I have the Black Bay Stainless and the S&G model, I love them. My next one will be the Pelagos. Enjoy!

The north flag was my gateway into Tudor. It’s a stunning watch and now that I get the Rolex/Tudor strategy and am open to the amazing quality of Tudor watches, the pelagos is next on my list.

My question is how will that 42mm beast fit on my skinny 6.25 to 6.5” wrists?

It’s such a cool piece. Congrats!

I’ve admired them in the store window. I have second guessed myself around whether I’d overlook it for my Rolex. Many are stung that they truly stand in their own. HK has a good supply in AD’s as far as I could tell. Despite what some may think (including me previously) they are not inexpensive and feel like a substantial piece.

Nice pick up.

So it's not that thick, right ?

Congratulations! I know the feeling, I have a few Rolex models that I cherish, but just picked up the Tudor Pelagos Blue a week ago after admiring/researching for a long time.

Great watch! Congratulations!

I love mine, it is a much easier day to day watch to wear, than my bluesy.
The only reason I would get rid of it would be to switch to a black Pelagos, or maybe the GMT? But then again that's also somewhat blue, and I have far too many blue watches. :(

Finally saw one in the metal and man does it look good. Only issue is the novel on the dial, if it had two lines of text it would be a world beater.

I love this watch and have tried it on several times. It is so light and comfy with the titanium bracelet. Plus I absolutely love how the bezel is lumed too.

Huge congratulations as many have said what a great summer watch.

Love it! The only downside to these is all the dial text, I prefer the older ETA versions for this reason. Would love to do an ETA dial swap to an in-house movement.

OMG, hilarious! Yes, it’s a bit text-heavy on the dial, but I love mine as all of the other benefits far outweigh to me
