Looks good to me,I think I`ll be looking for a Tudor dealer very soon,say,within the next five minutes!

Yup I just checked for dealers and the one nearest to me is also my local Rolex shop about ten minutes up the road from here,looks like they`ll be getting a visit or a call from me sooner rather than later.

You'll need to drill out the bracelet ends to accept the beefier spring bars as well.

Not too crazy about them in my honest opinion. The hour hand I feel is quite hideous.

Love both but can only have one and it has to be the Pelagos.

I suspect a lot of MKII Kingston to be on he chopping block soon.

We need more bracelet shots of the Pelagos!





The Black Bay looks a lot more substantial in these photos...

The black bay

looks better in the live pics i have seen than in the promotional ones. Looks like it is definitely one to be seen in the flesh prior to passing judgment.

The Black Bay looks better every time I see a pic. Might need to add that in my wish list.

Holy WOW! It seems the BB is the new SD4000 The thickness is similar
I love this watch, the small coin edge bezel is exactly what it needed, the red looks like a matte finish as well.

Both have huge chamfers

Thanks Engi

They are both great, although the Pelagos is slightly more appealing to me.

As for the BB, I can see that many owners would want all three options - bracelet, leather and fabric. Hmmm... a BB with leather and fabric, a Pelagos with bracelet... that should cover it

Love the fact Tudor completes the package including strap/ bracelet options on these new models, following the lead of the Heritage chronograph.
