I've been wanting one for a while now and the opportunity presented itself. My new baby landed this morning!

I guess you guys didn't manage to talk me out of it

looks good!

L.J. · 23 June 2017, 02:12 AM

Beautiful !!! Big Congratulations and wear it in good health always !!!

I own a Black Bay and wear it exclusively on textile straps (not comfy on the 22mm SS bracelet for me)...

I wonder if the Pelagos would wear nice on my 6.5 wrist

what's your wrist size ?

RichM · 23 June 2017, 02:20 AM

I wonder so myself !! Small wrist. Own a sub. It fits pretty comfy with the oyster clasp. Thinking about picking one of these up since I am a left handed. Wrong wrister and would like to see how it feels to have a watch the "right" way around lol

My wrist is 6.5" flat and it is very comfortable and the lugs conform quite well to the inner and outer wrists. There's no unsightly "lug overhang" as I experience with, for example the similarly-sized Steinhart Ocean 500 Titanium. That watch's straighter lugs create more gapping. I have the bracelet set up so it's balanced on the 6 and 12 sides and the LHD sits well and self centers.

For such a solid, forceful design, it blends to the wrist exceptionally well. And of course, being titanium, it is light and maneuverable. If it were steel, I'd consider a NATO or rubber strap but as it is, it works wonderfully.

Yep...same here my Subc LV, my 3 weeks old SD 116600 wear great thanks to Glidelock AND 20 mm wide bracelet...where as myTudor BB lacks fine adjustment (only 3 holes on clasp...no half link available for the bracelet)...so I wear it exclusively on textile...

Perhaps the titanium and different clasp will help make it lighter and comfy...if it's not too big for our wrists.

ndrewh · 23 June 2017, 02:59 AM

Good point. I totalled ruled out the glide lock on why my sub fits quite nicely I'll have to try the Pelagius at the dealer

I've since added some fore and aft shots to give you a sense of how it sits on the wrist. Cheers!

Thanks again...Much appreciated !!! Gotta love the cold industrial 100% function oriented look...balanced with a warmer dial...with the red lettering as a nod to the toolwatches of the Rolex & Tudor House glorious past...plus the 9'o'clock crown twist

Great reference for sure !!!

Indeed. Those are precisely the reasons I find the LHD so much more compelling that the Pelagos Black/Blue. Compared to those other references, the LHD seems less...clinical? More inviting!
