Post subject: | New Tudor Pelagos... now goes in-house! |
Came across this today - http://monochrome-watches.com/introduci ... -movement/ The Pelagos is a superb watch (I tried one on a few weeks ago, and the fit and finish is excellent), but as I don't like paying the big-bucks for non-house movement equipped watches these days, I passed on it. But this new version now IS equipped with an in-house movement.....but the even better news is that it will apparently cost just $275 more than the out-going ETA-equipped model! ![]() Personally, I think the Pelagos is a far less obvious choice than a Submariner for a classic 3 hand diver... but now Tudor can finally compete in terms of movement too. Can't wait to try this one on when it's released in July. |

I think it's a great step forward. I also love the new blue color that came out. Pretty cool stuff! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Agree completely - and unfortunately makes the $9,000 for an in house Breitling three hander seem even more outrageous. |

Great looking watch! It looks especially good on the rubber strap with those endlinks. |

Now that is a properly priced 3 hander. Just slightly less than $9k..... |

Even the new in house North Flag is only priced around $3700 on the bracelet seems like a great deal. I'm a big fan of the blue Pelagos. I don't really need another blue dial but if I did, this would be first on my list. |

I think the Pelagos now takes the role the Sub used to have long ago, as the piece you actually take diving. And the minimal added cost of in-house is just amazing. I know Rolex has an infrastructure to do this like no other, but the difference makes every other big brand look silly or greedy. |

While I don't absolutely love it at first glance, I like and appreciate it. I think the hands are just a tad big for me however also realize that this is for the purposes of function, as big hands will help with actually being underwater. I guess I'm biased towards my PO, which I do actually use when diving. What I do appreciate is the in-house movement and price tag, which puts other brands to shame. I also think the black version is awesome, and would lean in that direction more than the blue. I do look forward to trying this one on in the flesh. |

Yes, I don't really warm to the design but absolutely agree with all the points made here about horological bang for buck. |

I find grade 2 a little too scratch-happy. Personally I find the new in-house Black Bays an even better proposition than the pelagos..... if you can live without a date of course. ![]() |
