TIME STAMPS:
It’s closer to 7, but she insists on saying it’s 6.5 🤷🏻🤦🏻 (honest 😂)
It would be fun to get her to measure it. The wrist.
Lmao good one
They don’t understand how that can effect a man confidence
Men always round up 😂
Your PP?
FXD for me. It’s so different from anything else that I own. It wears like my sea dweller 43, but lighter and slimmer. And most of my watches are on bracelets, so it’s nice to have something different. It’s a great everyday watch for the outdoorsy adventurous type of person. It’s my first tudor and absolutely love it.
I got my Pelagos 39 the other day I actually bought it blind as I had never seen it in the flesh.To say I am happy with my purchase is an understatement it is a stunner if you want one just get one you won't regret it.
Same here and delighted with Pelagos 39 Titanium . Now I want the Blue Pelagos 39 sooooo bad.
That is actually almost the decision I had a few months ago. It was a std 42m Pelagos, any BB58 and the Pelagos 39 wait list. I very much like the warmth and charm of the black/gilt BB58 but I got the Pelagos 39 late last year and it’s not left my wrist since - It’s very much more ‘me’ but I don’t think it’s possible to get it wrong in the Tudor 58/Pelagos/BB Pro lines. They’re all stunning.
Ahhh it’s a top tier choice!! Honestly. I think that would be my choice now. ^_^ in 2020 I think BB58 made sense. In 2023…. The P39 is a pretty freaking strong offering!
Is the fxd discontinued? Can't find it anywhere
PELICAN!!!!!!
Well done for getting all three and well done for Hightower for lending the Pelican in! When I had this and my 58 up together it cemented the fact I can’t get on with titanium light watches! I need to feel some sort of heft on my wrist! I’ve got GShocks for lightweightedness! I think the P39 is the closest thing to Tudor sub what with the crown guards and bezel gripage! They won’t make a stainless steel version of it as that’s what separates it from the current Submariner. Unless it’s blue! But it’ll be blue in titanium guaranteed!!!!! Great colourful show loved it!
I understood that reference.gif
pel-AH-gos
Agree that the pelagos39 is the closest watch to a Tudor Sub. Just the name and the Ti differ it really
Watch Hightower is just an absolute LEGEND!
@@BrittPearceWatches It's an incredibly well balanced watch on the wrist. Wears like a dream. Am on a W/L for one. Imagine W/Ls for Tudor!
@@BrittPearceWatches you'd have to think blue is coming. Though green or something adventurous wouldn't surprise me with this one
I bought the 42mm Pelagos about 2 months ago. Every timeI look at it I am amazed at its beauty. My daily watch. I have a 7.5 inch wrist and the Black bay 58 did not look right on me so I need 41mm and over
In my opinion the BB 58 clasp is awesome because the size is modest compared to bracelets (tudor, rolex) with glidelock/t-fit and thus does not bash around. I do like the look of the rivets aswell.
Yes but a T Fit like on the ranger can be implemented. It’s way shorter that the Pelagos 39 clasp. Cheers.
Omega was also the first watch company to produce watches to the US military in 1918. (World War 1) and I love these Tudor Pelagos’s but I’m not a huge titanium guy. I like to be able to feel my watch on my wrist. I love their looks tho.
I love my blue BB58! I don’t mind the fake rivets, but the clasp is effectively very long due to a lack of articulation & long scissor arms. I’ve got it on a Forstner “O” & it’s much more comfortable now!
You know, I do agree on the faux rivets. You never notice them when you are wearing it!
Honestly, they're great watches but the lack of a date is a no-go for me. A watch is a piece of equipment first for me and I really need the date.
Ahhhh! The no date is the best part! 😜
The FXD is my favorite here. A combination I think of genuine military kudos, unusual bi-directional count-down timer bezel and those rad fixed spring bars. And it looked proportional enough on your husband’s 6.5” wrist. So would look more than fine on my 7” one 😁 the BB58 in its original black and gilt livery was my favorite dive watch for years too. Not so much anymore though. And this blue variant is the dullest of the range IMHO…sorry 😬 as for its bracelet, I’m not keen on it either. I would prefer the references that come on the leather or nylon straps.
Great comparison. I love the lightness and sporty colour of the titanium. I adore my BB Ceramic and one of the big factors for me is having a light full sized watch. Tudor is doing a great job and so are you!
Tudor is absolutely killing it! I am loving all of their offerings at the moment ^_^ and Watches and Wonders is right around the corner now!
I have all three, all can coexist even though there are obvious similarities, the Lume on the FXD and PE39 are awesome. Can’t go wrong with any of them👍 good to see a side by side review 👌
I prefer the pelagos look, the square markers and blue color is where they are distinct from Rolex. I am positive Tudor will make a P39 in Blue, and that historically is THE color for a Tudor as well. The P39 will be the de facto Oyster Prince Submariner of modern times. Having said that, just loooove the FXD and its purpuseful look. I have large wrists and can pull off either watch. Trying to make up my mind,and decide what would fit the collection better. I am on a smaller watch phase, and my brain says P39, but the FXD has my heart.
I owned the BB58 (OG) and bought a P39. I gave it 4 months but realised that the BB58 had barely been on the wrist in that time. Ultimately I couldn’t keep both and the BB58 was sold. I really miss it, but wouldn’t trade it for the P39.
My fave is the P39. And I have owned mine for nearly a month now (so slightly biased). I still cant get over how good it looks on the wrist! And the braclet design is *chefs kiss*. My one complaint which I'm not sure if everyone has is with the lume. For whatever reason the hands don't glow as bright as the hour markers or bezel. But I'm weirdly obsessed with lume on watches...
Oh. We are all obsessed with lume on watches! 😅 this is teaaally good to know! You’re right! Sometjing about it on the wrist is just 😍😍😍.
Your husband has the best and the coolest of the three and one of the better dive watches on the market period.
My friend has the FXD and I've worn it quite a bit. Photos and video don't do that lumed bezel justice, it is actual fire. It is light weight and comfortable on my 6.2" wrist. I didn't buy it because the BB58 Blue is too similar and I wear it all the time. The Pelagos 39 in that black is different enough that it has a place in my collection and I'll probably add it sooner than later... but, you know, money. And Cartier is next on the acquisition list
This is all perfectly said! I have absolutely nothing to add here! 😂😂💕💕💕✨✨✨
Given the choice of the three, & having tried a Pelagos 39 here in Australia last year, I’d have to say, yes, yes & YES!🤤🤤🤤🤣😎👍🏼
Since I have the Pelagos 39 I didn’t wear my BB chrono , Ranger and even my Rolex GMT is a safe Queen 🤷♂️🤷♂️ .
Rene. You have the coolest freaking watches! I feel like we have very similar tastes!
For me Pelagos 39 would be the choice. IMO, the square markers balances out the snowflake hands better.
That said Britt, I think adding black P39 to your blue BB58 would be a nice Tudor collection 😊
I've got the BB58 (in black) and the FXD... The P39 is also a beautiful thing
Another excellent video. Well done. I let go of my BB58 Blue when I got my FXD 21 (2 blue dives watches seemed redundant.) And let go of my Rolex 14060, when I got the Pelagos 39. Haven't regretted it a bit. The FXD and P39 are, IMHO, the ultimate 2 watch collection- they complement each other because they're two very different watches: bracelet/strap, blue/black, 42/40mm. The only downside is trying to decide which one to wear in the morning ;) BTW, if anyone basing their decision on lume alone, the FXD wins hands down. The lume on the P39 is good too, but the FXD is practically a spotlight at night.
I have alot of friends with bb58’s and I have the fxd. I had the bb58 black and the pelagos lhd and sold them both. I kept the fxd and it is a perfect middle point! Large face and super legible white on a beautiful navy blue dial (more interesting than black). The 12.75 -13mm thickness is amazing. I do miss having a watch with a bracelet though. Waiting for the p39 blue 👍🏼
Britt the Pelagos 39 could fit into a collection that also has a BB58, these two are different enough. The BB58 is more of a dressy diver with more polish and a box crystal and a very good one at that where the P39 is more of a modern tool watch with brushed case and flat crystal. Have them both if you can justify them. I'm more than happy with my BB58 (black and guilt) and the P39.
Ok, you've officially talked me into it! ;)
Just chillin' on the Sabbath with a Gringa movie. Loved the use of colour for a vibrant background to the watches. Usual greatness, uniqueness (ain't no such word) and plenitude of cool! Long live the cult.😎
LONG LIVE THE CULT! 💕💕✨ Ahhh this is much too kind! I am trying out more COLOURS and fun! I think I haven’t fully cracked the code! 🙈 but I am trying to figure out my style! This comment was far too kind!
I spent all day Friday wearing my Tudor bb58 navy. I spent all day Saturday wearing my submariner 41mm. I spent all day today wearing my air king. Despite all being unique and special in their own way, the Tudor has won my heart. ❤
Bb58 is one of my favourite pieces I own, but if tudor release the pelagos 39 in blue then I will be adding one for sure 💙
Gah! If they release the P39 in blue I will freaking LOSE MY MIND!
BB58 - especially in blue! Got to love the vintage looks. I understand how you might get bored after 3 years, but I am not there yet 😬🤌
Besides of the clasp and the faux rivets being a permanent discussion point I personally love the unique looks. It’s so cool to not just have another submariner clone. And the clasp is actually really good - it’s just missing the quick adjustment (which you probably don’t really need in 99% of the cases).
Tudor BB58....my personal favorite.
one thing i've not noticed before is the 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 goings anti-clockwise rather than all other dive watches going clockwise....who knew! (me by the looks of it)
*I like the Wilsdorf diver’s watch offerings BUT Seiko has ‘em beat...* [get it, “beat” ?🙄] *...in three ways: 1) better looking choices 2) much wider range of designs & 3) tough, reliable & dependable for much less money.*
Agree to disagree my friend! 🙈 well. Only on 1!
2. I cannot contest!
And 3. You’re so right! Just none of them speak to me. 🤷🏻♀️ I would buy a Seiko 5 GMT tho!
Love the FXD but not as much as im gonna love the blue Pelagos 38 that I bet is on the way.........
OH YES!
I was confused for a bit of the video. I thought from the thumbnail this was a you're terrific video 😅
LOL! I KNOOOOOOW I just changed it because I thought it felt too "You're Terrific". I think I've been watching too many of Evan's videos ;) Time to get back to some Bark and Jack and Jenni Elle!
I have the BB 58 in blue and love it, but like you I now want the Pelagos 39. I have the BB 36 but will probably sell it if my AD calls with the opportunity to get the Pelagos 39.
La desvergonzada Gringa remember me to a madam in a saloon in spaghetti western 😄😄😄 it's a good nick.
I prefer the pelagos 39 but I guess that the combat frogman can't afford for a Tudor and probably they used a Garmin or Casio
Bought a bb58 and a bb36 blue ,I’m done and out of this addiction.
...... Watches and Wonders soon ;)
I escaped Toronto. It’s getting vile.
As a fellow BB58 blue owner… Noooooooo! Can’t believe you finally had a change of heart. 😭 I would still choose the BB58 tho. Maybe it’s the old man in me liking the vintage vibe of the aluminium bezel.
I KNOOOOOW!!! I feel like I’m cheating on my BB58 😭😭 but you know, it might be jusy me getting excited for the new shiny toy!
Solid end link is perhaps better on the Tudors. There isn’t the fixed “tooth” as a first middle link.
Definitely drapes over the wrist a little more than the Rolex Oyster bracelet.
BB58 is still my favorite of these shown. So much so I had to have both the blue and black versions.
Kind of wish that Tudor would do a series of “Heritage” divers. Some vintage cues but with elegance.
Something like :
Matte dial
White gold indices
Satin brushed aluminum bezels in Burgundy, green, and blue.
White gold hands with lollipop sec hand
Three line script dial with red line
Non riveted oyster and jubilee options with T clasp
White gold colored inlay numbers on the bezel
The two toned subs style would be Tudors nod to their past as well as a sort of Tudor version of the Starbucks (I know they have a Harrods special edition but that’s more of a hunter green)
Maybe it could even be offered in a more sterile titanium cleaner “aprlogis” edition.
These could be their higher end line of Tudor.
Slightly better materials and finish with Meta and Cosc cert.
also I’d love to see a titanium watch with blue dial and matte black bezel.
The blue on blue is just not to my taste
I have to say I love Tudor more and more and actually love all 3 to be honest! Thanks for the review
Right?! I cannot wait to see what Tudor brings us @ Watches and Wonders this year!
Love your reviews.
For me,the choice would be Black Bay 58/Blue.
Now,if the Pelagos 39 was blue,it would be that.
Thanks again.
recently found your channel. been binge watching all the vods. keep it up!
Completely agree with you, Gringa: I've always been a big Tudor fan _in theory_ with their high quality and value, but there's always something about their styling that didn't speak to me...until the Palagos 39. It's definitely on my short list for next year, especially if they introduce another color option or two and *especially* if they see fit to introduce a GMT version (although that would likely make it too thick for my tastes given their other GMT models).
Having said that, this year's $$$ allocations have already been spent on the Bel Canto and Maen GMT preorders (and a random Glycine Costco Combat on sale because, why the hell not, right? 😁 )
Ouuu HOO! It’s made the SHORT LIST! 😱 that’s a coveted spot! Man! The P39 just does it for me. 😍
Gringa!! Hans is so proud of you and his spirit shall bless you. Great video again. I totally understand that I seem to be in a minority in that I am much more a fan of 41mm over 39mm watches. The FXD is at the end of my current AD treasure hunt. And after any watch acquisition, my online shopping is focused on NATO straps for a few days. Long Live the Cult(s)!!
Hi I’m with you on the size thing. I would love a 925 Silver and a BB PRO if a size increase was offered on these models. I have a Pelagos 42m in blue and the size is great. I love that watch it’s my only Tudor but a favourite in my collection. 👍
Ahhhh, the large wrist crew! ;) I wish I could rock a 41mm! It just looks dreadful on me ^_^
You didn’t mention the lume. P39 has fully lumed bezel which looks majestic in low light conditions (when airplane cabin lights go down!)
I love my Tudors. I wear them more often than my Rolex’s. Thanks
I must admit, I prefer a heavier watch, but the look of the titanium is awesome and would give a little more dink protection
I have the FXD and really love it. It is my first Tudor and when I got it, I thought it was just okay, and really the only Tudor that caught my attention at the time. I expected I would wear it a little bit and then I'd probably trade it. Well, the more I wore it, the more I loved it and next thing you know, it became the watch getting almost all the wrist time. I recently picked up a 925 for similar reasons.. both watches are just different enough and a little less "predictable." Tudor bracelets don't really do it for me... the Rolex bracelet is just so hard to beat. So for me Its strap or nato all the way with the Tudors.
Question: do you ever find yourself wearing a watch on a rest day at home? Do u have a selection or preferred watch for a relax day?
I ask because I do. Sometimes the sounds soothing to anxiety and also makes me feel productive even when just being at home on a snowy day exercising or cooking
Your hubby is always one step ahead of me! Waiting for my FXD to arrive in my local Ad. After seeing your beautiful shots of all three I think I'll have to add my interest for a 39.
Those line-up shots of all three are priceless, very useful as a comparison. Great vid - keep it up, Britt!!
Good luck Dom…. Hope it comes in soon for you - full disclosure, I was waiting for one from my AD and this came up from a friend who needed to get some quick money together to get a dream watch that had come on for him, so it was a win win for both of us.
@@watchpapi You can't turn down such opportunities, good for you!
I'm happy to wait for a while, my local AD has got me an Explorer and an Explorer II over the last two years, so I can't really complain too much.
I'm down for the FXD (as mentioned), a Jubilee Pepsi and a Daytone - will probably be dead by the time the latter two become available lol!
@@domgledhill4165 they’ll come! 💪🏽
I used to own a Pelagos 42, at the end of the day the Titanium ended up not working for me, it’s the matte color that made me stop wearing it, I bought a BB58 and couldn’t be happier, even the finishing I think it’s a little bit better and more refined. Cheers.
The FXD already has my money and I love it :) Its different and that's its appeal to me. All great watches, Keep up the good work
Solid comparison here. The Pelagos 39mm is excellent and shows up as a Ti alternative to the Submariner for a lot less money. I’m a huge Omega fan, but have to admit the Pelagos 39 is a major threat to the Seamaster also. I think Omega needs to look at that and consider pricing decisions or release a Seamaster 200 or something to avoid Tudor drinking the milkshake.
Yeah, it’s definitely a less “bling” alternative to both the Rolex and Omega offerings.
Stark and austere, like yours truly, the 39, was my next purchase……until Sinn announced the T50.
Ahhh I love it! The P39 is calling me in too!
I ❤️ The Pelagos Range.
Right?!?! I feel like I could make an entire video gushing about the Pelagos range!
That would be unreal. I have a few Tudor Watches now. They never disappoint. I bought my husband a few years ago, the Pelagos LHD. Gorgeous time peace, which I love to pinch every once in a while. Lol
Tudor Pelagos 39mm is the best watch there by a long way!
FXD and Pelagos 39 are a huge step down from the Pelagos LHD imho.
Totally flat dial/rehaut make them too boring. Also the slight vintage creme colored indices and hands on the LHD, add character. The new one looks to sterile, to have character.
Out of those three, i'd chose the 58 by a mile.
Check out Sinn's release for 2023 called T50 in titanium. Think you'll like that one too.
Ouuuu I need to check out more Sinns!
I try to keep my collection small and in order to get a lot of variety don’t usually have multiple watches of the same brand. However I really really want to buy both the FXD and P39. Despite the similar dial layouts, I feel like they are different enough in their general feel that both could fit in a small collection. The FXD has its weirdly cool and cooly weird military design, and the P39 is just a perfect and I love how lightweight it would be on bracelet
I'm sorry but a watch that costs as much as the 39 should not be grade 2 titanium. I buy large nails/bowls for dabbing cannabis extracts that are grade 5 titanium and cost no more than $90... Two, MAYBE three of them would be around the same amount of metal as present in a watch + bracelet. The design is fantastic, gorgeous, but grade 2 titanium on a many thousand dollar watch in 2022-2023 is a complete joke. It's not "expensive", grade 2 titanium is cheap, barely more than low quality SS. Grade 5 is expensive, and actually a nice alloy. The only thing expensive about grade 2 it the difficulty in machining it.
Hi Britt, The FXD (MN21 specifically) and P39 are in a completely different class to the BB58 IMO.
The P39 is pretty much a P40, and even the head honcho of Tudor UK had to go and check it was actually Tudors first 21mm lug width when I asked him to confirm, so that's really the spec you need to be mentioning.
Grade 5 Ti is never going to be found in a Tudor (Only Rolex) due to Hans Wilsdorfs reason for founding the brand (In London, England, like Rolex).
The P39 is sooooo far from boring lol. Its the best release of 2022 ;)
The Fake (lets call them what they are) rivets are why the bracelet has very little micro adjust and therefor does not fit a lot of people.
Pelagos Steel is my prediction for W&W 2023 😈
I’ve got a big birthday coming up this year and 99% planning on buying a Tag Monaco…. but… If I get to see a Pelagos IRL… you never know what might happen. :-)
Agree with the bb58 bracket. But a good hack it to buy a Ranger watch and swop the bracelet over.
TIM JACKS IS HERE!! 💕💕 and I sooo need to get ahold of a Tudor ranger bracelet!
When I saw the P39 came out I instantly knew it would just kill all the other Tudor diver lineups. I am so glad my BB58 is the gilt version with the vintage vibe that P39 can’t touch or I wouldve been tortured by the thoughts of selling the BB58 and getting the P39…
Love your vids, Britt!
The FXD. I love the MN version but have the black one. I previously owned both BB58s and a Submariner and sold each one because the polished cases, glossy dials, gold/metal surrounds were not toolish enough. I also love military (inspired) watches with fixed lugs like the Marathon Navigator and monobloc* cases like the plastic Timex Camper. I’m not a bracelet-type of guy - too much metal. The fact that the dial references the original Snowflake MN watches sold me on it. The dull finish of the titanium is exactly what I wanted - even better than bead-blasted steel. Despite all this, I love certain details on vintage Submariners and the bevels/chamfers** are really satisfying to see.
*probably misused the word
**the only thing I’ve ever read about the difference between beveling and chamfering left me even more confused so if you know, please explain it.
Hello WG great video i love Tudor the choice is difficult cause i love Tudor cause this brand remember me the combat swimers of french navy. I choose the FXD love you
Cedric is here!!!
@@BrittPearceWatches choose between those models are hard. My father have worn a Tudor Submariner during his military time on french navy in 68 but not autorized to keep the watch cause the watch was a part of his personal package
I really do need to find a 39 to try on, but it's really cool. The red text is just chef's kiss. I would love to see a blue one. That might be a shut up and take my money release, assuming they executed it well. I really don't mind the rivets on the BB, but absolutely think it's a crime against humanity that they've not updated the rest of the BB line with the T-fit clasp.
Awesome video Gringa!! I just picked up my Tudor Black Bay Pro on rubber last week after an 8 week wait.. I too am a big Tudor fan boy now 👍🏻👍🏻
What what whaaaat! Biggest congrats EVER on owning the BB Pro! What a watch!
I personally like the original Pelagos 42 as the 39 looks too small on me. It is a little thicker but the dial is much more interesting compared to the 39. A more 3D face with a date. Can not go wrong with either but my vote is for the 42.
I vote for the BB58 in blue which I have. I have the same complaints you do about the bracelet but solved it by wearing mine on a silicone strap.
You inspired me to wear my blue BB58 this week, thank you!
I wish someone made a watch, wherr the minute hand ticks over, instead of gradually moving. Im yet to see any watch like this exisiting.
Jumping minute hand watch? They exist
Cartier tank does.
It'd be the Breitling Superocean for me, tried the BB58 and I unfortunately didn't feel it.
Oh yeah and the IWC Aquatimer too.
Oh the new SO?! Or the old ones?! (I love both! 😜 so no wrong answers!)
@@BrittPearceWatches Honestly same here haha, I do think the new one looks funkier though
Youm might want to ccheck out the Pelagos LHD . I love mine.
Gah! I’m just sized out of the pelagos! 😅 as much as I love it and wish I wasn’t!
'does the pope shit in the woods?" just awesome lol
He does when out camping.
Bahaha I was sooo worried people wouldn't get it! ^_^ I'm so glad it landed ok1
Britt, have a look at the Forstner Model O bracelet for your BB58, I’ve added one to my BB41, no rivets, more micro adjustments and a clever spring loaded link system , I’ve added one to my seamaster 300 I like it that much!
Ouuu I will look into this tonight!
As already written below, you can’t go wrong with any of these. Bought my BB58 Black at Christmas and not stopped wearing it since. Totally agree with you on the GMT/Diver preference. Nice video.
FXD for me, the ultimate tool for anyone that’s not going to deep
Nice job lining up the second hands @britt
Unusual attention to detail from Gringa 😂😂😂
Trying to step it UP over here! 😅
I am not a Rolex or Tudor guy but that Peligos is so sweet! Unfortunately I am not a Nato strap guy. Sorry, no Timmies comments today.
The Pelagos 39 is a stunner no doubt. But I disagree about the Ti being a justification for the price. Some microbrands offer reasonably well finished titanium watches, even with scratch resistance coating, at around a $ 500 price point. The BB58, especially the blue is still my favourite one out of these three. If Tudor were to upgrade the BB58 to a T-fit clasp and perhaps a non-riveted bracelet, I wonder how this would affect the secondary market price of the BB58...
I have the BB58, well, my daughter has it on permanent loan, which was never my plan; anyway, what can you do? I also have the P39; what a watch! After I bought the BB Pro, I sold my 2002 Rolex sub no date; it felt really cheap. I love the fact that I CAN BUY TUDOR watches, more importantly, I can buy 3 for the price of one Rolex which is INSANE!
Not to annoy anyone, but my solution to this difficult choice has been to bankrupt myself and buy all three. In addition to my BB58 Black and Bronze. I may have a problem… but on the upside, I have an amazing collection of modern Tudors. Which I love. Perhaps too much. Anyway, another great video Gringa, keep ‘em coming!
Excellent comparison video, Brit 👏
I recently turned down an offer to get the Pelagos 39 after seeing it, and I am sort of regretting it now after watching your video, lol.
Whaaaat! Why did you turn it down?! :O I am sure it was the right choice!
@Britt Pearce I mean, after tax, the watch comes out to be about 5000 USD. That's a lot of money to put towards something you're not head over heels for. I will purchase if it comes out in a different color besides black.
I still love my bb58 blue the most! I had the Pelagos39 several times on my wrist, but it didn''t spoke to me! The FXD is another animal! 😉
The BB58 blue will always be pure magic! 💙
BB58 black is so special and well balanced
I love your enthusiasm in what you do. It’s what brings me back to your videos. They are a joy to watch. I’ve been doing my research and was originally set on a black bay 58, I felt it fit my 7.5inch wrist best, but I was disappointed with the rivet bracelet and hard to grip aluminum bezel. The pelagos 39 seems to be the answer for me, with the only things that might steer me away is that I think the bb58 can be dressed up and be worn with a suit much easier than the pelagos. I also like the smaller clasp on the 58, but I really don’t know how bad the larger clasp on the pelagos will fit until I get both on my wrist and try them out. Thanks for videos, look forward to more and more in the future
I have all 3. I put the Tudor ranger steel bracelet on the BB58 blue. No rivets, and microfit adjustment.
I’m so glad that Papi got the FXD! It’s quite possibly my favourite Tudor watch. I think I’m the only person on the planet who’s not bowled over by the Pelagos 39.
3 generations of the GMT Master you say? I wonder who helped you with that? 😂 (drop me a text if you need added details on them)
I’m not bowled over by it either… I think the ratio of bezel thickness to dial size is off (for my taste!)
@@watchpapi precisely, plus the OG was designed with a rehaut to hide the fact the moment is too small for the case and now they’ve cut that out it looks weird to me.
I don’t really like light watches. I can put up with it in the FXD but I’ve always preferred more weight. Even if I won the lottery I don’t think I could bring myself to buy an RM! Tried on a platinum day date the other day and it blew my socks off.
Instead of getting a brand new watch, get a Tudor ranger bracelet and put it on the BB58! Trust me it’s the best combo!
P39 followed by the FXD! I'm addicted to titanium! Also, thanks for getting your husband to wear the watches as well. I was surprised with how well the FXD fit him. Hmmm...
Gah! RIGHT?! I feel the same at the moment!
I know not in the same price point but a comparison of the Christopher Ward Trident 300 and the Tudor would be nice!
Another great video this week, very good comparison of all three pieces. Of the three, I would definitely go Pelagos 39. Great size, titanium, top notch dial aesthetics - and a reasonable price to boot.
While I have toyed with the idea of acquiring a Pelagos 39 as my first foray into the Tudor brand - I have doubts it could compete with the Seiko SBDC109, aka Captain Willard, as the top "tool" dive watch is my collection.
Salty is here!!! You know! I’ve had a few commenters say they aren’t fussed for a tudor as they are happy with their Seikos! I need to get hands on with more Seiko!
@@BrittPearceWatches Well, even if I didn't favor my Seiko Captain Willard; my love of all things Omega would probably lead me to pick up a white dial Seamaster 300m over a Tudor. Fun fact - just yesterday got the silver dial Omega Globemaster (2018) and highly recommend checking it out.
I am running out of thumbs up. Need a Breitling B09 Premier pistachio for review.
Gah! I just need to get hands on with one! I would absolutely LOVE to do this review!
Great video Britt! Will be interesting to see what Tudor has at W&W for 2023
I own a TUDOR GMT. Having said that, would love a “BB58Blue” in 41mm but not as tall as the existing BB 41mm. And would also love a GMT in 39mm… Does this make any sense?
I have the FXD and love it. I really like the Pelagos but its larger brother.
I regret turning down the Pelagos 39, but then I have a BB, BB58 and Pelagos, so struggled to see the 39 fit. I found the 39 dial / glass didn't work at the time. Re straps, I've fitted Everest straps on my BB and it's brilliant.
That is a pretty healthy Tudor collection! 😜✨
@@BrittPearceWatches a bit too many tbh. I actually picked up the Ranger instead of the Pelagos 39
The original plan was to ditch two Tudor watches for the 39, but I wasn’t overwhelmed enough
Interesting video.
Putting the three watches next to each other was a really interesting exercise. They are all so similar.
I would propose that the BlackBay line is the odd man out. Somewhat redundant vs. the new watches (ie Pelagos pieces) that Tudor has introduced.
If Tudor did get rid of the Black Bay line (both heritage and 58), the Pelagos, new Ranger and soon to be changed 1926 / Glamour (?) line could fill the gap (from a product perspective).
Interesting idea!! 🤔
