    I mentioned this in the Pelagos Part 1 review but not a deciding factor in choosing between the 2 watches.... The lug width! 21 on the P39 and 20 on the BB58! If you love your strap changes this could be important? Thanks for watching all!!!

      I think P39 should only be worn on the supplied bracelet and strap, OR, Marine Nationale parachute strap by NDC which comes in 21mm. So problem solved.

      They should have included a removal tool for the bracelet, or quick release pins considering that it comes with a rubber strap in the box. That's my biggest criticism.

      Also the pelagos fxd has been being tested by seal team 6 for the last year. They have custom text and strap colors based on squadron (red, blue, silver and gold) that’s why they added the extra seconds dashes on the bezel. Few images were leaked and the swiftly taken down.

    I think you’re right, I’d go with the BB58 also because of its retro style and the lovely warm gold lettering on the dial. The Pelagos as wonderful as it is is just too close to a Submariner and at its price point I’d be looking at a Breitling Superocean as well, both of which aren’t like a 58. Great show as always, cheers MWC :-)

      Totally agree. Clasp size is the biggest annoyance to me (small wrist) as you have to play with the number of links on each side to center the clasp on the below side of the wrist. Additionally, as it is big, the centering of the clasp on the wrist overpowers the centering of the watch on the otherside and this can push the case to the side.

      Completely agree Rob, and as someone who does a bit of diving and uses a watch as a backup to the D. C., I and just about anyone I've ever dived with tend to swap the bracelet for a rubber strap. Much easier than trying to fiddle around with divers extensions that often fail to fit exactly as needed over the suit anyway. I would always choose no extension. 👍

    Love this comparison show MWC!
    Both are sadly out of my price range but I’d go for the Pelagos 39 if I had the money in my watch piggy bank. Titanium doesn’t do anything for me but I love the monochrome colourway of the Pelagos which is only interrupted by that awesome red line of text and I’ve never really been a fan of the gilt hand and indeces which are a real signature of the Black Bay.
    Either would make a fantastic addition to any collection though!

    • @antonylaing2499
      @antonylaing2499 Рік тому +2

      Have you thought about the Citizen Challenge diver it's a fifth of the price of the Pelagos 39?
      I sold my Tudor Black Bay 58 as in my opinion the quality wasn't good enough for the price and the brand is over-rated, as it's usually falsely assumed to be a true manufacturer. The value for me didn't stack up, as I've paid more and got more and paid less and got more.
      After I shifted the BB58, I bought a couple of Sinns and the Citizen Challenge diver. I don't feel any urge to pursue the Pelagos 39, my Citizen keeps better time than the BB58 did, it's made of titanium and as far as everyone around me is concerned they're both just retro diver's watches.

    Totally agree! I much prefer the BB58 look. The clasp, the look and weight of steel, the dial and bezel, the lume, etc. Everything I prefer on the 58. The Pelagos is technically a better watch and the price shows that. But I’m design first so it’s the 58 for me. You can find them lightly used for under $3000 now. The Pelagos is hard to find new and over retail used.

    • @finenavaljewelry5798

      The lesson with any new Tudor is wait 2 years and buy new at retail or slightly under, or preowned under retail. I remember when BB58 Blue came out, it was like gold. Now you can walk into pretty much any AD and they have them in stock on the bracelet.

    I think I would go for a Black Bay 58 in blue over either of these. The Pelagos 39 is a little dry and modern for my tastes (although I love the titanium), and the 58 in the black and gold color way looks a little old fashioned. I suppose my preferences lie somewhere in the middle.

    Another top video Russel. Some of my stubby thoughts (a couple of escaped neurons hit each other and formed a thought). If you have a BB58, keep it, they are brilliant. If you don't have either then whichever one you get you'll be pondering that you got the wrong one and may well consider saving up for the other, although I would not sell one to get the other or you'd be back to the start of the sentence. As you mention both are different enough to live in the same collection, the difficulty here is which one joins the collection first. At risk of my brain collapsing in on itself another thought just registered. It might be worth adding the older bigger Pelagos into the mix. I have the LHD that echoes older times but could that live with a 39 as well? They are quite different in appearance and wear. Less so the RHD.

    I’d say neither. the pelogos 39 left me cold as it’s lost a lot off the charm off the original, it might be better if we get a more tool like look and a date, I think I would always be thinking I should have gone for the original and best version.
    I fall for the black bay 58 a bit more every time I see it but in 2023 there is no excuse for not having on the fly adjustment and it must be just a matter off time, give it a clasp like the BBpro and it would be superb.
    For now I feel the BBpro has them both beat but if they put a date on the 58 I may change my mind.

    Does that long slab like clasp stop the watch from rolling around the wrist by any chance? I tried both on. I fell in love with the black bay black. I am quite tall and have a 7.7" wrist. I tried on the Pelagos and my immediate reaction was this would look good with a lab coat, looking at it, is very clinical looking and cold, nothing warm and fuzzy like you say. I love your reviews. You have fun, but It's all about the watch and not egocentric as many reviews/reviewers are. It is about how the watch makes you feel as well as how close to perfection it is with regard to build. Looks and personality :) You are very good at describing both.

    Great video. I agree with everything you’ve said here. I own both watches and both are amazing. I feel the P39 is a better every day watch, for casual wear. I always felt the BB58 looked a bit too dressy at times, but I think the BB58 is the more versatile of the two watches. You can wear it casual, but you can also dress it up in a more formal setting.
    One of the major improvements for me is the T-fit clasp. My P39 fits the wrist so well, and I could never get the BB58 to fit perfectly.
    The biggest indicator of which watch is right for me is how much wrist time they are getting. At the moment it is all P39. This might be due to the P39 being newer, but I’ve hardly had my BB58 on since buying the P39.

    One of things that spoil the BB58 for me is the protruding crown, it looks like the stem is too long & they had to put a washer behind it. Crown guards win. The non edged hour markers on the Pelagos aren’t as good as the BB’s. Aluminium vs Ceramic insert & one dot of lume on the BB, Pelagos wins. Better clasp size BB, better functioning clasp Pelagos. There’s always something to pick at. Good review!

What I would do next is get a Tudor Ranger as a field watch, put the Ranger bracelet on the BB58 (has the T-fit clasp and no fake rivets) and wear the Ranger on a NATO strap. That fixes everything!

    Fully agree. These are two quite different watches, serving different corners of the market.
    I for one like the 58 (which I own) better, precisely because it has a vintage Submariner feel to it. And, not being a diver, I don’t really care about diver’s extension or luminous bezel insert.

    Great review. It's a toughie....i love the full brush on the Pelagos case, but it's too light for my liking.
    The BB58 of which I have 2, is prettier to look at and would look better fully brushed.
    Under the covers, it's the same kiddie, so depends if you want refined or tool like.
    Weighing it up, the BB58 only just tips the scale.

    I think the square markers on the pelagos look much better with the snowflake hand than circular markers. The 58 has a clash of geometric shapes in my opinion

  • @emaeder18

    If anyone wants a feel of an all titanium watch without breaking the bank, some Casio Lineage models can be had for ~ 200 €/$ ; the difference with steel makes a world of difference, truly an eye opener, one way or another whether one likes it or not (I know now I vastly prefer titanium). Also of consideration, more than 95% of the world's entire titanium production happens in Russia, and many industries are now facing sourcing problems. So in all likeliness, titanium might very well be renamed unobtainium real quick (the aviation industry gobbles the stuff like there's no tomorrow, and their pockets are deeper than yours). So if you like titanium, grab some now, prices are going to sky rocket.

    I don't get it. The 58, the 39 (and the U50) are all slightly smaller versions of another watcher. OK. The difference is 3mm. 3mm is less than 1/8 of an inch. You cannot actually SEE the difference unless you hold them side by side.

    • @THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR
      @THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR  Рік тому +1

      Trust me , take a look at my U1/U50 show. There’s a huge difference . The 500m Pelagos is very big , it’s a slab on the wrist. If you don’t notice it in diameter your gonna notice it in height off the wrist TRUST ME

      It’s an interesting point my friend. I own the OG and the blue 58. I did not buy them thinking about the sell value. I would say right now as there maybe less of them in the world the Pelagos 39 may hold better value but titanium maybe a trend than isn’t enjoyed one day????

      @@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR this will be my first and probably only reasonable priced watch so it doesn't really matter. But the way my brain works seeing it dropping will still effect me. I'm leaning towards the Pelagos because of the clean black and white. If I could find a black bay in those colours I would get that. The ranger is a outside shout for me. I'm going to try them on next week. Annoyingly the only one that's lhd is the 42mm pelagos. Luckily I'm ambidextrous even though my left hand is much stronger. So I mite just have to suck it up and wear on my left hand. Thanks for the reply
