Tudor blue....

Love my blue Tudor BB, bought by my wife for me for my birthday this year. Seen below with a Shinola I bought her today (impulse buy, she was smitten with the Orange). Anyway, is there room in a collection for a new blue Pelagos if the BB is already there and not going anywhere? Are they different enough to justify?

Absolutely! BB is steel, Pelagos titanium; plus straps are different, ditto shade of blue!

I think so, different material, different movements etc...... All of us only need one watch, so if for you they look different enough then go for it.

Very nice. I say the Pelagos and BBB are different. Keep one on a strap and one on a bracelet and they can really compliment each other. Different shades of blue, at least from the pics. That is what I would do if it were me. I thought about if I really wanted a blue Pelagos with my dssd? Do I trade the dssd for a Pelagos and THC blue?

Decisions, decisions, decisions.

Oh and here is another Shinola Orange impulse buy. My Rolex ad is a shinola dealer and had this one 40% off. I could not leave it there. It was like a puppy dog at the pound.

I've been having the same dilemma since the blue Pelagos hit.

Figure I'll wear the bb on nato and blue Pelagos on bracelet.

I think Tudor Blue looks like Black majority of lighting because of the matte blue color. Pelagos Blue is really bright and even the dial is blue.. both will be different. You'll surely see lot of pics together once the model is out.

Even if there isn't a good reason, there are enough friendly enablers on TRF to help find one for you!

Love your BBB...really nice timepiece!

The question is too much blue or too much Tudor?
I think when you will put them side by side they are totally different watches that you'll love to have both. If not, sell the one that you can give up.
