Tudor 79220 R or Pelagos 25500 TN

Which of these two Tudor would like to have and which of them believe will hold more value?

I love the look of the Pelagos! I don't know about which holds the best value, but my pick would be the Pelagos!

I would rather have the pelagos, and I'm pretty sure it will also hold it's value better. I absolutely love the black bay, I just think the red bezel is well, red.... I see the 25500 holding up better. IMO of course

Go with what you like. I believe that the value it holds to it's wearer is much more important than the value of re-sale.

Tried on a Pelagos over the weekend. Quite surprised to see it was 42mm in size. I would have guessed 40mm. Great looking watch even more so in person.

I think the Pelagos is a better choice in the long run.

Pelagos is a beautiful watch. I have been waiting on the fence for it to come down in price in secondary market. Looks like $3000-3200 might be the magic number even after them coming to the US.

I went with the Black Bay because I thought it looked better but the Pelagos is growing on me. I think they'll both dip in price as the secondary market picks up in the US but should steady out and hold their value about equally. I'm not even sure that opinion is worth $.02 but I gave it anyway.

I plan on getting one of the two.
Haven't judged first hand yet though.
Don't worry about which holds more value...

Both hark back to the snowflake, I think they will both be dominant sellers for years to come rejoice and know you can own both for the cost of a Rolex.

The Black Bay will be more valuable in the future.

It is an icon already, with classic heritage design.
