Great note on the end links - most watch reviews don't note how male/female affects wearability and I wish they would. I have the original 2-line black Pelagos, purchased before the blue/LHD came out, and it has been an exceptional watch. While I agree it could be nice if it was thinner, I sometimes like the extra chunk of the Pelagos compared to my Sub (124060). The thickness gives the watch some significant presence without feeling overdone because it is all matte.
This is hands-down my favorite watch channel. Talking about watches in terms of fun and not just sheer value is so refreshing and the jokes are always spot on. 🍻
@@YoureTerrific Those stupid open mouth reaction shots or hands on the face like you’re freakin’ Macaulay Culkin drive me insane. Your corner of the world is a better place.
The MT5612 (current movement in pelagos) is 6.5mm thick. The MT5402 (movement in the BB58 and new ranger) is 5mm thick. I know it is unlikely, but if they were to just swap movements and reduce the thickness by 1-1.5mm as a result the pelagos would be my absolute dream dive watch. 12.6mm and titanium would be an absolute dream
Good point. But that dream would turn into a nightmare quickly when the watch becomes unobtainable at retail and trades at triple MSRP on the secondary market. You're Terrific said it best ... our brains are broken. So is my heart. I need a new hobby.
@@GCPlati85 in some places maybe... In paris they told me i need to wait 6 months for the BB Pro and they put me in their waiting list (is not a wish one... Hehehe), but the watch is waiting for me since a couple of months in my home country! My AD even asked if I was going to pick it up in august, but I've told him september...
They already managed to make a thinner Pelagos with the FXD, by dropping the water resistance down to 200m and eliminating the helium escape valve. Downside is that it's missing the best in class bracelet and clasp.
Congratulations on the new pickup! I’m looking forward to to seeing what you make of the SSK too. Today agree that square indeces work so much better with snowflake hands than round ones. It’s how a Tudor diver is supposed to be! I know I’m very much in the minority but it’s why the Black Bay 58 always looks just slightly “wrong” to me. But hey, different strokes for different folks and all that.
Exactly what I was thinking. I came back to this video today to see if anyone was mentioning the 39 in the comments. I have a BB58 but plan to sell for the Pelagos. I used to own an LHD but sold it within a year due to the thickness.
I adore my Pelagos, if there was literally any one thing I could change, it would be the spring bar / lack of access. It's wild how difficult they are to replace.
Congrats Evan, the LHD is the best pelagos, and its great to you bought it in Italy. Nice memories on the wrist. Enjoy the hell out of it, cheers P.S.: I guess we are rocking currently the same watch on our wrist, 5KX GMT is awesome 👍🏻
Glad to hear you find the bracelet sharp too. The watch case was too with mine. I did the unthinkable and took my dremel and added a small bevel to the edges. Knowingly reducing the value of the watch, but it made all the difference. I did it link by link and under magnification and you won't notice it. Can tell you that I was very nervous doing it though. Glad it worked. Only two things that bother me with this watch are the minor misalignment of the bezel insert (hello Seiko) and the spring of the clasp being too stiff to be comfortable. Oh, and it should have been grade 5 titanium
I've been wanting to try out a lefty for a long time. I just built a lefty Seiko mod and I absolutely love it. It only took a few days to stop thinking that it looks upside down :) That was my initial turn-off on this Pelagos but now I know I'd actually like it.
Love the LHD but my very skinny wrists was never able to pull it off. Went flr the Pelagos 39 instead that apart from missing the cool LHD features wears like a dream. Great video! 🙌
A GMT Pelagos would be really great!!! About Pelagos LHD, I love it. I 've bought it a few weeks ago and I can't take it away. When even I wear my datejust or my moonwatch I really miss it! I think no one of your "why not" is a deal breaker... common is a real tool watch! It must have those sizes and the titanium is perfect for it! Chears from Italy!
Great watch, bought mine a month ago and still love it and wear it every day. I had to smooth the sharp edges on the bracket which was disappointing to have to do, but it’s not the only watch I’ve had to smooth sharp edges from. Now it’s done and all good and glad I did it. Hope you enjoy yours as much as I’m enjoying mine!
Some good points here, and I think that was a great pickup on your trip! I see you holding on to this for awhile, but probably not a long term keeper unless it's quirky enough to fit into your collection lifestyle. Regardless, I'm a big fan of the watch and while I don't see them revamping the line anytime soon, I'd like to see them expand the colorway in the future, maybe introduce green or another color.
I couldn’t keep this watch more than a couple of months. Though it has the nicest dial of all Tudor tool watches, it was, as you stated it, the bracelet. The watch never felt comfortable on my rest because of it. Enjoy yours though. Hope you have a much better experience than mine.
great video! am thinking about picking one of these up, definitely more unique than the BB58 and not vintagey. Any thoughts on the new Pelagos 39? Will you be selling this for that??
It's amazing how often I agree with you. It's my only Tudor, for me the model that doesn't copy Rolex. The LHD is numbered, it's more exclusive. I find that the clasp springs are too stiff, it hurts after a while when the wrist swells. greetings from France.
Man, your videos are some of my favorite watch content on UA-cam. You should have five times the subscriber count, and I’m rooting you on that you get there soon!
perfect choice: The pelagos is the best modern automatic luxury diver. I wear sytematically my bleue one (on blue rubber) in holidays and sold my Tudor Heritage.
It’s a lovely watch and I’m a leftie but it’s just too big for me. However I recently tried the FXD and that wears much smaller than the dimensions would suggest. But the dial and bezel colours of the LHD are still nicer
I am in love with the blue used on the Pelagos, always have been. It's the closest tone of blue that is like the deep deep vibrant blue only found on glacial ponds; that glow from within given they're on a huge ice cube. It's a huge watch for me, but I always go back and think "could I pull it off?" I want a smaller 300m version. That would be amazing. Also, congratulazioni signore!
How big is your wrist? I have the blue pelagos and I love the colour as well. But I have 6.25 and it's fine on me. But as a tool watch it's OK to be larger I think. I would like it in the Hulk inspired green.
@@ethanfailes7908 Yeah, me too. The most chunky tool watch I have is the Seiko SPB213. Wears chunkier on the bracelet it comes with but still works on my wrist. That one is a 40mm.
You (really are) terrific. I want this to be my favorite watch-reviewer-channel for as long as possible. Also want to express my gratitude for your decision to reveal your face.
Great video usually 👍😎 absolutely agree with you, I bought LHD for the same reasons, it’s modern but the same time is so heritage and different 👌 this my favorite casual watch
You’re so right about the square markers. I’ve always liked the look of this watch but I could never put my finger on why. I wear a black bay 36 which I’m really happy with, but I’d be tempted to upgrade if they revamped with a similar look to this. Unfortunately my wrist could never carry off one of these bad boys
This is what happens when you get near to Greece, you mess up with Pelagos... As for the lefty crown, who cares, it's a great watch. Oh, and probably the best clasp out there. PS Nice interview btw, cool indeed. PS2 On the perlon strap is great, but the smile on the back is priceless!
Picked one up yesterday at the boutique in NYC. Wears pretty darn good on my 6.5 inch wrist considering the dimensions. I sent it in today because the date doesn't center in the window. I saw somewhere this is common and fixable. I'm really hoping. Meanwhile the watch ain't on me wrist unfortunately. My vintage Seamaster and GMT line up perfectly in the center of the window. Is this a precise Swiss made time piece or what? Right?
Tudor has been doing great with the later releases. I echo the annoyance of a watch running slow vs fast. I have issues with titanium vs steel. For some reason as my wrist swells during the day, titanium either becomes too tight or too loose vs steel. I find titanium best on straps, and I really like that canvas strap you showed off.
No, don’t think so. Especially with the thickness and bracelet heft. My wrist is >8.125 and it fits perfectly and used to wear a breitling Bentley and super avenger that were too big for function, imho. The other thing that surprised me was the weight and balance that make it feel sporty but not too heavy or cheap (light). *I’ve got a video.
Smashed my 2-liner on the file cabinet at work today. Ugh! I looked down and there was black paint on both the crystal and bezel at @ 2:00. I wiped off the paint and took a close look. Not a mark on it the watch. Pelagos 1, File Cabinet 0.
Love my LHD ❤ probably my fav in the collection. Bracelet is a bit chunky, the rubber one feels too utilitarian (but is my go to for swimming), I have it on a parachute strap. Ciao from Italy 👋
Evan that looks so good on you. That leather strap combo is super handsome....and who knew about the roulette ?? You learn something new on here every day.
IF one is comfortable in one's own skin and not in any social media induced need of a crown and ROLEX on the dial for self validation, the Pelagos LHD is, IMO, THE perfect watch to own in place of the Submariner AND Sea Dweller. And basically ANY other "dive" watch. Well...except maybe for the fun and quirky P01. The LHD is also a perfect "one watch collection watch" if there ever was such a thing. Congrats & enjoy!!
I noticed that you mentioned that you don't like how the titanium clasp feels against your wrist. News Flash: the case back and folding clasp are both steel.
Your videos are fabulous and really love your style. I absolutely agree with this probably being one of the best dive watches on the market. They look awesome and I personally love titanium watches. However, I do own the Christopher Ward C60 in blue...and can’t help to find its quality and aesthetics with its value still keeping me happy after the three years I’ve owned it. It also seems to bridge the favorable qualities of the Black Bay 58 blue and blue Pelagos really, really well. Incidentally, I always felt the LHD version was for lefties...but I cannot hold anything against someone liking this particular one better than the typical black and overly bright “Scuba Blue” one-it totally rocks!
Great advice regarding Christopher Ward! P.s. left hand watches are actually better for wearing on the left, as the crown doesn't dig into the wrist. So they're perfect for most of us who wear on the left
Great review. I've ordered an LHD (due in Oct.22). You confirm a lot of the thoughts and considerations that I had before I pulled the trigger. It's definitely a bit different and I also would've preferred it a bit slimmer..... but I'm pretty sure I'm going to love it.
Someone probably already quoted, but:"I'd be losing money if I DIDN'T buy a watch, am I right?!" Classic Evan. I always written the Pelegos off, titanium an square hour markers, bleh. But tastes change, I guess, this looks really nice. Been having Rolex/Tudor fatigue lately, but this review is refreshing, thanks🙂👍
Pelagos LHD is the best to me because I like that yellowish markers. The watch is sexiest on leather. It’s saying I’m a tool rugged watch who makes no compromised but I dress up to the occasion. When it’s back on bracelet, it’s saying I’m modern, uncompromised, don’t care about being flashy and don’t care about being different, and I’m the beast.
Great review on a great watch! I 100% agree with everything here. I had the blue Pelly for a period of time and found it to be too BLUE for my taste in the long run. I think the LHD has a much nicer look. But yes, if they lose the HEV and drop the WR to slim the case a bit, I probably won't be able to resist buying one. Ok ciao.
Fxd slimmer ..no date…countdown bezel and very cool…no bracelet so feels even lighter..I have the fxd but I think I’m going to purchase the lhd as well..love them both and I think they are different enough to have both in the collection!
@@steves8322 I do believe they are indeed ! That's why I asked that question, I am interested about what drives you into one instead of the other. You've found the answer it seems : taking both haha !
I loved owning the Pelagos blue, and yet I sold it. It was almost so great, yet I don't miss it because I know Tudor will iterate on it to make it better. I'll be patient.
First time I've seen your channel and got to admit I like what I see, great little review, superb camera work and editing..plus you made me laugh. Subscribed 👍🏻
If they just got the tip of that seconds hand in the same red as the top line dial text that would something. Oh and a METAS certification would be nice. I'd also throw in a display case back if I'm generating a wish list :) Great review and thumbs up!
That lume always looks so blue in the videos. Mine is more of a bright green blue. I guess the colour varies slightly? Ive seen some bezels with both the green and blue lume
Timely. I’ve been stocking this one too. Thinking of selling my BB58 once I find a LHD example to buy. Those ‘little balls’ are a real bonus. LoL!! Not sure I’ll be able to go off shore to look for one tho. Wish Tudor made them more readily available here in North America.
Excellent video ! I was struggling to choice between all models of pelagos and finally go for the original 2 lines Black version . And i m so glad with it
Great video as always, but this is not for me unfortunately :/ in fact after owning the BB58 and falling out of love with it, I might never buy a Tudor again. On that note, quick question- would you pay over retail for a sub date? And if so how much for a brand new one 122160LN?
Did you try on the FXD? It is thinner but does not pair with any type of bracelet. Also it does not have a helium valve and lower depth? Might be a better Pelagos?
I saw the Bologna 2 towers in your video, my city I bought the lhd last year, here in Bologna, and I'm fully satisfied apart the sapphire glass that is not so good as expected about light reflects thanks for your video Luigi
Another great video. And I 100% agree. I sold off my 116610 supercase submariner date because while a great watch, it felt very “basic” (good lord, talk about being a watch doofus), and bought a Tudor LHD (preowned full kit for about $3300) a year ago. It’s my daily sport watch along with my explorer 2 polar, my aqua terra green dial, and my Nomos Neomatik 42 (the one you made me buy after seeing your video - you glorious bastard). But the Pelagos is truly a quick grab when I don’t feel the need to “think: about which watch I want to wear on any given day. Love your channel. Keep making great content.
Great video! Thinking about selling my BB58 and buying this. Wish it was 1mm thinner. Wears a little thick but the titanium definitely makes up for that weight. But I get it, this is the ultimate dive watch. Wear it with good health!
You know what they say, "When in Rome..." :) Cool watch! Not a fan of the blue on the other Pelagos watches but this one is very nice indeed! Congrats on this one, enjoy it!
Really like this watch, but don't love it. Prefer the FX or is it DX? Whatever, you know the one, think it's a more interesting offering. Great video as always
As your channel grows, please don't change anything - it's perfect as it is. Don't become one of those shouty show-offs with stupid catchphrases.
"It's 10:30--let's get down to business..." *Dies of cringe*

Except for, “Fuck no.” “Fuck no” can stay.
Wow, you are spot on for my taste, so tired of the watch nerds rattling off like they are watch gods. Ugh. This channel has it right.
Did you ever give us that updated video on your LHD? I’m in the market for one this year and would like to see how you took to it. Thanks

I love how ur American but u always lead measurements in metric instead of imperial. Good stuff. And on behalf of 99 percent of the world. Thank you.
This review was a big reason I picked up the LHD thanks! nice feature on Teddy's channel too, excited to see your channel develop this year.
Dear which is the strap at 3:30 ? It looks wonderful
Love my LHD! Easily my favorite diver. Took it cave diving last week and the lume is incredible. Almost the same as my dive computer.
How long does the lume last?
LOL

This is a LHD done right! The Rolex LHD hurts my brain. But this one is just perfectly done, and you get sooo much watch for its price
I adore my Pelagos, if there was literally any one thing I could change, it would be the spring bar / lack of access. It's wild how difficult they are to replace.
Dude, seriously. I broke out sweating while changing straps.

I wear a black bay 36 which I’m really happy with, but I’d be tempted to upgrade if they revamped with a similar look to this. Unfortunately my wrist could never carry off one of these bad boys
Square markers are the original for Tudor dive watches.
This is what happens when you get near to Greece, you mess up with Pelagos...
As for the lefty crown, who cares, it's a great watch. Oh, and probably the best clasp out there.
PS Nice interview btw, cool indeed.
PS2 On the perlon strap is great, but the smile on the back is priceless!
I used to own a pelagos many many years ago, and for the longest time couldn't describe why I sold it...until now. IT IS ✨sticky✨
Didn’t even know about the roulette date wheel on this one. Sneaky cool feature I’ve always loved!
Congrats on scratching that itch! Look forward to the updates and seeing if it winds up being a keeper for you.

P.s. left hand watches are actually better for wearing on the left, as the crown doesn't dig into the wrist. So they're perfect for most of us who wear on the left
I actually wear my CW on my right wrist when cycling for that reason. Forget everything I said about that!
Love your reasoning for buying the watch, spoken like a true watch lover! Great review!
It's just suuuuch a cool watch... HOW COULD YOU NOT?! I've got such a soft spot for this watch! If it wasn't so giant, I would be all over it!
Great review. I've ordered an LHD (due in Oct.22). You confirm a lot of the thoughts and considerations that I had before I pulled the trigger. It's definitely a bit different and I also would've preferred it a bit slimmer..... but I'm pretty sure I'm going to love it.
October?!
This one is stunning. I once tried the blue one in an AD and since then I am confident that would I once buy a luxury diver, it will be the pelagos.
Someone probably already quoted, but:"I'd be losing money if I DIDN'T buy a watch, am I right?!" Classic Evan. I always written the Pelegos off, titanium an square hour markers, bleh. But tastes change, I guess, this looks really nice. Been having Rolex/Tudor fatigue lately, but this review is refreshing, thanks🙂👍
You know me so well.
Pelagos LHD is the best to me because I like that yellowish markers. The watch is sexiest on leather. It’s saying I’m a tool rugged watch who makes no compromised but I dress up to the occasion. When it’s back on bracelet, it’s saying I’m modern, uncompromised, don’t care about being flashy and don’t care about being different, and I’m the beast.
Great review on a great watch! I 100% agree with everything here. I had the blue Pelly for a period of time and found it to be too BLUE for my taste in the long run. I think the LHD has a much nicer look. But yes, if they lose the HEV and drop the WR to slim the case a bit, I probably won't be able to resist buying one. Ok ciao.
Mister, apart from watches you do have taste on mixing colors on your outfit. Your channel deserves much more recognition
Thanks
This video is so good, I had to watch it twice in a row. Like all your videos actually. Looking forward to the Superocean reviews. Cheers, fullsetphil
I'm betting on 6 months, but less than a year. Great review.
Great video as usual ! While you were shopping, did you try the FXD ? And if so, what did you think of it compare to the LHD ? Thx mate !
Fxd slimmer ..no date…countdown bezel and very cool…no bracelet so feels even lighter..I have the fxd but I think I’m going to purchase the lhd as well..love them both and I think they are different enough to have both in the collection!
@@steves8322 I do believe they are indeed ! That's why I asked that question, I am interested about what drives you into one instead of the other. You've found the answer it seems : taking both haha !
Great review. Your images are so crisp, the watch looks stunning.
Just watched your video on "into the LIMELIGHT" and smiled the whole way through! Very cool! Also, congrats on the 50k subs!
Thanks!
Another wonderful video! Keep it up... love your style of presentation
I loved owning the Pelagos blue, and yet I sold it. It was almost so great, yet I don't miss it because I know Tudor will iterate on it to make it better. I'll be patient.
What ultimately made you sell it?
@@eyeheartsushi2212 The BB58. The size and dimensions were what I was looking for. The James Stacy Pelagos GMT concept would be ideal.
Another great review and the humour is top class - you must have spent some time in the UK to have such great dry sarcasm!
Don’t let the negative comments get to you. For every negative comment there are a thousand people who just watch and enjoy your videos. Cheers
Negative comments on UA-cam? Never.
First time I've seen your channel and got to admit I like what I see, great little review, superb camera work and editing..plus you made me laugh. Subscribed 👍🏻
If they just got the tip of that seconds hand in the same red as the top line dial text that would something. Oh and a METAS certification would be nice. I'd also throw in a display case back if I'm generating a wish list :) Great review and thumbs up!
That lume always looks so blue in the videos. Mine is more of a bright green blue. I guess the colour varies slightly? Ive seen some bezels with both the green and blue lume
Timely. I’ve been stocking this one too. Thinking of selling my BB58 once I find a LHD example to buy. Those ‘little balls’ are a real bonus. LoL!! Not sure I’ll be able to go off shore to look for one tho. Wish Tudor made them more readily available here in North America.
As a lefty I am drooling over a left hand luxury watch
Bro! What is it with you and releasing reviews of watches that I am looking at!!! Insane timing haha
Excellent video ! I was struggling to choice between all models of pelagos and finally go for the original 2 lines Black version . And i m so glad with it
Great video as always, but this is not for me unfortunately :/ in fact after owning the BB58 and falling out of love with it, I might never buy a Tudor again.
On that note, quick question- would you pay over retail for a sub date? And if so how much for a brand new one 122160LN?
I wouldn’t, but maybe because I’ve had Subs before. Not exciting to me anymore.
Did you try on the FXD? It is thinner but does not pair with any type of bracelet. Also it does not have a helium valve and lower depth? Might be a better Pelagos?
Tried it. Didn’t like what the fixed bars do to straps.
I saw the Bologna 2 towers in your video, my city
I bought the lhd last year, here in Bologna, and I'm fully satisfied apart the sapphire glass that is not so good as expected about light reflects
thanks for your video

Another great video. And I 100% agree. I sold off my 116610 supercase submariner date because while a great watch, it felt very “basic” (good lord, talk about being a watch doofus), and bought a Tudor LHD (preowned full kit for about $3300) a year ago. It’s my daily sport watch along with my explorer 2 polar, my aqua terra green dial, and my Nomos Neomatik 42 (the one you made me buy after seeing your video - you glorious bastard). But the Pelagos is truly a quick grab when I don’t feel the need to “think: about which watch I want to wear on any given day. Love your channel. Keep making great content.
Great suite to select from.
Great video! Thinking about selling my BB58 and buying this. Wish it was 1mm thinner. Wears a little thick but the titanium definitely makes up for that weight.
But I get it, this is the ultimate dive watch. Wear it with good health!
Which bezel action do you think it’s best between LHD and Sinn U50?
Is the monoblock index applied to the current Pelagos lhd?
@youreterrific This vs the SuperOcean? What is your fav between the two?
This
@@YoureTerrific Thanks mate
You know what they say, "When in Rome..." :) Cool watch! Not a fan of the blue on the other Pelagos watches but this one is very nice indeed! Congrats on this one, enjoy it!
Really like this watch, but don't love it. Prefer the FX or is it DX? Whatever, you know the one, think it's a more interesting offering. Great video as always
Benvenuto amico! Excellent review and wit, as always! Keep it up!
Awesome production as always! Enjoy the new toy and welcome back 🤘🏾
Thanks
A GMT Pelagos would be great. I prefer the subdued looks and prefer 41-43mm watches.
