[QUOTE=scheneider;10094084]Pelagos is a great watch. But for the same money. Ill take the omega seamaster rubber

The problem with that is that the Pelagos is a titanium watch and it comes with a bracelet as well as the rubber strap. I feel that both are great watches and have great wrist presence.
My Seamaster versions are two tone and SS.

I am about to pull the trigger on the seamaster steel and sedna gold with blue dial. Absolutely gorgeous watch, for me Tudor can't compete against it.

Go with what sings to you, everyone is different.

In all fairness to the Tudor they are in two different price brackets especially when you mix the Sedna gold in.

Here you go. This is how I have always worn it until very recently, I purchased a leather strap for it as well. Will get a picture of that. I prefer NATO to rubber.

The 5 lines of text are not that noticeable in person, as the dial just pops and I find my self not noticing the text.
Agreed it's not noticeable at all in person. Sometimes internet photos do injustice to great watches. You get over that text real quick when it's on your wrist.

I actually found it too thick also so sold that one and got an ETA version. But as a 6'2" 180lb man I don't have the largest wrists, so everything looks big.

The current Pelagoses are in house movements. The first few years had ETS movements.

You can’t go wrong with a Pelagos. I have worn my GMT everyday for about 3 weeks. Put the Pelagos on last night and was quickly reminded of how much I love that watch!

My blue Pelagos which I gifted to my son. He put it on a digital camo rubber strap which I think looks very cool.

I had a LHD for a little while before I ultimately sold it as I thought it was too big. If they ever release a smaller one aka58 size I be all over it. I be more excited with that then a small GMT.

Correct, Blue dial has always been in house... black dial with 2 line text on lower half is ETA

That’s an awesome piece, especially seen alive. Price wise it is The Winner in every aspect! The only drawback that is reflected in price is the fact that Tudor still has no name to people, and Rolex are yet to pump it up! But undoubtedly in less than 5 year time Tudor will catch up.

Same here. Would have preferred it in steel.

I just purchased one here in the classifieds and love it. I don't have a lot of lume experience but I had a meeting today where someone turned out a couple of lights for a presentation and someone commented about my watch glowing.
