Blue Pelagos beats all the Rolex Sub models in the lume, power reserve, and depth rating.

I like the idea of two watches but I've tried on a Blue Pelagos with the new in house movement and I'm not impressed. I've commented on this before but the crown feels like it's not well engineered, doesn't screw in correctly - maybe even fully for water tightness, and feels very rough when winding it. The closest AD to where I work has had a blue Tudor for about a month, this highly demanded, very good looking watch isn't selling because it feels nowhere near the quality of a Rolex, or even less expensive Tudors. I'd buy a red Black Bay before the Pelagos. Definitely thoroughly check out the Tudor to be sure you are comfortable with this, others here have commented on the same thing so I don't think it's just this one watch. Maybe give them a year or two to improve the new movement. So as you are considering the Pelagos in this I have to say skip it and the Nomos and get the SD.
