Ok folks...so we have a thread leading up to today's reveal, and now some offshoots are popping up. Figured a poll would be interesting to measure out the thoughts on it.

I myself am a bit intrigued...first said, damn, a left handed model...not for me. Then I'm thinking if my AD got one in today, I may have to figure out a time to go check it out. I've never tried on a left handed watch so no idea if it'd be something I'd like.

Admit I like the bit of red in there, something many of us would love to see on a Sub or SD.

Thoughts?

I like the red- it tones down the five lines of text and makes it a contender for me.

And when is the last time a high-end maker even offered a destro??? Not since the 70's I think! It is a milestone watch.

The burning question is: all red date wheel or a roulette?

AU_911tt · 18 November 2016, 12:31 AM

Date wheel is roulette from what I have seen in pictures.

Roulette per the Tudor site

cdmorenot · 18 November 2016, 12:33 AM

Not for me but kudos to Tudor for spicing it up.

It's roulette Pick Davesw put up had a black date. Look like even in red and odd in black. That's kinda cool!

watchwatcher · 18 November 2016, 12:37 AM

It's a definite maybe for me.

Oh man, I may have to change my vote.

Depends on what you define as High-End... Panerai makes destros.

i like it, i would probably purchase one if i hadnt picked up a rolex just before the price increase

just a random question for right handed guys...would you still wear this watch on your left or move to the right arm?

I would wear it on my left.

Put me down for like it need to see it.

I do adore the pelagos in general though...

Beller · 18 November 2016, 12:48 AM

How many of the limited edition will be made. I haven't seen that anywhere

IF I got one, I think I would keep it on my left hand. Might actually make a good work watch as the crown guard won't jab into my hand when it's bent in awkward positions, something I have a problem with occasionally.

ROGERB · 18 November 2016, 12:53 AM

As a lefty who has mostly worn a watch on the left I see it as more of an upgraded and stylised model and I admire Tudor for having the cojones to release it!

I'd still wear on my left. Since I refuse to let go of my mechanical watches for a smart watch, from time to time I wear a Samsung Gear Fit on my right and it usually annoys me. Can't imagine this would be any better for me

From what I have read, it is numbered, but not limited.

KBM · 18 November 2016, 01:05 AM

I like it! Super cool piece. Gotta see it first, though. Does the Pelagos bracelet taper?

Kevin of Larchmont · 18 November 2016, 01:08 AM

Too many lines on th dial.

JP Chestnut · 18 November 2016, 01:14 AM

You missed an option - I like it, but would never buy one.

SearChart · 18 November 2016, 01:21 AM

SLRdude · 18 November 2016, 01:24 AM

I placed my order. I'm weak.

Like the look, but would prefer it as an "RHD"

Not sure about the beige lume (need to se IRL) but that apart it looks very nice.

I wonder if anyone will attempt to fit the dial, bezel and date wheel to a regular Pelagos (or vice-versa).

Dr. Robert · 18 November 2016, 02:03 AM

Not excited with this release.

hun23 · 18 November 2016, 02:07 AM

I like it. But it wont be on my purchase list.
