I like mine





Sent by Taptalk from my phone which rather annoyingly and randomly rotates my pictures the wrong way around whenever it takes a fancy. I am sure the damn things got a mind of its own. :-(

It's too thick for me. GMTC is the max case thickness for me.

I had one and am sorry I gave it up. A great watch and super military look.

I'd hold onto the 116600 and save for awhile and get a used Pelagos, the black dials can be found well under 3,000. Your 116600 has gone up in value since the release of the sd43.

I agree. I think the Pelagos is a great watch and a great value for what it is. I traded my LHD and Blue Pelagos toward my SD43 and have missed them ever since. I missed them so much that I went back and bought the Blue Pelagos back a couple of days ago. I would have bought the LHD but I have the SD43 and while a comparison is a stretch they both are somewhat similar. The titinum case, bracelet, clasp, dial and bezel are great. Don't forget the lume.

I agree with you; I wore mine maybe four times in a year. I can't put my finger on exactly why it was always second choice but as much as I liked it (and it took three years to pull the trigger) it just never made the cut. Sold it earlier this year and bought a Hulk instead. The Hulk is in the regular rotation.
