Recent member incoming (Tudor)

Just picked up my first Tudor today from my AD. After much back and forth in chose it over the current Seamaster 300M. I’m a longtime Omega guy, but I already have a modern Planet Ocean and Aqua Terra, and vintage Speedy Pro. Figured I’d spice my collection up. Didn’t hurt that the Pelagius was also several hundred dollars cheaper than the Seamaster.

While I was there I also put my name on a list for an Explorer which I hope to have in time to celebrate my 40th in the spring. The AD though he would be getting a few between now and then. Looking forward to participating in the forum, and eventually posting one of these incoming threads for my first Rolex.

Here are a few more pictures (but not necessarily better) from my first couple of days with the Pelagos. So far loving it. It’s actually a bigger watch than my Planet Ocean, but so light it wears easily.
