2 Months Later: Tudor Pelagos 39

2 Months Later: Tudor Pelagos 39 - Scratches?

Рет қаралды 132,047

Жыл бұрын

The Tudor Pelagos 39 has been in my collection for about two months now. I purchased it immediately after release, and my impressions have changed just a bit since I first got it. I wanted to review what about the watch is different with more time and answer some questions I've had since I picked it up.

Fact is if you wear a watch it's going to get scratched. Doesn't matter if it's a Patek, Rolex or Tudor, all are prone to scrathes. They are capable of lasting a lifetime. Just get them serviced once in a while. They're meant to be worn, not to be locked away in a safe.

@HarrisonElmore Жыл бұрын

Great review and glad you love it , great watch indeed . Picked mine up from my AD Thursday, they had only received two pieces since the day of release which is quite bonkers . Just to add my bezel is fantastic, it’s has a Rolex quality to the rotation and click. It’s a faultless beautiful watch which will be worn and scratched with pride . A great tool watch in my opinion . Just to add the bezel insert does look fantastic, grey then black as you move the watch and to be honest I haven’t noticed the dial being sunburst , just a lovely black .

@unbiasedreviews5978 Жыл бұрын

Two points you brought up here that I completely agree upon: First- Titanium grade 2 is more prone to scratches than grade 5. Most of the manufacturers use grade 2 and if there's scratches they'll be visible. Titanium is lighter, no argument about it but scratches on SS can be easily removed by just polishing. I've had a Titanium watch and no matter how Titanium oxidizes the scratches will remain visible. I'm not familiar how scratches on Titanium watch can be removed and if that will hurt the surface. I don't have problems with SS, since I've removed scratches before and it worked out perfectly for me. Second: the clasp- some people find it too wide and it'll depend on the wrist size to determine whether it'll look weird or not. If yes then the rubber strap should be used which btw is a nice treat. After all it's all about if you like the watch or not. Some watch fans are all about protection others don't mind the wear and tear. Whatever it is, enjoy your watch and use it in good health. Good review by the way!

I heard that when they are newer that stickiness can occur. FWIW, people that come here with a sticky bezel, once I got it worked out, I no longer have to push down to turn it. There is a catch mechanism at the 12 to help lock it in to avoid play, I assume. But now the thing clicks like a dream. My wife thinks I’m a weirdo bc she’ll randomly see/hear me turning the bezel lol

re: toughness of the bezel. I have really worked out my Pelagos 42, including hitting a big black steel post, while running at night. It was a massive clunk! There were bits of metal in the grip around the bezel, and my immediate thoughts were of how much this was going to cost. I got home, and picked the metal shards from the bezel grip with a safety pin, and noticed that the teeth were almost perfect. The metal shards were from the steel post, not from the Pelagos. The watch was not damaged except for some slight marks on the top of the grip teeth. To sum up, this is a tough watch. If you want a daily wearer, trust any Pelagos. Why would you want a overly shiny Rolex? The finish is cool, stealthy, and will last.

@timtim2949 11 ай бұрын

Note that the titanium on the 39 is not the same as the 42. The 42 is made with a harder grade of titanium and might just survive some more punishment than the 39. Good to hear about your watch, though.

@RedwoodAggie 11 ай бұрын

This is a great follow up video. I particularly enjoyed the bezel and light play discussion, as well as showing the "ghost" bezel look in the video. I absolutely loved this on my now 7" (was slightly bigger) wrist. I find the BB58 borderline small. Maybe it's the bezel being almost 40 that does it, but that and the lightness really gives it a vintage Sub feel on wrist. I was fortunate enough to try on a vintage Sub only a couple weeks after trying the P39 and was surprised at how similar they feel. Obviously the Tudor has a much more solid build quality than those old Rolex bracelets though. I really would love a blue version with those bezel characteristics and the same more tempered blue from the FXD. That would make me snap and text my AD.

It's a cool watch and a decent value for what it is, but I think they could have done better here.

For a real dive watch it lacks of a bezel you can easily read, especially when it is hit by sunlight coming through the surface when you are diving in the ocean. Therefore it is "just" a desk diver.

Great job capturing the ghosting bezel. Hopefully this style becomes a Tudor staple, like Rolex and the Sub. My worry with Tudor pieces, as you alluded to, is there’s always ‘the next thing’ at the moment. The BB Pro felt a bit out of date as soon as this dropped. Styles aren’t getting much time to settle into the range. Maybe this is Tudor just having a bit of a re-set and things will settle for a couple of years now, bar some colour/material changes.

I tried! Glad it came through. I think Tudor will keep doing what they're doing and rotating through watches and styles, discontinuing the stuff that doesn't work. I'd imagine in the end, their goal is to have a catalog like Omega where there's something for everyone. Then Rolex can keep to the core models while Tudor can play the everything is available game. Just a hunch based on the current rate of releases and how well that's working for them.

The BBPand the Pelagos are two different Watch styles with two significant features. You don’t buy a BBP if you want a diver lol. How could it be out of date when the Pelagos dropped?

Scotch Brite Gray Ultra Fine cleans up the titanium easily. I've cleaned my pelagos couple times

Well, the nice thing is that you can take 5-min with the green side of a dish sponge and remove most all the scratches on grade 2 titanium. :-) Unlike anything that is SS.

I never let my watches get polished, because then I have to apply the scratches all over again… And it begins the moment you wear the watch.

I would like to see you compare this to the FXD you reviewed.

Trouble would be getting the FXD back in to have them next to one another. Otherwise, I agree!

Oh man, my 16800 is older than that Exp, but looks better. Mine has 0 scratches on the case, only a few marks on the clasp. Yes, I pamper all my watches regardless the price tag.

During the lock down my bezel came off. If you come off you're not pouring it back on-period. There are ceramic bell bearings and springs and when it comes off poof! They gone

That dmg in 2 months? Wtf are you guys doing with ur watches... bashing it against door sills everyday? And Bezel getting knocked off... again what? There is no way you can hit the bezel and it just pops off... even with constant pulling force u cant get the bezel off. You need to pry it open. It is definitely not easy to knock the bezel off man.

I attack doors with the only tool I have…my Tudor Pelagos 39. These things must be done sometimes

Tip from a Swiss: just put WD40 spray... and your bezel will turn like butter..😊

I have the new aquaracer that has the almost same adjustment. What I find as a quirk for me and on this, the back part of the clasp can show and I keep getting paranoid it's going to catch on something.

@HarrisonElmore Жыл бұрын

Ahhh interesting. I suppose that's an issue with all watches with a clasp? Or is it because the last link can raise away from the clasp and show more of a gap?

@paulbonaventura4969 9 ай бұрын

It’s because the last link is almost a pivot and the clasp can angle up a little bit.

Are there refinishing options for a titanium watch?

@HarrisonElmore Жыл бұрын

There are. I’m researching some in-home options that aren’t too abrasive, but I haven’t tested anything yet

2 months? That clasp looks like it's been worn for 20 years. How did you scratch it so much? The ghosting bezel in light is one of the coolest things about this watch. Not of fan of the bezel overhanging the case though. I'm undecided on this watch, I guess I need to see it in person.

He wears this like a "beater" watch. He mentions in his initial review of the watch that he wears it while jogging, working, etc. So basically he is wearing the Pelagos 39 like a G-Shock, so the wear is definitely going to show. Most of us will be desk diving with the Pelagos 39 so the scratches will be minimal.
