Pelagos Ti owners. Your reviews?
Discussion
I've got one of these on order from Rolex and even though i've fully committed i'd like to know what you think of yours having worn it for a while. I'm quite excited as i think its quite a watch for the money. Tried on one a couple of weeks back and ordered straight away. I liked it more than the equivalent Sub!

I've had one about 6 months now and love it. And I'm guessing one of the few people that actually dive with one.
Lightweight, adjustable clasp, +6 seconds/day, 3D textured dial, outstanding contrast of hands against dial. I bought mine through Iconic Watches.
If I had to give a -ve, it would be that I'm not over-keen on the snowflake hour hand, but accept there's some heritage in the design.
Go for it !!

Yeah you can, I've got a Deep Sea and a GMT2C too! :-)
I've got an SD, a DSSD and am looking at a coke GMT as we speak... I only sold my ND Sub a few weeks back and have a Seiko dive watch on at the moment...I also think I may prefer the Black Bay to the Pelagos but I can't bear a watch without a date for some reason, anymore!
I really need both Tudors in my life - LOL!

I was all wound up about a barely worn 2006 Pepsi GMT before Christmas but I just couldn't do it, something didn't grab me like I expected it to when I put it on, but if it's grabbed you then good luck!!!!

It's a having a Deepsea which has stopped me getting a Pelagos. Not sure I'd wear it 
Exactly my point... Two watches almost identical in philosophy and not thaaaaaat different in look. I think my SD would get more wear...don logan said:
Oh wow, excellent taste, despite what seems like EVERYONE'S lobe for the Black Bay I wasn't a massive fan, THEN last week I saw a guy wearing one (on the strap) and I thought it looked FANTASTIC and no way could you say that they are similar so you could EASILY justify both! :-)

I just think the Black Bay is so 'pretty' where the Pelagos seems more 'functional'?!I was all wound up about a barely worn 2006 Pepsi GMT before Christmas but I just couldn't do it, something didn't grab me like I expected it to when I put it on, but if it's grabbed you then good luck!!!!
I also have a hankering for a GMT because, well, I live 6hrs TD from home and do transatlantic at least once a month so it may be quite 'useful'. Granted, it would only save me about 1 second of maths a couple of times a day
"I just think the Black Bay is so 'pretty' where the Pelagos seems more 'functional'?!"
Which is why you could justfy both!

Oh come on, you know we all use our phones to tell the time! :-)

Good feedback so far. Got a couple of weeks before mine arrives so you're keeping morale up.
If I didn't own the Rollexs, the Pelagos and Black Bay would be the first watches on my wrist! You should be very excited indeed!I have 2 (identical) phones... One se to US timezone and one to UK... So, when I travel, I need to pull the right one out of the right pocket... A GMT on the wrist would be far easier...
At least that's what I keep telling my bank account I also wanted something with colour and the BB would do that job but I need a date, I reckon!

Yeah, must get REALLY tricky with those pockets!!!!! :-)At least that's what I keep telling my bank account
I also wanted something with colour and the BB would do that job but I need a date, I reckon!I tried on a blue / black GMT and liked it way more than I expected, my regular GMT2C has a bit of a personal story so couldn't sell it to buy one! (And DEFINITELY can't justify both)

I'm not convinced by the Black Bay. It's a lovely watch to look at but just not me. Possibly, at 32 i'm still a bit young in the 'heritage' watch game. Maybe when I'm 40 or so the likes of the BB will be more to my taste and appearance. Maybe that's why i've gone for the Pelagos over the Sub this time.......just more me!
I'm only 34 - gulp!don logan said:

I hate having things in my pocket I tried on a blue / black GMT and liked it way more than I expected, my regular GMT2C has a bit of a personal story so couldn't sell it to buy one! (And DEFINITELY can't justify both)
Plus, until I quit; where do my fags go? Maybe if I lost some weight I'd have more room I don't fancy the all black or blue/red but there's just something right (to me) about the black/red combo!
They'r also pretty good value on the 2nd hand market, over here...
Honestly, yes, I'll probably cave and have a Black Bay, Pelagos and GMT2 by March, which will be my 35th, so I deserve it, right?!
So, please keep these Tudor threads coming to bankrupt me! I am meant to be saving money to come home!
