FXD incoming

Just picked up the Pelagos FXD and it has replaced my sub as the daily for now. Really happy with the piece and can’t believe how comfortable it wears. NATO and titanium are a killer combination as the watch melts away on the wrist. I think a grey or sail colored strap would be amazing. Open to ideas l on where to get one as this is my first watch on this type of strap. Wishing you all a happy holiday & healthy new year!

Oh wow, you are so lucky!!!
The dial looks a real dark blue, which I think is awesome. More photos please
I wish they had deleted the 'Pelagos" off the dial and given it a new name like 'Mil-Diver' but hey you can't have everything......

Thanks for the photo but I believe your lighting and colour adjustment must be slightly incorrect.
I have seen a lot of photos with a dark rich blue, that is my hope for the real life experience

Trying to see one of these FXD's in the flesh is like trying to spot a Yeti in the middle of the desert.....

The lugs and integrated spring bar looks so cool.
I think it has a slimmed down the case width so it sits flatter on the wrist.

Is titanium more salt water corrosion resistant than 904L Stainess?

Here’s another shot of the watch on my Sales associates wrist from inside the AD before I went to collect…he has a smaller wrist and his go-to size is 36mm I believe. This watch should wear well on most wrists.
