Apologies if it has been posted but in case you want to see more pics of the Pelagos:

http://forums.watchuseek.com/f23/my-...cs-727526.html

The more I see of this watch the more I like it

...it's a refreshing departure from the half a million bucks Rolex are charging for an entry model Sub

Excellent! Thanks for posting the link!

Longhorn · 31 July 2012, 01:17 AM

I'd like to see a comparison shot of the Pelagos and the DSSD. It looks too big for me.

Blueinsert · 31 July 2012, 01:55 AM

Plain beautiful, nice "neo vintage style", a bit pricey, but a great watch.

azguy · 31 July 2012, 02:01 AM

Aside form the case, lugs and crown guards, I like it

patek.wis · 31 July 2012, 02:26 AM

I wish someone would measure the thickness

handsfull · 31 July 2012, 02:50 AM

Wow! Way bigger than I thought, not for wrists under 7" IMO....similar to the DSSD.

Now I'm highly curious to see the black bay next to the pelagos.....

The Waddler · 31 July 2012, 11:11 AM

Exactly what I was afraid of. Oh well

Mickey® · 31 July 2012, 12:27 PM

So sad...missed the mark on this one. Could have been classic but...Oh well.
Way too tall..
And that clasp! THICK!

Watchflair · 31 July 2012, 12:33 PM

What's the price point vs the Sub? Is it worth the money in comparison

As we know it is not for sale in the USA but MSRP when converted is just under $4k US Dollars

malarky_hk · 31 July 2012, 02:50 PM

Great looking watch. Can't wait to try one on when it finally arrives in HK. But not likely to pick up on new.

What size wrist do you have?

It's not mine...unfortunately

I do not see it as being overly large, especially being Ti it should be of very nice weight on the wrist

You can buy one now from the boards for 6.5K!

Auragentum · 31 July 2012, 08:11 PM

The Pelagos is a very nice tool watch. Love the no nonsense design, lume on the bezel and special clasp.

If they made one in 40mm or below I would buy it in a heart beat.

How · 31 July 2012, 08:12 PM

I want one...

Thanks for posting!

wokafu · 31 July 2012, 08:29 PM

looks nicer than i thought....

cparks555 · 31 July 2012, 09:36 PM

I like it, something about the clasp just seems wrong to me though. Not really feeling the open line down the middle of the clasp or having springs in there, looks like it would collect all kinds of nasty stuff.

Psmith · 1 August 2012, 12:10 AM

Not the prettiest of clasps, but highly functional no doubt

The watch is so matte overall as to have a military/tactical look

A good diver's watch I'm sure, even if (like other dive watches) it is only used as a backup

Dr. Robert · 1 August 2012, 05:59 AM

It would look great on an Isofrane strap.

psv · 1 August 2012, 06:10 AM

My only concern is the thickness, it seems to have taken its design cue from DSSD.

Agreed, the thickness (and the clasp for that matter) kill it for me. Still, nice tool watch for someone may actually dives, or someone that likes oversized cases.

gregvisser · 1 August 2012, 09:21 AM

I might be wrong, but from what I've read the DSSD is 17.7 mm thick and the Pelagos is 13.8 mm thick. If this is right, that is a big difference and they will certainly not wear the same.

Do you have a source for the thickness? Tudor has not published thickness so I'd be interested

In the same thread. The OP claims to have measured it.

This is about 1 mm taller than a Sub C.

Greg

buddy13 · 1 August 2012, 06:05 PM

This wears almost the same as a SubC. Slightly more comfortable cos it is slightly lighter and better balanced to be honest.

It wars MUCH better than a DSSD and it is not quite as thick (I had them both in front of me at the AD yesterday)

The bracelet is very nice and contours very well. The clasp is solid too and feels good, I dont like the centre cut out though

.

All in all it is a qaulity watch and at a more approachable price than it's Rolex siblings

Nice, that clasp is awesome!
