It's New..........It's Blue.........

And now it's mine!

After test driving the Tudor Pelagos blue in Maui I knew I had to have one. Returning from vacation I stopped down at my local AD. Hard to believe I've never done that before. They had one and we were able to come to an agreement. My first Tudor AD purchase.

I'll be adding more pics and observations after I have some time to experience this amazing piece of technology.

What a beauty. The Pelagos comes with the extra set of rubber straps right?
Must look amazing on these.
Let’s see more pictures please.
Congratulations.

I am very interested to hear your thoughts on the bracelet's micro-adjustment system.

Congratulations on the new watch.

Congratulations on a fine choice

Had my LHD for over 2 years now and still enjoy wearing it. The bracelet is great and the micro adjust excellent.

Huge congrats, Dan. The Pelagos blue is a truly great watch. Colorful, lighthearted, and fun - if a watch can be these things, lol. And it's ridiculously accurate. You're going to love this watch. Enjoy thoroughly. Mine says hello. Best regards, -Rick.

Thanks again, everybody!

Here are some quick pics & observations:
-LOVE the blue, Tudor NAILED the color. It's bold without being over the top or obnoxious.
-LOVE the blue lume, especially on the bezel. Every since owning the Ball Aero GMT, I've come to really appreciate bezel lume.
-LOVE the matte ceramic bezel, polished ceramic leaves me cold.
-The clasp is an engineering work of art.
-LOVE the weight of Ti, my first titanium watch.
-LOVE the easy to read, highly dimensional and detailed dial.
-The overall size is perfect for my 7.25" wrist and 6'4" frame.

This watch has a youthful exuberance and bold attitude. Yet somehow it appears relaxed at the same time, much like the perfect vacation. The additional blue rubber strap will be a welcome change when the occasion dictates.

This completes my modern Tudor Land, Sea, & Air collection [more on that later].

Tudor has done it again. It's the brand that delivers the most for me over the last decade and I look forward to what Tudor releases next.
