Anyone got one? I have the origInal rhd version plus an 1960s snowflake sub...am at Geneva airport. It’s not a cheap place to buy watches but have a lhd at £3100. Just not sure I like the fake yellowing of the usually white markers etc
Do like the red accents and the weirdness of LHD. Just not sure the faux yellowing is for me....credit card is twitching.

I'm off to Dubai next week. The LHD Pelagos is something I'm going to ponder during the holiday.... and may buy. I quite like it.

I bought one last week, lume is awesome and works well for us right wrist watch wearers.

It's quite tall and heavy compared to my BLNR but comfortable and feels decent quality

I love the look, but I wear watches on my left wrist (So the opposite of where these are designed for, slightly confusing as these are called the 'left hand drive'). Does anyone have one and wear it on the left?

It should make no odds. I'm a right hooker and wore my RHD Pelagos on the right wrist with no issue.

As above. I have a number of leftys and they all wear fine on the left wrist.
U-Boats and Grahams are leftys but cannot be worn on the right wrist without serious discomfort.

Watches with crowns and pushers on the left of the case are designed to be worn on the left wrist, the idea being that they don't dig in to the top of the hand when it's flexed upwards. It may be easier for left-handers to wear these watches on the right wrist if you wish to operate/interact with the watch however that's not the primary reason for their existence.

I have one and love it, probably going to be a keeper, but if buying now, £3,100 is not a great price as they are everywhere. I bought hoping it might be a bit of a LE

I can purchase vouchers from Ernest Jones at 12.5% discount if that’ll help

I was in EJ last month and they would have sold the watch they had in the window for £2800 so not the best price tbh.
