I love mine. Nothing like as shiny as under the ad lights. Looks much better in natural light. I’m wearing mine on the rubber currently. At 78 grams it’s like I’m not wearing a watch. Super comfy.
Will you sell it next year?
I prayed they would make a smaller version of the Pelagos. Could never justify the original profile. Overall I’m undecided. It’s arguably better for my wrist and proportions but after trying I didn’t feel a connection. I would much rather they design a new watch than resize their existing lineups.
Agree.
I went back this weekend to have another look (the AD owner bought one for his personal use) and still find it a bit flat.
Definitely a superb piece and an easy wear, but quite a different feel overall to the Pelagos blue I fell in love years ago as my first luxury watch.
Just completed a purchase for one, paid £300 over retail but assuming by the time I make it to the top of the waitlist there is a good chance the price will have gone up. Really looking forward to getting my hands on it, it’ll be my first titanium watch so be interested to see how comfortable it is.
Not one who likes to pay above retail myself but think you made a good choice. Titanium is awesome, I have the Zenith covergirl which is as light as a feather, the ladder bracelet helps a lot too.
Agreed, never like paying over retail but the AD I had my name down with wouldnt even tell me where on their list I was let alone give me an indication how long the wait would be. So I guessed it’ll be the new year, and with the weak pound, and the inevitable price rises each year, I took a gamble. I’ll probably get a call tomorrow saying they’ve got one

Paying 300 over retail is way better than buying into this nonsense 👎
Congrats on your recent pick up.
In a word, very.
Once you have grown accustomed to the lack of weight, I suspect you will love it. Congrats
So mine arrived, it really is very nice, very very nice. Quick take always (only been wearing it for an hour). The dial looks matte, yes it’s a bit overcast today but I really can’t see the sunray dial. Definitely a good thing. The bezel, which I was a bit nervous about, works really well, it adds a bit of contrast from the dial and so keeps the dial looking the size it should be, if that makes sense. Comfort level is great, it’s like wearing a metal bracelet but the weight of a nato. It’s also got a nice bit of jangle to it, whilst not feeling cheap.
I have the bb58, but I definitely prefer the look and fell of the 39, honeymoon I know but super happy. Feels like a modern version of the Tudor sub from yester year.
Any chance of a few pics?
