If the pelagos wasn't so big this would be on my wrist

I like it a lot. Better lookng than the SubC, IMO.

Some wear their watch loose, more like a bracelet. I don't understand it, especially in a watch meant for activity, but to each his/her own.

AK797 · 18 November 2016, 09:45 AM

Like the red accents, destroy not for me tho.

Thisdale · 18 November 2016, 09:53 AM

What is the Destro's Ref number btw?

Well, a watch on a bracelet is a bracelet.

I don't understand why people wear bracelet watches tight.

As for the Pelagos, I'm not interested at this time in another diver, but I certainly do like both the Pelagos and the Black Bay.

As for where the crown in placed, it's not an issue for me.

I don't use the crown with the watch on my wrist anyway.

osamu · 18 November 2016, 10:19 AM

I really like it, but I just feel like the red text and aged lume would be a better fit on something from the heritage line.

I think it's my favorite Pelagos availbale, and if I were in the market for a Pelagos already, this would be the one. It isn't really different enough for the Pelagos to jump up on my list of must buy, but I've always toyed with the idea of picking up a Pelagos someday.

Still think I would prefer the black bay black, and if I were to buy a Pelagos, I still might just save some money and buy the cleaner 2-liner.

Rags · 18 November 2016, 10:32 AM

According to the poll this Tudor is a flop..

emersm · 18 November 2016, 10:34 AM

IMO, the dial looks cheap and "plastic...ish"

Old Expat Beast · 18 November 2016, 10:38 AM

Red text+creamy lume+roulette wheel should have a cyclops, IMO. I would probably fit one if (or when) I bought this.

the_natural · 18 November 2016, 10:46 AM

I'm coming around since this morning. It's growing on me...

wewu1688 · 18 November 2016, 10:51 AM

I really like it and being that I wear my watches on my right hand, I am very interested. Only thing is I'm afraid that it'll wear big on my 6.5" wrists. Therefore, probably have to see it in person before I commit.

It is a 42mm. Bit big.

Jakx · 18 November 2016, 11:27 AM

Tudor continues to be the innovative arm of Rolex S.A.
the red line/date and the buff hour markers/hands really help the Pelagos' otherwise monochromatic look.

exactly what I said in the other. I would have jumped on that

Boothroyd · 18 November 2016, 12:31 PM

No comments about the 5 lines of type. People seem to have gotten used to it--remember it was a big issue when they moved from the ETA to the in-house version.

Not for me, but good on Tudor for freshening up the lineup mid-year after Basel.

JP(Canada) · 18 November 2016, 12:40 PM

I voted 'other'. I don't 'have to have it', but it's an attractive and purpose driven watch, IMO, and it'll be sought after in 20 or 30 years, I'm sure.

I didn't read all the posts, so forgive me if this was already mentioned, but I recall James Dowling owning a Sea-Dweller, I believe it was a 16660 that was that way from the factory in that configuration, years ago now. It may have been a prototype, or something, I just don't recall the details now.

It's unique and there aren't too many 'destro' divers out there, just a small hand full of generally well regarded brands have made them this way.

That's never going to go away so may as well get used to it.

nick c · 18 November 2016, 01:57 PM

People going to buy it looks great

southcarolina1801 · 18 November 2016, 02:08 PM

Its not a bad looking watch but I agree with previous comments, the Pelagos in general looks very plasticky. That combined with the fake patina just looks kind phony to me.

subtona · 18 November 2016, 02:28 PM

Looks great, however I have no desire for a destro.

Ticknaway · 18 November 2016, 02:29 PM

Not really sure, I'll have to see it in person

Armyguy03 · 18 November 2016, 02:54 PM

Looks great. I like the vanilla/beige lume color on bezel and matching dial, a nice change from chicklet white, 42 mm but mostly titanium so likely a nice weight. Love the red accents! Lume shots look really good.

pacific17 · 18 November 2016, 03:38 PM

i like it, maybe in the future if the price is right.

cuhrioso · 18 November 2016, 04:21 PM

Not bad,
but it would be a better move to reduce size of the watch to 40mm. Sadly, I'm affraid this won't be possible because the movement size.

Star Ferry · 18 November 2016, 04:25 PM

Darn. Explorer II Polar and now this -- both great looking watches, but both too big for my 17 cm wrist
