There's always original black and LHD available.

The blue is distinctive, no question. I suspect that, like a lot things about this hobby, I'll come to accept and embrace what I once disliked or failed to understand.

The black is better looking in the metal than it is in photos but is still a little "meh" to me, and one thing I won't change my mind about is the LHD's lume color.

Hi all! I'm currently thinking about adding a Pelagos to the collection. Two things I've heard are that the case scratches very easily, so wanted to hear feedback on that. Of course, scratches are common, but is the Ti case more susceptible? Also, hear that the bracelet catches wrist hair. Can owners confirm/deny? Thank you!!

I love the Pelgaos, LHD in particular. In fact, surprised by how much I like it relative to other, more expensive divers. Here's my experience -

1. It doesn't scratch any more or less than a steel diver. Doesn't really show scratches any more or less than steel either; perhaps slightly less given the matte nature of the titanium, but I'm not really examining it too much. I can't say this for certain, but I believe I'll be less likely to ding or dent the titanium LHD relative to my steel divers, but that's not yet been an issue so I can't confirm. I do wear the LHD, don't baby it, but also don't use it abusively.

2. I have fairly hairy arms, and have not experienced any issues with arm hair getting caught on the Pelagos or any other watch.

The Pelagos is all around awesome: comfortable, accurate, consistent, a little more subdued relative to steel Rolex divers, and every bit as robust. Good luck.

I agree w/ the Captain. My Pelagos clasp [stainless steel] has more light scratches while the bracelet [Ti] doesn't show any yet.

Also, the center links are hinged at both ends [unlike typical oyster style bracelets] allowing them to contour to the wrist. The light weight also add to the overall comfort.

The Pelagos is a cut above other divers IMHO.

That blue is sizzling (in an appropriately understated Pelagos way!).

It's like dropping a cool mint every time you look at it. Tudor nailed that blue.

I don't baby my watches, I can say that I do everything with them.

This summer my Pelagos was with me while trekking, snorkeling, swimming, playing with the waves (and we had big waves this Summer on vacation); it hit the sea ground many times, the bracelet was always full of sand.

With that said, the case is still immaculate and the bracelet shows the usual marks compatible with the usual desk diving activity. As DP said before me, the SS clasp is more scratched than the Ti bracelet.

The blue is stunning, clean looking, and clear. All blues are not created equal and I appreciate Tudor changing things up a bit.

Gorgeous! Enjoy!

I missed my old Blue so much I added it back into the fold recently. Wore it yesterday, on the strap, and wearing the LHD today. I'm in Pelagos heaven.

I received my first tudor 2 days ago , I've had a few decent watches but this is my highest quality one so far. I've normally found a small issue with every watch I've had but so far this seems perfect ! Looks so cool.

Only thing i would say is i have 8.5 inch wrists and i have all the links in and the spring adjustment on so it might not suit someone with bigger wrists than this. Although I do wear it a bit low and loose!
