And I was inferring that is tripe belonging to trollers. Rolex makes wonderful watches, I have several. But that doesn’t mean that other brands are less worthy. That is the inference your words portrayed and it’s just plain rude.

Pelagos is more comparable to a Seadweller, I think you'd find a good use for both a P39 and a Sub...

So isn’t implying actually saying in a more nuanced way! My Tudors have no desire to be Rolex. And my Rolex watches sit happily within my collection rather than on top.

Amen to this comment.

Been thinking along these lines for quite some time.

Especially if Tudor continue their boutiques roll-out and start withdrawing them from the multiple high street jewellers they currently occupy.

Even better buy like new and save a fortune. Used prices have fallen for tudors, a few greys I've spoken to won't take them now as they're not moving.

I was offered one a month or two ago. Was keen att but it was less than the Monochrome which I walked out with.

Saw it yesterday at Tudor showcase event at Bucherer / Tourneau Pentagon City Mall.

That, the pink chrono and blue dial ceramic BB were not available for purchase.

I’ve been waiting for two different subs for a while now and ended up getting a BB burgundy with the 5 link bracelet (ironically I had to wait over a month for that too). While I’m still going to buy both the subs if the opportunity presents before year end, I have to say I’m really impressed by Tudor.

I own Rolex, Cartier, Seiko and some fashion brands and hands down this Tudor is my favorite watch. Handsome dial, good weight and size, comfortable bracelet with micro adjustments, awesome lume, METAS.

What I’m saying is I really like Tudor’s offerings right now and would have no qualms buying a Pelagos.

Tudor FXD M25717N-0001 here. It has been exceptional. Runs +0.5 sec/24 hours. Outstanding materials and workmanship. Overall a phenomenal value for the money. Get the Tudor and also wait for the Sub.

I like the p39 and bb54 but not enough to buy one without wishing I just bought a submariner instead. Their releases are getting better every year though, and I think it’s a matter of time before I buy one.

I have owned several Tudor models over the years, both vintage and modern. IMO, they are way overvalued and over priced. I have eyed some of the new BB releases and would consider one but at a fraction of the retail price.

I was wearing my Tudor P39 most of the day today and put my Sub back on after a shower. I love the p39. It actually fits and feels better on the wrist. The quick adjust is better than the Submariner. I like the lightness compared to the sub(106 grams vs 153 and the fully brushed bracelet and case is a plus. Also, the titanium is stronger for scratch resistance. My sub already is beat up on the clasp and the Pelagos is still looking brand new. I feel like the steel on the Rolex is so soft. The sub is always going to be s grail watch, but the Pelagos has it beat if you like titanium and less flashy. For some this is a negative, but for me it’s a plus.

Seriously? Wondering what you would compare to to come up with this idea

It's a great looking watch, but I assure you won't stop the itch to get the submariner. Been there before.
