The more I think about it, the more I like the Pelagos. I'm apparently one of the few that likes titanium in a large watch, I like the hands and dial markers, I like the He release valve, and I'm very intrigued by the bracelet. I've mentioned in another thread that I'm not crazy about the movement (already have it in 2 other much more affordable watches), but I won't go there now.

The size concerns me somewhat, though. I've seen the photos comparing the Black Bay to a Sub (pre-ceramic), and the size difference is much larger than I thought. For me, the Sub is about as perfectly sized as a diver can get (small wrist). The BB looks like it would be pushing it. If the Pelagos is much bigger, that might be a deal breaker.
