Hey everyone! Hope y'all are staying safe and healthy through these crazy times.

I recently bought a LHD Pelagos (around two weeks ago) and just got back from picking up my new BB58 Blue today. It really is such a fantastic watch. The feel is just like a non ceramic sub. If you have not seen the blue in person, it's definitely a beautiful grayish shade of flat blue; Fell in love with it instantly. I feel like both of these watches will have a their own unique spot in Tudor history, with the Pelagos being the first titanium watch built by the brand, individually numbered, red text on the dial, left handed version. The color on the hour markers is just stunning, very creamy in some angles.

What do you think should go in the missing slot?

All the best,
-AC

Congrats!!!

How about a GMT or a dress piece or a chronograph? From the looks of your collection you dive a lot and then work next to magnetic fields

Thanks, man! Hahahaha never been diving, but I wash my hands regularly with the watches on!

I´ve been struggling to decide. I like the S&G BB Chrono, what are your thoughts on that one?

I think Omega makes some killer chronographs. What about a Speedmaster Professional?

I've given it some serous thought, but have never been able to pull the trigger on one. I guess I should go take a look at them and see how they wear!

Thank you, Adam!! I trust you're doing great, it's been a while! Almost done with college now and have recently been obsessing over a few watches. Let's hope there's more to come in the not so distant future. All the best to you, bud!

Congrats, I think a fluted bezel datejust on a jubilee or a Harrods Green Black Bay would fit in well.

Lovely collection...congrats. I would suggest either a GMT or Chronograph for that last spot.

For the GMT, obviously a Rolex GMT/GMT II or an Explorer II
For the Chronograph, Omega Speedmaster
