Tudor Pelagos LHD for 16,5 cm

[Jons1212]

Hello everyone, I went to my AD and was looking for the Tudor 58 and I saw for the first time the Tudor Pelagos LHD. I found very cool with the left hand drive, the red touch and the fake patina on the markers. So I try on and feel directly comfortable with it, probably because of the titanium. Now I'm waiting for the 58 to come because I'm on the list and at the first time I refuse to think that the Pelgos it's a watch for me, because 42 it's to big for a 16,5 cm wrist. I thinking more and more about that LHD and don't know if maybe I better go for the Pelagos because it's the watch that a crush on it and doesn't matter if its pretty big watch.
Thank you for your advice.

It's a really cool watch, and I don't think I'll ever sell mine, but it is large. It's a 42mm watch, but keep in mind that the bezel overhangs the case slightly, so visually it's even larger at 43mm. I have a 7.5" (19cm) wrist, and I wouldn't go any larger.

If I were you I'd wait for the 58, because that's what you really want.

The LHD is very cool watch, but in your case I would say wait until you see and compare it with the 58. Also it is advisable not to make an Impulse purchase

My AD had the LHD for a week. I really liked it aesthetically on the wrist and it still falls within my 40-42mm case diameter preference and < 51 mm lug to lug. A handsome modern watch. The only problem was the heft or complete lack thereof, just my own personal preference as I like to have some weight on there and the titanium was too light. Maybe in the future when I have purchased other pieces that I want, I will source an ETA Pelagos.

For comparison,
Pelagos LHD;
-14.4mm height
-50mm lug to lug
-42mm case diameter

110460
-12.5mm height
-48mm lug to lug
-40mm case diameter

126600
-15.2mm height
-50.4 lug to lug
-43mm case diameter

Since you are leaning towards the smaller watch trend though, you should just wait for the BB58
