- Hey Schwartz Force! Did you know, its a great day to wear a watch? Today we're taking a look at the Tudor Pelagos Blue Reference M25600TB 0001, the 42mm blue dial version. I picked mine up pre-owned in August 2022, and when it arrived, I noticed something strange that no other reviewers or watch channels had mentioned, yet I see this being brought up in various forums online over the last few years...strange. Check out the video and then share your thoughts or experience down in the comments!

If you can explain what causes this issue or have experienced it with your Tudor (or any other brand watches) please drop a comment! 👇👇👇
just found your channel, as I'm considering buying this watch. It would be a great pairing with my black Sub! Great honest review, thank you!
Thanks for checking out my channel, Brent! And yes, this would be a perfect sidekick to the sub! Black and Blue divers are a must for any collection imo haha. Cheers! 😎🍻🙌
Dude, enjoyed the video, keep them up!
My friend's husband had the Pelagos in this color! The colors were a matched our university, so my eyes were drawn to it. 😅 I liked that the dial and the bezel were matte since the color was brighter than the usual watch, which subdued the attention-grabbing nature of a bright blue color. 💙🤍
Hehe yup it’s such a great tone of blue and the matte finish is just done so well! That’s awesome it matched your university colors! How cool! Thanks for checking this quick vid out, Eve! 😎🍻🙌
Tuuudoor broooo!!! Love the Blue pelagos! That blue is just awesome! Also, had no clue these suffered from that crystal issue. That's crazy! Great video and congrats on the addition.
Haha I had no idea either!! But I gotta be honest, I’d still buy it knowing what I know now lol, it’s just too damn good! Cheers my #tudorbro 😎🍻🙌
Great video, really liked it. The blue Pelagos is one of my favorites. I think I'll need to pick one up again.
The blue 42 is an iconic watch. I admire mine so regularly when wearing it on the bracelet. This is a hard watch to beat, aesthetically. Perfect IMO.
Have the same model with the same opinion. This is my ultimate weekend watch. Wish there was lume shot....it has without a doubt the best illumination of any model I have ever owned.....SPECTACULAR!!!
Good review! Thanks! Beautiful blue!
Thanks for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed it! 😎👍
Thanks for the great video. I agree that the 42mm is a great size and the blue is awesome. I tried the 39mm at a Tudor event but it just felt too light for my taste and the black dial seemed flat and uninteresting (albeit the lighting at the event wasn’t great). This original Pelagos is just perfect!
I know how you mean, Jon. I recently got to get the Pelly 39 in hand and agree that it feels “too light” and doesn’t have the same look as the original Pelly. I would say the 39 doesn’t give the same tool watch vibe as the 42. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on them both! 😎🍻🙌
Sounds like an outside AR coating. Glad you got it sorted out. It's a beautiful watch. I'm also a 42mm wearer. With an 8" + wrist, it's the right size for me.
Thanks B! Oh yeah this would be perfect for your 8”+ wrist, no problems, and that flexible clasp is just so so good! 😎🍻👍
Some great information here. With my GMT, I know there is AR on the underside. I have my doubts that you have AR on the upper but, like you, don’t have an explanation. That blue is beautiful. I see your reasoning behind it. Congrats on the Pelagos.
Thanks man! Yeah I’m pretty sure it’s AR inside on the Pelly but something causes that film on the outside which is just weird. Lucky for me it’s a quick and cheap fix lol. I’ll see what happens once it gets serviced in a few years. Hope you have a great weekend bro! 😎🍻🙌
Just picked mine up from an AD last week! We are in the middle of the honeymoon and yeah she’s sexy! Great vid, glad to be apart of the blue Peli club!
Congrats on tying the knot and on picking up your new Pelly! What a great piece to enjoy during your honeymoon as well! It will have a ton of sentimental value no doubt, enjoy!
Definitely an amazing watch & I think that if I were to have another Tudor it would be this one, which in hindsight is the one I should have got instead of the heritage red, I actually fell out of love with that watch within the first year! For a multitude of reasons that I hadn't even considered before getting it haha.
Thanks Adrian!! I have felt the same way about some watches I’ve acquired in the past so I totally understand. I could see you picking one of these up in the future for sure! It’s a forever piece imo. Thanks for checking it out man! 😎🍻🙌
I own the Pelagos for about two years now and never had the crystal issue which you described. But I also had issues with changing back to the bracelet. I solved it by not caring about scratches on the back of the lugs anymore 😅
Lol yup, let’s just get the scratches over with and not have to worry about it. I’ve actually felt the same about a lot of my watches for that very reason! 😅🙌 I think this crystal film issue may be a rare thing that happens with reaction to a specific condition or material, it had me intrigued for sure, I’m just glad it was easy to fix and maybe this vid will be helpful if other come across the issue someday. Thanks for sharing your experience with your Pelly! 😎👍
Put kapton tape on watch before putting tool near it for strap
Change
Beautiful watch but odd that you would need to put a treatment on the crystal, that is not cool at all, but so good for you to have the fix for it. I’m still going for the black bay at some point. Thanks pal!
Yup! As far as I could tell this seems to only be with Pellys, maybe there’s some sort of treatment that just degrades over time? 🤷🏻♂️ either way, it’s back to 💯 and I’m just blown away by this piece. Can’t wait to see you get that BB on the wrist soon! God bless, brother! 😎🍻🙌
Nicely done.
This is the best watch I have in my collection. Period
Yup! It’s definitely a heavy hitter in mine and I just love the color! 😎👍 A forever piece imo
It’s a superb diver that’s for sure my friend!!
Yup, it will be ready for those depths that I’ll never take it to but that okay haha. Cheers brother! 😎🍻🙌
I have worn mine for almost a year and have not had any issues. It’s my Smurf because I can’t afford to White gold blue dial Rolex. Lol. I love Tudor. I have the Pro, BB41 and BB gmt. I enjoy my Rolex Starbucks but wear the blue Pelagos more than the others.
Always good to see you Dave , we've come a long way from Nautilus homage i say we because with out subscribers you'd be dancing with yourself, if you wanna see someone dancing with there self checkout... Psycho Killer David Byrne Solo version .
Thanks JJ! It’s definitely been one heck of a journey with the collection for sure! I’m grateful for all the subs like yourself who’ve joined along from the start! I’ll definitely check out that David Byrne version! I’m a fan of the Talking Heads fo sho! Give a watch to Charlie Winston’s “Lately” video that’s got some solo dancing in it too haha. Cheers brother! 😎🙌
@@DavidSchwartzjr ✊
This one is pretty cool 👍the only thing it's missing is ghost effects
Totally haha, this one has been getting lots of wrist time lately! Thanks for checking it out! 😎👍
No issues with crystal on mine. Doubt there is any AR as I have cleaned my P42 with alcohol wipes regularly. Also, having the right tools, taking your time, and practicing will make the bracelet change much easier.
Good to hear no issues, I think it’s maybe a more rare thing that happens under specific conditions but I’m glad to hear you and a few others have reported no problems! And yup, this and my other Tudors and my Blancpain have forced me to take my time but also not to sweat the lug scratches if and when they do occur hehe. Thanks for sharing your feedback JC! 😎👍
I had the same issue on my 2023 Sea Dweller 43mm. It was inside the crystal. Rolex reluctantly replaced the crystal under warranty and had to wait months to get it back.
Thanks for the feedback, glad to hear you were able to get it replaced but that really is unfortunate about the timeframe it took to get resolved.
I have the same issue on my 42 Black. I bought it last July. I may stop in to my AD to see what they recommend.
Mine has the exact same issue. I was disappointed but I will deal with it.
Nice video!
Glad you enjoyed it! ^_^
That blue is amazing and at 42 it's a great size.
It’s such a great color!! And yup that 42 is my sweet spot haha, thanks for checking it out brother! 😎🙌
Always looks good on the wrist. Your three watch collection looks great
Thanks brotha! Those three could definitely handle just about any destination vacation hehe. Glad you enjoyed the vid! 😎🍻🙌
Man this watch is beautiful 💙 #tudorbros great production 👏
Thank you man! Spent way more time making b rolls than editing lol, you know how it goes. #tudorbros for life! 😎🙌
@@DavidSchwartzjr it paid off 👍🏼
1:13 looks like what happens when water with a high mineral content dries on the crystal. Took me 10 minutes to get rid of one mineral stain from a Tag Heuer sapphire crystal, going at it with an alcohol drenched ear swab and toothpick. Tough bastard.
That definitely could be the issue, especially if the staining is what gets scratched but the crystal itself is fine. Glad to hear you were able to get your Tag staining off after applying some alcohol and elbow grease lol. Cheers! 😎🍻👍
Quick tip; a mixture of apple cider vinegar and water removes hard water stains very well. I use a mixture in a spray bottle for my car windows when there are sprinkler spots on them.
5:16 nah just invest in Burgeon’s springbar tweezers and practice using them on cheaper watches first. I had to buy it for my luxury watches, because the endlinks are fitted tight to the cases. I now can remove and reattach my brackets with ease
Sweet watch Dave😎👍
Hey Trip!! Thanks buddy! I just love that blue tone! Wearing it again tonight hehe. Have a great weekend brother! 😎🍻🙌
@@DavidSchwartzjr thanks bro, enjoy 😃👍
i have the blue pelagos 42 as well. I have never noticed anything of that sort. mycrystal is basically invisible. 0 scratches and 0 blemish. Maybe it's just luck
my black 25500tn from 2015 has no problem with the crystal, love the lume that lasts all night long. What happened to your bezel, Seen at 3:22 ??
Bought my Pelagos new in late '21. Perfect watch, no problems with the issue you're talking about at my end. Had to sell it though as it was uncomfortable to wear. The expandable strap mechanism worked as it should when I played with it but, in practise it always felt very tight on my wrist. I'm 5'9 and 89kgs. The Blue strap included was never an option for me. Sold the watch a few months ago. Took a hit but, that's life I guess.
I’m glad it was an easy fix but when you buy a Swiss luxury watch you expect it to be flawless. Anyway I have seen many little issues with Rolex and Omega as well so, no worries.
Yeah, if I had not been able to remove the film or coating or whatever it is, I was definitely going to return it to the seller. I think it’s likely some sort of reaction the crystal is having since in one of the forums the AD told the owner to get the sapphire replaced so maybe it’s a known issue by Tudor? Either way, was not expecting that especially since no other reviewers had ever pointed it out. Cheers bro! 😎🍻🙌
Yo Dave great video bro nice you got the crystal right beautiful watch #tudorbros
Thanks P!! Yup had to clean that little smudgy smudge right off and get her back to pristine status lol. 😉🍻🙌
My Pelagos had a water mark on sapphire that would not come off after a spending a week in Cancun ocean. I sent it to Rolex via AD, & they replaced the Crystal at no cost. But my watch came back with more scratches & a speck on the dial!!! Poor in house quality control in my opinion!!! Now I have to send it back again!
Hey what kind of polishing cream do you use??
i was thinking to get this watch but i heard from some people that the bracelet could dig in to the wrist anybody have experience with that?
Good lad👌
Grade 2 Titanium is a plus... Maybe for someone that has a particularly sensible skin.
@@DavidSchwartzjr I was being sarcastic. I don't see Grade 2 as a plus. The only reason I would is if my skin wouldn't agree with anything else.
Question, I've got a Tudor BlackBay 58 Blue. With that being said, I'm looking to sell the BB58 and go to this exact Tudor Pelagos in Blue. I've got a 7 inch wrist, do you think it would be fine for my wrist or is it too big? Love to know what you think! Thanks.
Great question! So my wrist size is 7” to 7 1/4” depending on time of day and it wears just fine imo. You’ll definitely notice a difference between the BB58 blue but with the lightness of the titanium, it’s so comfortable you’ll adjust to the sizing really quickly. But best advice I can give is to try to get to an AD or grey market dealer who has a pelagos that you can test on wrist if possible. 😎👍
I own this blue p42 and have a 7” wrist. Sometimes it looks perfect, other times a little large. I personally love the watch. The blue version is quite different in natural sun light. In sunlight it transforms into a gorgeous pale royal blue, unique to other blue divers on the market. I have no regrets in buying this watch.
i have the same issue 😢
Bracelet is easier to change than my seamaster
One would have to think about, what if this watch was used for diving... What would happen then?
...
Haha yeah it may actually be the salt water that maybe causes that film on the crystal? Who knows, but lucky it can be fixed quick and cheaply. I’ll have to see what happens when I take it to the coast this year. 😎👍
They have announced a 39 in blue
42 Black. No such issues with mine. I buy only black watches.

The blue paint on the hands is a mess. For the money it’s unacceptable really. Tudor are such a let down on details and quality for me. I’d never touch them again.
Yeah man, you should definitely stop watching vids featuring Tudors if you truly feel that way. That said, I appreciate you stopping by to check out my content and channel. 🙏
Had it on my wrist today I like the black more than the blue.
Yeah the black is definitely iconic! If I hadn’t purchased my Fifty Fathoms I would have went for the black dial version no doubt! 😎👍
They need to make the black bay with a SS guided dial instead of a navy bezel it needs to be black
That would be awesome if Tudor did that! I’ve been thinking about getting the black bay ceramic lately but there are so many other watches on my wish list lol.
