taste. Need to buy one of these one day. Subbed.
Long story long re the blue Pelagos: I fell in love with the ETA Pelagos, but by the time I got around buying one, I ended up with the LHD because I got a good deal on it. Wore it on a trip with my gf to Japan (remember when we used to be able to travel?) and tried lifting a “Chikara Ishi” (Google it) and messed up the bracelet. I didn’t really like the fauxtina so I trade it in. Several watches later, an ETA Pelagos came up and I bought it. I love the clean 2-liner dial but it does feel a bit sterile and the less than 2 days power reserve never really sat well with me (I rotate through a 5 watch collection and don’t believe in a watch winder), so I sold it. Then, two weeks ago, my regular watch dealer has a blue Pelagos and I sprung for it. He gave it to me for really really cheap because he told me the lume came off on some of the markings (known issue on this watch), I did some research and found out that if you go to the RSC with a Pelagos with papers and in otherwise good condition, BUT the lume is falling out, 7-8 times out of ten, they will replace the faulty bezel. That’s what I did and now I am the proud owner of a blue Pelagos that has a brand new bezel and serviced free of charge. I think the blue version of the Pelagos is finally a keeper. Blue on a Tudor + snow flake hands and indices give this watch just the right mix of heritage and modernity :)
Tudor are stepping up into Rolex's place in the market. Buy these watches while they're still affordable!
Excellent video and yes the relaxed style and location added to it in my opinion. Great timing Adrian as I am buying a Pelagos tomorrow and your views confirmed my own. 👍
Love the quality in these videos
I went in to get a Black Bay 58 and when I saw this with my own eyes, which is even better than the videos, I ended up with this Pelagos.
I went and tried this on yesterday and absolutely you are right. I really didn’t think it would suit me and I thought the BB58 blue would be much more my thing, and I was astonished at how well this wore. I love the robustness of the combination of ceramic and titanium, and the way it downplays any flashyness. If the AD had had a BB GMT for me to try alongside I may well have bought it, but I do want to try the GMT before I make a decision. But I have this odd feeling that I’ll end up with it, because it just felt ‘right’ for me the moment I tried it. Very odd, and not what I was expecting
@grahamsalmons2027 what did you go for in the end?
@@rymcn5220 After much deliberating I bought a BB GMT. I travel a lot (every week), and the second time function highly appealed. I haven’t regretted my decision for a second, the GMT has been stunning in every respect including ridiculous accuracy (about a second a month).
It is currently the most favourite thing I own. It exudes quality and is utterly solid and well engineered. I love all the details, snowflake hands, ceramic bearings for the clasp, precision of the bezel and sharpness of the hands and indexes.
I expected the aluminium bezel to mark (a reason for preferring ceramic) but even though I’m so hard on the watch (it is a daily beater absolutely) it has shrugged off all scratches and marks. It still looks phenomenal, yet understated. I don’t feel self conscious wearing it, or at risk of mugging in some of the less salubrious places I go to. It has been worth every penny.
Having said that I am also equally confident there is no bad decision: they are both awesome.
@@grahamsalmons2027 Great choice and you've certainly sold it to me. My grail watch is the Rolex Batgirl but until then, my plan is to buy a Tudor for my 30th birthday. I've done so much research and have gone done multiple rabbit holes. I've changed my mind countless times, but at the moment, my plan is to go with the 42mm Pelagos in black. I absolutely adore the tool nature of it... the matte finish, the clasp, the darker metal without being 'too' lightweight. I've also tried on the 39mm version which was stunning but I felt as though Tudor slightly bottled it by pulling back on the characteristics which originally made the Pelagos so good. On top of that, at around 110 grams in weight, it's lightness actually made it feel less expensive compared to stainless steel. No doubt I'll change my mind again once updated 41mm heritage Black Bays are released soon in all colourways.
@@rymcn5220 Completely agree with you in all aspects. Just an awesome watch. As much as I’m looking at the BB41 for something dressier there is every chance if I go to buy something the lure of the Pelagos will get me. I wish you much happy time with your watch.
I’ll say one other thing: I travel all over the world. On several occasions in different places people have randomly said to me “class” and pointed at the watch. I’ve never had that reaction to a watch, and I love that the nature of the brand means that those in the know, know, and that it speaks something about ME. There’s no doubt it will do the same for you too.
Great presentation, i own a Black Tudor Pelagos and i Love it
Really nice editing on this one, and it’s nice to see a slightly fresher opening and exit. Well done 🙂 The watch review was, as usual, very good. I tried that on and found it to be just that bit too big compared to the BB58 which sits so much more sweetly.
I own a first Gen Pelagos and when it came out I chose it over the black bay because I was not a fan of the homage look. This is truly the best watch in the Rolex/ Tudor catalogue.
This watch is the equivalent of having a girlfriend with no personality, that wears oversized, unflattering jeans and a plain white t shirt, that the only good thing going for her is that she is excellent at her job....boring, boring, boring!!
@@marcozuleta133 I completely agree with this hilarious take. I think though this watch with the exception of the movement is the best of the best in build quality and tech and unfortunately I cannot say that about even the newest Rolex.
@@themainspringer build quality you cannot go wrong with a Rolex, tech wise I think the Pelagos is an overpriced watch... I'll just get a Quartz Seiko instead or an Apple watch. Wrist watches tech is obsolete at this point and if I'm gonna spend money on technology I rather get the best of the best.
The blue Tudor Pelagos has been in the number 1 position of my Next Watch candidates since before Covid-19.
And unless I get "the call" from Harrods for their Tudor Heritage Black Bay Special Edition in the next month or so, it'll be on my wrist by October.
Great review Adrian. Just one word, I really admire the integrity of what you're doing on your channel. I would imagine the temptation to "whore yourself out" must've been very strong at times, especially with a family. Kudos to you for staying the course. It's not lost on me as a fan & subscriber. Given you're at 100K subscribers with a bullet, it's not lost on anyone else either. Please keep up the good work.
How long have you been on 'the list' just out of interest? Was going to go down and join the list in these next few weeks
Nice video Adrian, loved this outside videography, beautiful shots. Keep up the good work!
Fantastic man , I really enjoy watching your videos , arguably the best around. Please keep educating and entertaining us.
If they made a version that had a 40mm case, 12-13mm thick, 20mm lug width and the spring adjustment clasp more hidden and discreet then I would buy one immediately!
If and if and if and if
Came back to your channel after a couple of month. You have really improved your game. Keep up the good work. ;-)
Thanks so much buddy. 🙌🏻
Finally my favorite account reviews my favorite watch!
That intro was bananas! Keep up the great work! Thank you
The 5 lines of text at 6 o'clock is outlandish. 2 or 3 lines should suffice (like the original ETA version). Other than that, I love the Pelagos.
hear me out... what if you're on the crapper and you don't have something to read?
@@pizza.doctor 😅😅😅
@@pizza.doctor HAHAHAHA!
I absolutely love the Pelagos... I wish they would do a smaller version, like how Tudor did for the Black Bay with the BB58.
Shipmate feel it would lose some of its rugged charm
i feel like the charm of the pelagos is the size and the toughness. the usability of the bracelet and the great legibility! i can’t wait to get one for christmas. no way it’s too heavy, the titanium is perfect
I am kind of of the same opinion, however, Adrian has a smallish wrist and it looks great on him.
A women version ?
Watch This! All of your points I agree with except I like titanium, but wish it was the brighter colored titanium like Grand Seiko uses on their Snowflake
The opening was worth the wait. Good job!
Nailed the intro! So clean and crispy!!! Awesome watch and review 👍
Cheers Joel. 🙌🏻
Tool watches are G-Shocks, other Casios, Garmins, Suuntos etc.
These are jewellery.
Yeah but they be fugly and made of plastic.The Pelagos is art, it was invented in a parallel universe quartz never happened.
japanwatchconnection On the contrary I feel sad that window lickers like you are allowed access to the internet to post your mindless brain farts. You really should be drooling in a padded cell somewhere.
Love this watch, it's such a cool true toolwatch, no bling bling, no bullshit.
I loved the no bullshit factor too. It was really apparent with this.
Big fan of the pelagos and so this review has been long awaited, thank you! Great watch and that strap detail is 👌🏻 Also loved that drone to wrist shot in the opening, very clever 👏🏻
I’ve always loved this piece. Great watch. Underrated for sure. ...great production by the way. Very much enjoy your content.
I really liked the Pelagos when I tried all 3 on. I preferred the colouring of the LHD but I couldn't cope with the crown being on the wrong side 😟
Same here.... when you think about it though, the Pelagos was conceived as a brutalist modern tool watch not a vintage inspired piece like the black bay - so the faux patina on the lhd just undermines the ethos of the watch. I can’t deny it doesn’t look good though 🤷🏻♂️
Well the left hand drive is for lefties the fact that people wear it on the left wrist then say it's odd make me wonder what they were expecting.
@@robertsullivan4773 no really? Thanks I hadn't realised.😬
I love my Pelly and I'm sure I will never let it go. In fact it's the only current Tudor I really like.
I said the same thing, until I found a great deal on a 214270 MK2
The 214270 is a lovely watch, however unfortunately a little too small for my wrist.
@@leifdehio2151 sometimes i feel that way, after getting rid of my LHD for it, i have been contemplating the blue now lol
Great video Adrian! I purchased a Pelagos LHD 3 months ago (wearing on my left wrist) after watching numerous reviews including Tim Mosso's. It doesn't disappoint in any way and as you say, doesn't wear as a typical 42mm. I have 7inch wrists, so it wears well and with a tropical strap gives it pops even more. Nice daily to compliment my Air-king date 5700 for formal wear - would be great to see some more vintage Rolex content on your channel. Keep up the great work!
Not only concise but also artistic! Great editing!
Plus: Great watch and awesome review :-D
North Flag......total Tudor Tool Watch
The Tudor Pelagos is where the Rolex Sub was in the 60’s!
How do you mean?
I think he means price, status and what it was used for. The Rolex was a no nonsense tool watch
@@vinchel118 Ah, I see. Though a Sub in the 60's was about $1000 in today's dollars. This is over $3000
The sub was never a true dive watch. The Tudor actually is.
I will explain why. Its titanium that doesn't react with saltwater. The bracelet expands and contracts with your wetsuit as the water pressure changes during the dive. Genius! The bezel is larger than the case so you can easily adjust it at the water surface with gloves on before your dive.
@@stephens2r338 I'm sorry, the Submariner was never a true dive watch? Can't say I agree with you.
This and the SD43 - my favorite Rolex/Tudor divers. Great video!
I purchased the Tudor pelagos a month ago. my first nice watch. love the look , love the color , love the bracelet , & and you said it the Lum - lasts all night. I didn't really know Tudor. after researching - i made the buy. I like the dial - . I think I made a good buy. its my daily wear. thanks B&J. stay safe. ~ JDS/CT
I've always thought a date complication undermines the 'tool-ness' of supposed tool watches, this included.
The date is a tool purpose though…Watches without dates are more aesthetic and less tool like. To be a tool watch it must aide the user, not hinder them, which a date does
@@HOBBL3 A tool watch has a primary function by definition, a dive watch's primary function is not to tell the date at 3,000 feet below the ocean's surface
My grail watch, i am surprised you didn't mention the 5 lines of text as a gripe doesn't bother me but regularly gets bought up..
Tbh when I saw pictures it did bother me, but the watch in person is just so beautiful. Everything works really well, and the text doesn't bother at all. I fell in love with the blue version, it just works so well!
The 5 lines is a little odd, but really didn't stand out as a negative for me. Similar to the fake pip on the triangle on the bezel. It's odd, but nothing bad.
Funniest description I ever read was about it was “the Pelagos looks like a poker chip with a paragraph of nonsense on it” can’t disagree but I still love this watch and I’ll probably own one, once I figure out where it should fit in my collection alongside my Submariner and Black Bay 58 🤷🏻♂️
@@steelstunners1862 lol hint it doesn't fit but that's fine. I have five Breitlings in my collection. They don't fit either but I like them all. You like Tudor so go for it.
I like the style of your video, very relaxing hearing the water sound.
Thanks very much David. Loch Lomond is a lovely area.
I purchased a new Pelagos in black 5 months ago. I love it.
If I ever find myself back in Scotland I'll be sure to take the high road to Loch Lomond.
My Heritage Ranger says "Tool watch reporting for duty"
