Can we just say Tudor and not Two-door 😅
I’ve got a 3 door
He’s British that’s just how they talk, he can’t help it.
@@OperationNonsensehe’s not even British, how in the hell is that a British accent
Aussie?
@@OperationNonsensedo you know who the Tudors’s were? Or where they are from?
So if you can afford a Rolex Submariner, you can get a Tudor Pelagos AND a BB58, and walk away with change. The Pelagos 39 is a true future classic, all the touches are 21st century updates to the classic Tudor Sub formula. If you want a Pro diver, go Pelagos 42. If you want a classy, modern, dive inspired sports watch that’s made to go anywhere and do anything, go Pelagos 39. If you want a retro nineteen-fifties inspired classic dive style watch, go Black Bay 58. Tudor have a watch for (nearly) everyone now.
this take is better than the video
🤣
Tudor annoys Rolex owners and wanna be Rolex owners but they seem to forget the shield protects the crown.
I have a 2008 non date Sub and while I still love it, I might prefer my new 39. I recently bought the FXD and at £7,270 for both Pelagos watches against a new non date Sub at £7,700, I would say buy the two from Tudor. Only problem is, if you are able to buy a Sub at retail, you have to buy it. It will be instantly worth £4,000 more. At £12,000 plus for a used Sub, buy the Pelagos 39 and keep over £8,000 in the bank. It’s a no brainier.
Yes but if you really want a Sub.. you can buy toss watches and a few months later you’ll still want the Sub. Just buy what you want.
very good quality video my friend. This youtube channel is under-rated and needs to be seen and known by more peeps. Really nice job ! thank you for your work and highlights!
I love 2-door, my favourite watch brand.
I have a BB58 and the Pelagos 39 is a great watch but I won't be swapping my BB58 for a Pelagos. BB58 has a lot more charm and character to it. Either way, you can't go wrong
When you have a blue bb58, pelagos 39 looks excellent :D
The 58 is a tad dressier and the pelagos is a bit more rugged looking, but either can walk the line equally well if you don’t take it to the extremes.
This is a great comparison of the three watches! I had to make two separate videos, P39 vs 58 and P39 vs SubC, yours is definitely a more viewer friendly video! Keep up the good work!
Thanks mate!
Amazing video, really love this content.
Fantastic video, keep up the good work!
Great review…final comments are spot on!
The P39 is better than the BB58 and the Submariner.
This Pelagos 39 looks like almost the perfect watch for me - completely matching my preferences except for just a couple small things.
I thought so too, I tried it on today and compared it to the BB58 on a steel bracelet, both available. I went for the Pelagos 39, it really is a stunning piece.
great vid! subbed
As always, good stuff
Fantastic video!
Thank you for this excellent video, the comparison with the BB58 and Submariner were especially useful 👍
Love it. Like Bark and Jack, youv'e pointed out the marketing, with the linen suits etc. , but its gotta be the best looking diver, nay watch ever!!!!!!
what is your wrist size? I have a 6.25" inch wrist and I'm not sure it'll fit well?
I’ve had a deepsea black dial for years, wife bought me both blue and black pelagos this year. As amazing and perfect watches they are, the rolex just has that something extra- beside the hefty price tag! Choice and value with the Tudor all day long.
Huh??
I know what you mean, but it’s also deliberate in the design. Well, the bezel does have the 120 instead of 60 clicks, which is nice. But other than that there are a lot more polished surfaces and a shinier dial/ indeces etc that make it more elegant. But if you take that away it’s kind of hard to compare a steel sub or a similar to an all brushed titanium pelagos. They do have great clasps and the new micro adjustment should be in all Rolex watches. The easy link is useless, as 5mm is just way too much extra girth for any normal temperature changes. I digress.
Great video. Love the new Tudor Pelagos!
Im waiting for my pelagos 39 to arrive and a 58 will for sure be my next one
I don’t understand why they couldn’t do a full 300m water resistant if it doesn’t need the valve
Did you find the line on the hands died out before the markers as others have seen?
Lovely watch my choice would be Pelagos 42 all day from the Tudors. The Sub is amazing and I own it but don’t love the high polished sides how big the crown wears and the bezel it’s too toy ish compared to the Pelagos 42.
I have a two-door convertible, does that count?
You watch guys need to get over the obsession with diving capabilities and tool watches. Virtually no one wears them for that function any longer. They are nearly all fashion pieces. Everyone is beating around the bush with this watch and you've come closest to nailing it with this comparison but still missed the mark. This is a sub-alternative and the best one we've seen since the originals were released by either company. And that's why I love it and why it will be so successful. It is an understated, significantly more affordable, sub. End of story. Now someone help me find one!
They are becoming easier to get. I sold a Tag to my jeweller and said I wanted to see the 39. They said they had one in the safe for someone but he just called to say he doesn’t want it. Two hours later, it was mine.
That’s like buying a car with a Ferrari badge that goes slow and saying nobody races them or drives them fast anyway. So many divers who wear these along with the dive computers in the other wrist.
Love it. Want it.
Tudor, now i m waiting for the slimmer, upgraded Black bay diver 41 since i got a 17.5 - 18 cm wrist (i sold my blue bb58). Please make it 48.5mm L2L, 12mm thick and 21mm lug width. Thanks.
Love now I want one !
I really enjoyed this stream and have liked and subscribed. I bought the Pelagos in blue 3wks ago & have the 39 on order. I’m sure too be buying more from them. I also have some watches from Omega, Rolex but I wish I’d joined the Tudor party earlier. 👍
Thanks for the review this is great content. I think a submariner and a pelagos 39 can coexist in the same collection. I would reach for the pelagos more often given how light and wearable it is. Modern subs are nice but for a 6.5 inch they’re kinda of chunky now.
Jealous!
I sold my 90s Rolex Sub and used the funds to buy a Black Bay Chrono and a Pelagos 42. I don't regret it (yet).
big fail :D
Chrono is the Reverse Panda? How is the thicness and comfort on your wrist?
I prefer the Black Bay M79230B-0008 41mm with the white hand set, and matt blue anodised aluminium Bezel insert.
Has the retro signed crown with the Tudor rose, Domed sapphire crystal, and Rivet bracelet...
But I Prefer the slightly bigger size, the clean white hand set(and lume) and the matt blue insert for a bit of color. A modern retro look(LoL), the best of both worlds. I'm aware one in Steel and the other is Titanium. I'm used to steel watches, and actually don't even notice the weigh.
You're too swayed by the group-think biases that watch enthusiasts have. Heavy=quality, marketing=actual function.
I love it also
"two door" close buddy, keep trying!
Pelagos and BB are good for daily beater watch , keep the Rolex in box for occasional wear imo.
Funny how a 4500 Swiss Franc price tag gets converted into 6000 US Dollars although the exchange rate is practically 1.
Yeah no one is paying $6000 USD for a BB58
It could be that he means Australian dollars
Loved this when it came out, but as a blue 42mm Pelagos owner the only thing I can think of is that Tudor stripped all the unique charms of the brutally functional 42 to make the 39 more appealling to the masses. Nothing wrong with that approach and it's still an epic watch, just missing some of those key elements (dynamic clasp, hev, cut out rehaut, etc.) that made the first Pelagoses (Pelagi?) a Pelagos
They definitely should’ve kept the 42mm Pelagos for the chunky fat people. There’s still the FXD for them though.
I think they are still offering the 42’s, this is just an addition.
@@nathanf1934 they did, moron
@@whereRbearsTeeth ok fat boy.
Nice watches , one day I will wear one😢
It's $4400 not $6k...
I prefer the 42mm Pelagos
Love it
I am hearing Tudor has issue with the bezel that it’s coming off on some Pelagius 39 models.?
All brands have their fair share of lemons even Rolex.
Everything about these watches has completely gone over your head. That or you just don’t understand watches.
Tudor are nailing it
🤣
Forget the marketing and forget trying to compare it to a submariner, the Tudor Pelagos is an amazing watch and is in it’s own category.
Its more Tewder than Chewdoor. Short 'o' as with motor.
ibwould like to compare this weight woth a 5 dogot sub hollow links
Grade 2 titnium is commercially pure...grade 5 is the alloy that includes aluminum and vannadium...though it's stronger, it's not pure. That being said, I prefer the original Pelagos as it fits me better.
Why would anyone care if it’s “pure” titanium. Grade 5 is superior, period. When you buy a gold Rolex, it’s obviously not “pure” 24 karat. This is one of the dumbest comments I’ve read in a while.
Pure Titanium is softer so more wearable. I have handled this new Pelagos and it feels premium. The comment is not dumb as its the same argument with 9ct and 24ct gold.
@@resjon7981 why would it be more wearable. What does this even mean?
Two door? I’m More of a 5 door guy myself
Don’t. No one can say Tudor. This bloke is Too-door. Americans are Tooter. How hard is it to say one simple word?
Fantastic video but the way you pronounce Tudor bugs me HAHA "Chu-Door" as opposed to the commonly accepted "Chu-Dah". To each their own i guess.
@Will Harris Aussie accent here 😅
Drives me nuts too 🤯
Yeah why does he say two door? Puts me off, not watching vid after the first 20 sec lol
Of course I read this comment before even starting the video…can’t get it out of my head
Wrong. It's "tuedoor".
If you want to sound American then saying ‘Tooder’ is close. ‘Two door’ is just silly.
It needs to be a matte dial and bezel
👍
I had a few Tudors: the LHD Pelagos, Heritage Chrono blue and Heritage BB Chronograph. I thought they were all spectacular but they couldn’t satisfy my Rolex desire. Two different categories to never be compared IMO
I don’t think you should ever get a Tudor in place of a Rolex. Save and get a Rolex if you really want one. Buy a Tudor for what they are - really well built and finished Swiss watches for their price bracket.
The issue I have with buying Tudor in place of Rolex, is there are other, cheaper homages you can buy. Why buy a Tudor when you can buy a Stenhart? Why buy Steinhart when you can buy some un-named Chinese clone?
@@bryanbeckett869 Since when was a Tudor a homage to an overpriced homage of a Zenith el Primero? No Tudor looks like a Rolex.
@@kevinbarnbrook4728 hah! I like that.
The Tudor GMT does share a likeness to the Rolex GMT master, and the BB Pro does look like an old Explorer II, though.
Edit: I’m not saying Tudor is a homage, but there are people who buy Tudor as a cheaper alternative to Rolex. I personally have a BB58, and I want the BB Pro, Ranger and Pelagos 39.
@@bryanbeckett869 I was just having a cheap shot at the Daytona for it's use of the El primero movement upto the year 2000, yes some of the new Tudors do share a few similarities to earlier Rolex models, but Tudor models are at least accessible, unlike Rolex, and produce an in house movement.
@@kevinbarnbrook4728 don’t worry dude I did actually like the cheap shot hah.
I’m not actually really a fan of Rolex for the usual reasons. Hey if I could pick one up at pre-inflated prices, without waitlists, or ridiculous second hand market? I’d be way more into them.
What is the name of the blue one?
2 🚪
I stopped after the first few TuDoors..
Really annoying isn’t it
😂😂😂😂😅
Did prices change on the Pelagos 39? I got one recently and MSRP was $4600
A/ The marketing is irrelevant to the quality of a watch
B/ Criticising a titanium watch for being light weight is ridiculous
C/ Who are two door?
Tu-door? Jeez the way thats being pronounced is killing me
The case is 39mm. You measure the bezel.
Good review. Watch geeks need to stop squealing very time Tudor puts a watch out that isn't a Submariner. Tudor will NEVER make another submariner. Tudor and Rolex are now very separate companies. Saying that, Tudor will never directly undercut Rolex with the same specifications. If you want a Submariner, buy vintage or get a new Rolex.
Or just buy this. It is a modern sub alternative in everything but name
Too light… I would prefer a black mat dial and steel case pélagos 39, with no sunburst effect
Its not Two-Door its Tuu-Der.
Two door
It's not pronounced "Two door".
I've had two Subs, so I'm not looking for a Submariner replacement or equivalent. I bought a black BB58 a few weeks ago, and I am loving it.
I said that to say I'm saving up to buy either a blue Pelagos or a Pelagos 39 if Tudor comes out with a blue version. I can easily wear a full size Pelagos, but my BB58 has me thinking I might love a Pelagos 39, in blue...
Buy the FXD.
if the titanium is still soft i'd stick with a steel watch
I want to get me a four door Pelagos, better practicality.
pell-AH-goz, not PEL-a-goz. Check how Tudor pronounces it. Otherwise, nice review. We'll let the whole Two-door vs Tudor thing slide 🙂
Haha bit harsh, so many people pronounce Pelagos that way, it feels like it's nearly an accepted alternative. Two-door on the other hand!
Chew-da
@@waynee52 I prefer to chew extra
They look nice those two door, watches😂❤😢
just so you all know, Tudor movements are not inhouse. They are either developed by Breitling or Developed by Kennisi exclusively for Tudor which is maketed as in house...
Really? Show me who makes the movement for the Pelagos range.
GAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHBAAAAAAAGGEEE. Just kidding, it's a spectacular watch 😊.
The case is 39mm, the bezel is 40mm….so, yes, it’s a 39mm watch.
Tudor Pelagos 39, one sexy beast!
Not really
@@whereRbearsTeeth No, really
BB58
2 Door?
I've had the 58 for a couple of years now and have been trying to get my hands on the submariner. The pelagos 39 has made me question if it's worth jumping through hoops to get the sub not to mention the price difference.
If you already have the BB 58 and are looking for a Submariner, I wouldn't get the Pelagos. It means what you really want is a Rolex and in the end you will not be fully satisfied with anything else.
@@Drakewyrm
I think you're absolutely right if I get the pelagos a year later I'll still be chasing the sub.
The submariner is in an entirely different league than the Tudor. And it’s not even close
@@whereRbearsTeeth "Not even close" ? From their specs to do look damn close, actually.
Wait for the Sub as it’s worth more than you will pay. Mine is now worth 5 times what I paid. Even at trade it’s 4 times.
Buy the 39 to wear until then. You will probably keep it. It’s really nice, I might prefer it to my Sub.
Just picked up my Pelagos 39 - absolutely love it. I was all set to add a BB58 OG to my collection alongside my Submariner 124060 and Pelagos FXD.
The P39 is perfect for when my Sub is a bit ostentatious or when the FXD is too casual. The P39 can do it all.
I’m between BB58 and P39 - difficult to know as my first serious watch
Me too, today I bought Pelagos 39 , I hunted for it about one year 🎉
Please stop calling the brand "Todoor"
Interesting way of pronouncing Tudor
Two door
The easy thing is to buy the Submariner, the smart thing is to buy the P39.
I love the Pelagos 39, but in stainless steel it would be perfect for me.
Never heard it pronounced twodoor 😅
tew door
TUDOOR
Two door cinema club Pelagos
4 doors and a Rolex 😂
They will sell a million of them, so they probably don't much care what watch enthusiasts think.
I like the looks of the thing - it's a dive-style watch built for casual wear - but not enough to shell out $6k for it. There are equally good-looking, high quality dive-style watches for a lot less (e.g Longines, Oris, etc.)
Tyudoor.
Chu door
why u wear it like this
Your wrist is Ridiculous 😂🏋️♀️
nobody cares what watch u wear in the office, just be a top performer
“Time to bulk” …what a f’ing dumb name
Two-Door? … It’s produced Tyou-dah!
maaan you need a 36mm 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Toothpick wrist
It’s pronounced “Tuder”
The way you keep pronouncing Tudor makes my piss boil
Toodaawh? Ffs. That’s not an Aussie accent thing, that’s just plain weird.
Thanks mate, will cite you as a source when correcting Joe next time 🤣
@@tenpiecesofeight Hilarious. Or you could just accept that it’s a completely dud pronunciation. Next up, Rolex pronounced “Breitling”, because who cares about accuracy?
@@JamieEHunter "Too-Dr" is the American pronunciation, "Choo-Duh" is the British. Both are correct
@@tenpiecesofeight And your one which is neither. If you think this is the ‘British’ pronunciation then you’re seriously mistaken. How could I know? Because I’m British, I live here and Tudor is an English name. The guy sounds like a complete muppet when he says it and others have pointed it out but you crack on pretending otherwise.
@@JamieEHunter it’s really not that big of a deal
There is only one Pelagos! And it's certainly NOT this one! It's just another silly BB variant and in NO WAY a real Pelagos. The 42mm Pelagos is and will stay the one and only real deal!!
It looks like a real Pelagos to me.
@@resjon7981 Well it sure doesn't to me!
