It's just no use trying to understand The Brice. :)
Maybe he has short term memory loss like the guy from Memento and honestly can't remember he's owned this watch 10 times already.
Kickass reference.
Gracias.

Maybe he could tattoo "you've already owned the Pelagos" on his arm.

Great mini review - I agree with everything you said. Can't wait to score another one as soon as the watch fund builds back up. Classic piece

Nice review - D :thumbsup:

I'd love a Pelagos at some point..... the lumed bezel is killer!!

Have you tried it on a Zulu / NATO or is it strictly a bracelet watch for you?

In person at the gtg it reminded me of the black bay in the respect that its way better in person than pics can truly show...

No, I haven't and probably never will. This is a bracelet watch to me.

It looks killer on Isofrane too and is super comfortable.

So, after nearly three weeks of continuous wear, this watch is going to be sold. It's a lovely piece, but ultimately I think it's a bit too big...not for me, but for what it is. It's not much shorter than a Kobold SEAL. It's length and width seem too extreme for the homage it pays to Tudor Subs of yesteryear. Although the SubC ND had enhanced size, it's still smaller than the Pelagos. That said, this is not a substitute for the 114060, I thought it could be. The 114060 is more versatile; metal and size

Good comparo shots, not mine.
I love Pelagos chunky yet manageable size but SubC could be more versatile depending on the wrist size

I had to fight very hard this week to fight the urge to make a bold move to get a Pelagos. I love that watch.

It is a much different watch, especially the way that it wears. I like mine, but prefer my SubC...but here is a shot that may help you decide :grin:

I think Tudor hit it out of the park with the Pelagos. As a modern diver it fits all requirements while looking traditional in a Post-war dive watch way. "Rotor Self-Winding" is one more retro design feature. My sole complaint is lack of a120- click bezel.

Why 120?

BTW - The bezel is rock solid. Positive clicks and NO play

I often time things at work from the moment and need the half click. It's more precise.
only accurate watches are interesting
