I have both watches (the Pelagos is on it's way thanks to OCRolexguy!). I generally prefer to keep one of each type of watch - GMT, diver watch, etc. so that means one would have to go. I like the clean look and history of the sub but the Pelagos adds the date feature I've been missing while retaining that simple look along with a variety of features that make this a true tool watch.

Which would you choose? I may just keep both for the variety :).

Chainring · 27 August 2013, 02:46 PM

Don't let either of them go. They are different enough to warrant owning both.

HDHNTER · 27 August 2013, 02:49 PM

Once the Pelagos arrives the decision will likely be a good bit easier.

bry · 27 August 2013, 02:50 PM

I'd keep both!

kilyung · 27 August 2013, 03:16 PM

Pelagos. The bracelet is much better.

HDHNTER · 27 August 2013, 03:20 PM

The bracelet, the clasp, the bezel & action, the lume, the size, the proportions, the 3D effect of the dial, the snow flake hands..... the list goes on & on.

Jason71 · 27 August 2013, 03:27 PM

keep both. Only buy.......do not sell or trade.

busytimmy · 27 August 2013, 03:45 PM

I'd keep both in this instance. They're different enough.

skprd13 · 27 August 2013, 03:52 PM

The pics I have seen of the Pelagos looks amazing! I can only imagine in person just how beautiful the watch really is. If anything keep the Pelagos. Just my humble opinion. Let us know your decision though OK!

Gerardus · 27 August 2013, 04:30 PM

Both!

I usually opt for the choice with the date function.

In this case though, I think the 2 line classic sub would be too hard for me to give up.

travisb · 27 August 2013, 06:46 PM

Pelagos.

If you said you already have a 114060 then I might vote differently.

Darlinboy · 27 August 2013, 08:12 PM

Not sure why you'd want to get rid of the Pelagos, given you've just bought it.

If you must have only one diver, keep them both for a while, then decide.

Rags · 27 August 2013, 08:35 PM

I would keep both. If you must have a date pick up a 16610 sub.

cop414 · 27 August 2013, 09:34 PM

That's a tough one, if possible I'd keep both. If not possible wait for the new Tudor to arrive, wear both for a while and then decide. Good luck.

beshannon · 27 August 2013, 09:53 PM

Since I have yet to see a Tudor in person it is tough for me to give an opinion.

I do know that I would not let go of my 14060M

mike · 27 August 2013, 10:19 PM

I understand the one watch for an activity thing, but perhaps a point to ponder is the differences between the two references that compiment each other.

Maybe think more along the lines of Sub/Sea-dweller, Ti vs. Steel, etc...

impalass · 27 August 2013, 11:19 PM

I think they're definitely different enough to warrant keeping both.

If I was forced to choose it would come down to old school verses modern, high tech titanium, super lume including the bezel, raw tool look, all do it for me.

Knappo 1307 · 27 August 2013, 11:58 PM

14060m

applebook · 28 August 2013, 03:35 AM

Sub.

Presa canary · 28 August 2013, 03:53 AM

I'd keep the sub

watchwatcher · 28 August 2013, 04:13 AM

Both. Or at least wait until you can compare them back to back...or wrist to wrist in this case.
