New Tudor Pelagos Destro - Yes or no?

[WAK4]

Ok folks...so we have a thread leading up to today's reveal, and now some offshoots are popping up. Figured a poll would be interesting to measure out the thoughts on it.

I myself am a bit intrigued...first said, damn, a left handed model...not for me. Then I'm thinking if my AD got one in today, I may have to figure out a time to go check it out. I've never tried on a left handed watch so no idea if it'd be something I'd like.

Admit I like the bit of red in there, something many of us would love to see on a Sub or SD.

Thoughts?

I like the red- it tones down the five lines of text and makes it a contender for me.

And when is the last time a high-end maker even offered a destro??? Not since the 70's I think! It is a milestone watch.

The burning question is: all red date wheel or a roulette?

[AU_911tt]

Date wheel is roulette from what I have seen in pictures.

It's roulette Pick Davesw put up had a black date. Look like even in red and odd in black. That's kinda cool!

Oh man, I may have to change my vote.

Depends on what you define as High-End... Panerai makes destros.

The Omega Ploprof was destros also, I believe.

Panerai produces them on the reg. I'm not sure if you would consider them high end, but I would and at the very least I'd consider their in-house models on equal grounds with a Tudor.

Just phoned my AD they should be having one in tomorrow for me to look at I am the first to call about it so am first on the "list"

I will be awaiting a phone call to pop down and have a look.

Nice...my AD said they may not see one before year end unless there is a known sale. Oh well...figure even if I want it I'd want to know how the market was going and what kind of price to pay.

Not for me but kudos to Tudor for spicing it up.

X2 Tudor is bringing excitement back to the brand another step in the right direction.

Exactly how I feel. I won't buy one, but I love that Tudor is doing cool stuff like this. Tudor is by far the most exciting brand out there right now, in my opinion.

Is it my imagination, or is the date wheel the same creamy color as the lume?

Date wheel seems creamy to me as well.

[watchwatcher]

It's a definite maybe for me.

i like it, i would probably purchase one if i hadnt picked up a rolex just before the price increase

just a random question for right handed guys...would you still wear this watch on your left or move to the right arm?

I would wear it on my left.

Put me down for like it need to see it.

I do adore the pelagos in general though...

IF I got one, I think I would keep it on my left hand. Might actually make a good work watch as the crown guard won't jab into my hand when it's bent in awkward positions, something I have a problem with occasionally.

[ROGERB]

As a lefty who has mostly worn a watch on the left I see it as more of an upgraded and stylised model and I admire Tudor for having the cojones to release it!

I'd still wear on my left. Since I refuse to let go of my mechanical watches for a smart watch, from time to time I wear a Samsung Gear Fit on my right and it usually annoys me. Can't imagine this would be any better for me

[Beller]

How many of the limited edition will be made. I haven't seen that anywhere

From what I have read, it is numbered, but not limited.

[KBM]

I like it! Super cool piece. Gotta see it first, though. Does the Pelagos bracelet taper?

[Kevin of Larchmont]

Too many lines on th dial.

You missed an option - I like it, but would never buy one.

This is the one I would have picked!! I think it looks great but cannot imagine I would choose to wear it ahead of my Red Sub.

[SearChart]

I like it
