It’s Been A While…
…..since I purchased a Wildorf product. The last one I bought was a BLNR in November of 2015 when you could walk into a dealer and buy one. I purchased this Tudor Pelagos 25600TB today. So far I’m very pleased with it. Comfortable and easy to read. So far it seems like very good value.

Thanks everyone! 14 hours in its wonderful! I haven’t been this excited about a new watch in while. It checks all the boxes for me. I can see me thinning the herd from lack of use because of this watch. (Likely not though)

Congrats! IMO the Pelagos is the best model in the current Tudor lineup. Zero attempt at making anything faux or reaching for 'heritage'

Thank you folks. I played with the bracelet setting a bit and ended up right where I started. I think I do that with every watch…..

Very nice, I was considering the same but am leaning towards the SMP300. Enjoy it!

I had the SMP300 on rubber and ended up selling it. It was a very nice and comfortable watch but I’ve never been a sword hands guy and I found the lume on the sword hands lacking at night. The lume on the Pelagos is exceptional so I have no issues with it. I have a titanium 42mm Planet Ocean so I still have an Omega in my collection.
Don’t let my 59 year old eyes sway your opinion on a great watch!

Beautiful piece! Congrats! You can never go wrong with blue imo. I especially love the rehaut on this model, where it's cut around the indices and date window.

Thanks! I like the rehaut as well. I’ll be honeymooning with this one for a while.

Wildorf? Sounds like a cheap Chinese knock-off of a Wilsdorf product
