I really love the "coolness" of the red font and the roulette date wheel of the LHD. The beige plots also gives it a nice vintage feel. If I get it, I will still wear it on my left wrist regardless. However, I love my 2-liner as well due to how clean the dial is aesthetically and can't help but think that it may become collectible in the future. Although it is ETA, it is performing very accurately as well at +2s/day. Should I trade-up?

Yea I would if you really like it. It's an amazing watch with a lot of attention to details. I would buy it if it was RHD. The crown on the wrong side would drive me crazy. But for once leftys get a cooler watch than us.

I really wish they made a RHD version of this watch!!

It's a great piece. Grab one if you can as I don't expect them to be around for long

Its up to you I wear mine on my left wrist.

The 2 liner is very nice as well so a tough choice for you.

Lets see what Basel brings. If not, I would go for the LHD as I like it much better than the two line Pelagos.

Not for me.... 2-line ETA Pelagos is the one to have. Your mileage may vary.

So I've owned the two liner black and the 4 liner blue. I've tried on the LHD and can't get it out of my mind. I think what really makes it is the cream hints. Really adds a completely new element. I honestly wouldn't call it vintage, at least for me it doesnt give a vintage look, it's just cool. The cream, matt black, titanium, and the hint of red is complete perfection. The LH crown just adds a cool factor. I just bought a Daytona C so I'm not happy how much I like this model. LOL! The black 2 liner is great but in my mind the new LHD smokes it.

Here's my take...the Pelagos is a great watch. In any flavor. So, in other words, I don't think you're going to get the bang for your buck because you're trading one great watch for another great watch.

That is, unless you can't live without the little red touches and the cream patina. And if that's the case, then you've gotta do what you've gotta do.
