Which tudor to get?

Im torn between the pelagos and the THC (Black/Grey). Somehow the pelagos wears big on me whereas the THC seems fine on me even though both are identical in size, but the pelagos seems more versatile and classy as compared to the sporty THG. Lastly, which will compliment my daily beater (IWC pilot chrono) most? TIA!

I would think the pelagos or the bb would be a better complement to the iwc. IMO.

Can't go wrong with either choice. However, I'm a big fan of the THC.

Oh no, wait! Did you?

I like the black bay.
I would like the black bay even more if it had square indexes.
And a light blue bezel...
And matching dial...

I own the Pelagos and owned the THC till just trading it off. For me the decision was based on practicality. While I liked the THC, for what I use watches for, the Pelagos made more sense. I'm an impromptu timer of things and the biggest annoyance factor for me when it came to the THC was having to unwind the pushers to use them. Leaving them unwound is not an option for me as I'm also an impromptu dipper of hands in some form of water.

Based on this plus the fact that the bracelet of the Pelagos fit my wrist better due to the clasp resulted in me saying good buy to the THC.
