I recently saw this watch and am thinking about getting one if and when Tudor comes back to the US.

Does anyone own this model? If so, would you mind sharing your thoughts?

Does anyone have thoughts on Tudor in general? I would be interested in them as well.

Thanks,
Nick

 

I have seen them side by side at an AD and yes they are bigger than the older Subs. I think I prefer the Black Bay over the Pelagos and the vintage looking strap is a winner. I am not too fond of the titanium bracelet on the Pelagos. It's going to be a scratch magnet.

 

What`s about this?

 

The Heritage Black Bay is really nice too. I love the strap. Is that the aged leather that you can get instead of the steel bracelet?

 

Yes it is!

That is awesome!

Thanks for sharing

Now I want both

 

The Pelagos is a great watch. I've had mine for a couple of months, and thoroughly enjoy(ed) it. Being the flipper I am, it's going back to its original owner later this week!

 

Thanks for the feedback

 

In general Tudor makes very nice watches. Not for sale in the US for now, but of course they are available in Canada. They use ETA movements that have been modified by someone for Tudor. The modifications include decoration, changes to shock protection, and removal of the Etachron system in favour of regulating pins.

Case work is quite good as you would expect from Rolex. Nice watches overall, but not exactly bargains IMO. Just like with Rolex, I prefer vintage models...

Thanks Al, I appreciate the info and the pic

 

Here is my Pelagos, just picked it up a week ago. Love it! Especially the lume at night is bright as hell.

 

Beautiful

 

Purposeful no non-sense looking watch. The chapter ring with cut-outs for the luminous markers is very Seiko Orange Monster - and that's a good thing, because if there's one thing the Monsters do right it's lume.

 

Agreed; they also did a good job on the lume for the Heritage Black Bay...
