I finally pulled the trigger on my "tool" watch last week...

...and could not be happier! The double bonus is that I am a lefty that has always worn my watches on my right wrist.

Congrats!! Did you look at any other watches? I’m debating between the Pelagos and the Black Bay.

I looked at several watches but really considered the the two-line 14060M, the SD4k and the other two Pelagos. I liked the Black Bay Blue, but it looked a little to "nice" for my purpose.

I really do like how everything is brushed or matte. You should post a lume shot!

I looked at this when I got my Black Bay. It's such a beautiful watch, and so light! Which for me (and only my taste) I prefer a heavier watch.
I think its a better looking watch than the BB for sure. Great piece.
