Incoming Tudor
On a fairly grey November day and first day of a week of annual leave, sandwiched between a tip run appointment and an appointment to have ovens cleaned, thought I'd add a splash of colour and clicked and collected via my AD.

Love the blue, and wanted to wear it away on the rubber strap since my other two are on bracelets.

Need to add a chrono now to complete the land, sea, air trinity. Have a lab, sea, air spin on it for now.

Congrats! The blue Pelagos is 1/3 of my Tudor trilogy. The color is about as good as it gets. A great addition to any collection.

Congrats! This is such a killer-watch, I wish they made it in 39mm for the smaller wristed gentlemen :)

Congrats on a great acquisition. It's a fun, colorful watch and I personally really like the unique visual interaction between the blue dial & bezel and the TI bracelet. Enjoy your new Pelagos, it's a great watch. Mine says hello.

Can already tell that this will get at least equal wrist time with the other two. And totally agree on the colour. Leapt out of the window the first time I saw one in the AD.

Thank you. Kind of done it the opposite way to how most would be able to now. BLNR first without purchase history almost 3 years ago to the week, then Milgauss and today the Pelagos, all from same AD.

Not sure would be able to do it that way around now without a purchase history.

Thanks everyone for the kind words and so glad to see so many others enjoying their own Pelagos too.

I can already tell I'm going to get a heck of a lot of enjoyment from this watch.

One thing I have already noticed is that unless I'm looking at it, I barely notice it's on.

Best guess is that there's less movement on the rubber strap than bracelets. I've not regularly worn a watch on a rubber strap (my dad's old TAG F1 which I still own and wear occasionally as a memory of him) since getting the BLNR.

Really is incredibly comfortable.
