Not a colossal Tudor fan myself, but I'm with the folks who wanted a classic Blue Snowflake with in-house movement / original size...That would be a treat to see.

Forgot about the red on the dial. That generally bodes well for "collectibility" for anything Rolex/Tudor related. A reissue of a blue snowflake would have to be a Basel thing I would presume, IF they ever want to go there again.

I like it. And...since I flipped my Pelagos, maybe one is in the cards? I'll have to look at one in the flesh.

They know that they will not sell as many of these as they would a Tudor sub but it fills a niche that is unfilled by any other major manufacturer as far as I know.

You're totally right and it's the blessing/curse of Tudor.

They are free enough to do edgy things that Rolex cannot/wont and it's paid off. I mean the BlackBay and Pelagos when they first came out were stunning. And this got them so much press it was incredible. Amongst my circle of friends, everyone has owned a Black Bay/Pelagos at least once.

Since then for me it's been a decline. Grabbing press through gimmicks rather then standing head and shoulders above the crowd. Imagine the attention they would be getting with a modern MN, a red dial sub, the Pelagos GMT etc.

Hmm. Yes. I do like red. It would be fun to see on a Rolex Sub again...but not a fan of the Super case Sub and I missed the window for Red 1680s going for < $10k

[rajurama]

I like it .. Its different and always a great WIS conversation starter to have a unique watch.

[ROGERB]

The 4770.00 price tag seems to be on the US web page, I don't think that's the CDN price

[sholzer]

The more I look at the, the more I wish it didn't have the fake patina and was RHD. Love the red pelagos and roulette date wheel

[DJExplorer]

Deflated. Great hype and conversations for a "meh" piece.

[travisb]

It's ok. I much prefer the regular blue or black over the new destro though.

May it be a currency conversion issue?? Here is RK's post from Instagram this am. He is the head of Tudor USA. Says $4400.

Agreed. Seems like this was much ado about...well, not much.

I'm number 3 in line with my AD.

Strange feeling about this. I was a bit unimpressed with the black Pelagos, and the blue is extremely loud. This piece hits all the right marks for me. I'm wondering why it's lefty only tho(?).

I'm a bit worried that it reaches the price range of a Rolex Sub no-date tho.

Destro means "right" in Italian. So, a right-handed watch.

It's not a lefty only. Destro watches are designed to place the crown towards the elbow - out of the way of damage - when worn on the left wrist.

Sinn's line of mission timers aren't designed for left handed people:

Is $4400 USD ND Sub territory?? I just looked st a nice used ceramic ND sub that was from 2014 and it was $6500. Think MSRP is quite a bit higher than that. I am on the way to my AD now to check this Pelagos out. Hope his Fed Ex arrives by the time I do.

Like the roulette date wheel and the dial layout. Only thing that worries me are my small wrists. The black bay is my upper bound- does the Pelagos wear much larger?

Yes.

[J!m]

I was microns from picking iup a very nice two-line black... I may have to dig a bit deeper and get this.

Just think for a second- when is the last time you saw a destro offered by a major player???

I need to see this, hopefully today!

[lukajur]

Do we now how "limited" it is?

[Thisdale]

I did not know this.
Thank you for the insight.

Meh. Destro is for Paneristis.

Numbered, not limited.

It is not. It is numbered.

regular pelagos msrp is 4395. the difference is this one is limited so youll prob pay close to 4400 for a while whilst the black/blue pelagos is much lower.

Not really ND Sub RRP is $7500 USD and can be had used for around $6K

[kneedeep]

AD called as promised before opening today and right, wrong or indifferent I passed on this one.

[Dr. Robert]

I still think Tudor should have brought back a heritage model of the big block chronos.
IMHO, they have enough heritage dive watches in their line.

[hun23]

I like it. Great for the lefties, which unfortunately is not me.
