I like all of those.

I'm not sure if buy any. I like the eta movement and feel its a bit silly to pay a premium simply because a movement is made in-house.

They all look nice tho.

I agree Seth. Especially since ETA has been Tudor's backbone for so long.

It is nice to see them sprouting their own wings

Totally agree, wish they kept it the same and changed just the colour.

When will the ADs actually get these watches?

It's a question of if they've already started manufacturing the watch. If we're lucky, May time. I should have a better idea of delivery time next week once my boss is out in Basel

Normally you get new Tudors around May and the Rolexes in Summer, but last year they were quicker

I'm liking the blue Pelagos but wish they'd stuck to 2 lines or maybe just add 'Pelagos'.
The Fastrider is improved but those colors are not going to be for me.
According to their website it appears the Heritage Line will still be available.

Fastrider is still very cheap and tacky looking.

Blue Pelagos looks swish though.

The black P on the rubber strap with 70hr PR is impressive!

It was probably a silly question in the first place but I went online and it will come on bracelet and also include the same additional rubber strap that you get with the current model.
Tudor's website suggests so...

No don't mind the wall of text, though it is such a "Rolex" thing to do.

I think the ETA Pelagos will be sought after in the not TOO distant future.

I wish I didn't flip mine but it is just too big for my wrist, so big the rubber strap would bulge out at the sides :(

Not sure if I will pick up a blue one, it is tempting and I love the design except it doesn't look any good on me :(

That blue Pelagos is stunning. If I ever get another dive watch, it will be that one.

I must say...I wasn't a fan of the Pelages before but I think it's growing on me. Especially the blue. Agree with a lot of you!

What's the price point? Anyone know?

Check out the new buckle....pretty sweet. How long until those spring wear out though?

Blue Pelagos looks awesome, but the colored Fastriders reaffirms why Tudor may just remain at the kids table.
