New Pelagos

UPS delivered this little guy last night. So far, I am a fan!





I had some trouble with the fit of the first gen Pelagos and sold it after speed-dating it for two months. I always found the bracelet *just* too loose or *just* too tight, but couldn't find my happy zone with it. The slightly deeper case back on the 25600TB seems to have remedied that problem for me.

I was worried I might not enjoy reading the Gettysburg Address every time I looked at the bottom of the dial on this model, but so far, it seems to disappear for me while wearing it.

I love the depth of color on its blue dial and bezel. Hopefully, my love will last past the honeymoon phase on this one, but I am definitely digging it to this point!

Looks great. Only one more line of text than the sub. No biggie. Enjoy it!

Exactly my thoughts...it's but one line longer than the phone book present on the dial of my Daytona/Sea-Dwellers/Subs, etc. 😂

Congrats on the new watch, now try to get us a decent wrist shot! It's impossible to tell what's going on in your photos.

Congrats! The extra text on the Pelagos wouldn't bother me. Looks great on you.
