You are very welcome. Thank you for viewing.

This video is arguably the crispiest video I have ever had the pleasure of viewing. Sub and Pelagos are both outstanding watches. Tough choice. Slightly different dynamic, however, very very close. Well done video.

Crisp like the dial of this watch

There's a flip lock on the clasp, just pull that up!

The rolly will still be worth at least what you bought it for 10 years from now, the Tudor will not.

@@bauerfilms4832 Nah ...Either will because fewer and fewer are buying watches.

@@paulvon2378 Rolex’s 3+ year waiting list says otherwise.

@@bauerfilms4832 today it is true but won't be in 10 years

@@paulvon2378 your basing that assumption on what?

why would you own both. no point there

Fun fact: a 124060 is just called a sub (as the original and first submariner never had a date). It's the date sub that you need to append "date" to it. So you basically just have "a submariner". The best and most iconic one :)

That’s great Chris ! I’m happy you have the pelagos 39 , it’s a great watch

@ChrisMarshall1978007 thank you. Maybe someday I'll get an older 14060 with tritium dial and creamy lume. But for now, extremely happy. Haven't even wanted to rotate it out with the other watches for weeks now.

@@chrisanderson5369 that means it’s a keeper 😎

I ended up in the same boat; a Submariner at retail didn't seem realistic for me, but I still ended up waiting 9 months for the Pelagos 39. That said, when I objectively review what I want in a dive watch; 1) good bezel action, 2) strong lume and 3) adjustable on-the-fly clasp, the Pelagos delivers. While I'm still in the honeymoon phase, I do think this satiates what I thought I wanted out of a Submariner.

I couldn’t agree more ! Thanks for watching

Thank you

For me the 39 is probably the best looking watch, ever.

Thank you

Agreed 💯

@@bodong7 no not at all

BB58? 58 is Stainless Steel, no crown guards, more retro in appearance, matt dial, has a red accent on the bezel pip. Has an aluminium bezel insert, faux rivets on the sides of the bracelet, pretty much the same movement as the Pelagos 39. It also has a domed sapphire crystal. The Pelagos has a radial dial and bezel insert, is more toolish and is thoroughly modern in appearance and is, in my opinion, infinitely superior as a result. If you can afford a Pelagos 39, just get one. It's a modern classic. The only reason I can see for not buying it, is if you like to have a date complication. It's amazing!

Pelagos is Titanium with ceramic bezel. No black bay has either of these. Its made to look modern as opposed to the retro style of the black bay line. I like the 42mm original Pelagos better than this 39mm version personally.

The Pelagos is Tudors modern interpretation of a dive watch. The BB 58 (and 54, and the Heritage and probably some others!) are basically homages to the classic divers of old.

@@itsallrobbishif you want a date you just take the pélagos 42mm…

Il faut faire attention à quelque chose de très important aujourd'hui. Rolex a augmenté sa production de montres de plus de 50 % soit, environ 1 500000 montres par an. Donc, il vont pouvoir alimenter leurs réseaux plus facilement dans les mois à venir Les prix dans le marché gris vont baisser énormément. Rendez vous compte du nombre de montres Rolex dans le monde. C'est complétement fou. Ca devient la montre de tout le monde.

​@lucmoreau4761 50% ?!?!?!?! 🤣 Where did you read that?

Sell it and buy one then.

@@fontyyyit was my father’s. It’s an heirloom. Nope.

Agreed. I sold my 80s Sub and now own a new Pelagos 42. There are far too many Sub copies (and homages) out there nowadays, and even the new Subs seem somewhat passe nowadays.

@@casperskestrel I'm inclined to agree, I did a deal with a friend recently which saw me get his GMT Master 2 (pepsi bezel, jubilee bracelet), it's a tad small on my wrist I think and I've had to add a couple of horrid not gen links to it. But I've been wearing it for about 10 days now, and I think I could keep it as my daily wear (over my Starbucks Sub). That's a shift in my mind over the past year or two, a Sub was the watch I always wanted. That's changed for some reason.

personally I loved the light weight.... made it a very comfortable wear.

It’s not that much lighter in weight. In fact, surprisingly heavy for titanium. The Pelagos 42 is hefty and is an outstanding and versatile watch.

@@georgetown8986 full links the Pelagos 39 weighs only 107gms which is great if you like lightweight watches. By comparison the petite Tudor 54 weighs 139gms and Tudor BB58 weighs 145gms.

@@dellwright1407 Do you happen to have the weight of the 42 Pelagos?

@@georgetown8986 According to Mr.Google its 157gms... quite hefty in comparison.

Yes it’s a better fit and more comfortable due to that extra give

@@ChrisMarshall1978007 and we love our skx007 for that!

Chamfers my friend and it’s exciting

Totally agree....best looking diver on the planet.

Pas d’accord… rolex reste rolex… plus classe…

Own both and it does! Love my 14060M but it's a rattly old watch!

​@@itsallrobbishbetter looking than a 5513 with a ghost bezel or a 124060? Youre smoking some good stuff arent you?

Zero back play in any of the watches I've handled. You must be lucky!

@@NeoWahNah must just the three I’ve looked at. Mines currently away getting repaired.

Mine blue Pelagos have a zero bezel play. And I bought it second hand three year old watch ...

😂

@@jamesestrada82 the model 14060m always had hollow end links up until model 114060 . Don’t be confused with date model 16610 which later models had solid end links ! Thank you

@@jamesestrada82 before you comment, you need to do a lot more research and look at all the models I’ve been doing this for over 20 years. I happen to know a lot about this stuff thank you so much.

@@ChrisMarshall1978007 I stand corrected. And you are correct in that I was basing my comment off of the 16610 model with date. Admittedly, I’ve never owned a 14060 no date Sub. My assumption was incorrect. That said, you don’t need to be snarky or condescending with your reply. Especially when I’m man enough to admit I was wrong.

@@jamesestrada82 it’s a ok 👌 sorry to seem snarky but when someone says they have a frankenwatch that’s a serious allegation to a collector.

Understood. I definitely hesitated to make that allegation. My apologies. ✌🏼

Yes definitely overrated! I would buy the Tudor

@@ChrisMarshall1978007 my desire for that model in general is just not there now bro lol but yea I like the all blue Tudor lol it’s titanium also , its badass

That would be nice but I don’t believe it would ever happen. I think it would’ve already.

Same here

Give me the Tudor over the Rolex! Rolex is for old men.

That’s why they have a regular size Pelagos

The reviewer shows it on a 7.5 wrist and I thought it looked perfect. Now, that is a big wrist. I changed my mind that it would look too small.

I owned a 42 Pelagos and loved it

But the Rolex is old, a 124060 is the Rolex to compare with the Pelagos.

On the upside there is no waitlist for the Tudor and it's available new at a reasonable price. If you want a sub you have quite a long wait at an AD... where you'll also need a purchase history. Or pay way over retail which is galling. Personally I prefer the Pelagos, its lighter, less bling, more friendly looking, more contemporary tool watch vibe rather than the baggage that comes with Rolex. I also prefer the Pelagos to the Black Bay 58 for the same reasons.
