Thanks everyone, I really appreciate the nice feedback!
Quote:
1) Titanium - Wow, is this watch light and balanced! The Ti color is perfect, since it gives a matte undercover finish that balances the dial. 2) Dial - They did a great job with recessing the hour markers into the angled rehault, which makes the dial appear magnified at first glance. 3) Bracelet / clasp - Again, very light and balanced. I find it difficult to compare modern bracelets, since many companies are doing a great job in this area and they all feel great while being different (if that makes any sense). The bracelet hardly tapers, so it's full width all the way around, which gives a modern look. The clasp is great with 3 mico adjustments (similar to glidelock), but has a fourth setting that expands and contracts using two springs. They still include the divers extension too. The rubber strap feels super soft, but I haven't tried it yet. 4) Lume - Never have I had a watch glow in the day time like this. The watch will glow moving from a well lit room to a dim room... very nice to see! Thanks again and let me know if you have any questions |

Congrats, nice story.
I tried it last week, also if I'm interested just in the Black Bay (that unfortunately was not available at the AD shop ... ) Ciao Engi |

It's really not bad, and the lightness of the Ti makes it less obtrusive. I am selling all my 42mm+ watches, but hope to eventually get another Pelagos. Fantastic looking and feeling watch.

I like the idea that people can now buy a BNIB Tudor from an AD, even though they are not in the U.S. Enjoy, my Tudor is a conversation piece, and I really enjoy wearing it as well...,
