sardonix Posted June 29, 2012 Report Posted June 29, 2012 Spotted the first real life pics. I like it! List in EU about 3300 euro More at C L I C K....
Guest zeleni kukuruz Posted June 29, 2012 Report Posted June 29, 2012 I like it! Shouldent be that hard to rep, but the bracelet will be hard to rep
Justasgood Posted June 29, 2012 Report Posted June 29, 2012 Looks like a Seiko/invicta/Sandoz. Give me vintage all day over these abominations.
mrandazzo Posted June 29, 2012 Report Posted June 29, 2012 I should not buy another Tudor. I really shouldn't. Must save for gen GMT! You guys are tempting me!
mrandazzo Posted June 29, 2012 Report Posted June 29, 2012 Looks like a Seiko/invicta/Sandoz. Give me vintage all day over these abominations. I know, this is a rape. They are sourcing form the past... But you know what? My bet is that this raped [censored] will be the next vintage in 20 years. Other than that the bracelet is nice, titanium stuff and looks like a modern retro. The same reason why I bought a Tudor Heritage :-)
woof* Posted June 29, 2012 Report Posted June 29, 2012 Looks like a Seiko/invicta/Sandoz. Give me vintage all day over these abominations. I like it. To my eyes it's nowhere the mess the new Rolex's with their supercase-ceramic-oversize-compete-with omega watches they have been cranking out. I don't like the deep sea either. Massive watch with puny band. These new Tudors at least are balanced looking.
sardonix Posted June 29, 2012 Author Report Posted June 29, 2012 I think they made some great designs with those new models. I considder to buy the Heritage one day they are around 2500 euro used in EU And match up great with a real vintage
blackdice Posted June 30, 2012 Report Posted June 30, 2012 OH [censored]! the red bay is so much nicer!!
lhooq Posted June 30, 2012 Report Posted June 30, 2012 I like the Pelagos a lot. Much more than the Black Bay, in fact. But when I consider the list price of CAD 3950, I think about all the vintage watches I might buy for the same amount! I'm holding out for a blue version...
gavidoc Posted June 30, 2012 Report Posted June 30, 2012 First chance I get I'm zipping up to Montreal to get a black bay. I like it more then the Pelagos.

StormTooper4 Posted June 30, 2012 Report Posted June 30, 2012 Its a cracker of a watch for sure Gonna be hard to get that dial right and that clasp might be a challenge
Mapman57 Posted June 30, 2012 Report Posted June 30, 2012 WOW - that clasp looks more complex that the Steptronic transmission in my car And look at the rear shape of those CG's - cant wait for the GZ boys to take them on
lhooq Posted June 30, 2012 Report Posted June 30, 2012 buddy black bay or red bay? =D And there is a blue version coming out? A few sites were calling it the Tudor Black Ray when it was first announced, so I'm no tgoing to add to that confusion! What I meant was that I would like to see a Pelagos with blue dial and bezel. It seems like a logical next step.
GBOGH Posted June 30, 2012 Report Posted June 30, 2012 It's definitely on my list, but may have to go with a used one in a year or two. I love the design, but really hard to spend $4k USD on something with just a 2824 inside. I can get those movements brand new sealed for <$200. Can't tell me the rest of that watch is worth the rest.
TeeJay Posted June 30, 2012 Report Posted June 30, 2012 I like it, but... The redesign is unnecessary... The Black Bay is a unique watch in its own right, sure it is a fusion of other watches, but it is still a unique combination, the Pelagos is no more than a homage watch with an over-engineered clasp The Pelagos is a bit like seeing your sister in a bathing suit, thinking "Nice ass...", and then remembering it's your sister Gonna be hard to get that dial right Matte varnish should handle it easily enough

I think the Pelagos has far more new features (the aforementioned clasp, the titanium construction, ceramic/luminescent bezel, HEV), and makes a better case of being viewed as an all-new design.

I do see your point, M, I just feel, as mentioned above, that there're too many similarities to other watches, like Seiko etc, for it to really stand on its own as a new design, and too many innovations for it to be considered a 're-issue', like the Heritage was for the 7032. It's not that I don't like it, it just doesn't quite sit right for me, hense my other comment
GBOGH Posted June 30, 2012 Report Posted June 30, 2012 The Pelagos is a bit like seeing your sister in a bathing suit, thinking "Nice ass...", and then remembering it's your sister I don't quite agree with you regarding the Pelagos, but I'll give you props for a funny analogy.
TeeJay Posted June 30, 2012 Report Posted June 30, 2012 Oh, I get it. You just hate Seikos! I think more than anything, it's the consumerist aspect of the watch which I also object to. There was nothing wrong with the Snowflake, or the 7032, or the 16610, yet Tudex Co feel the need to keep releasing new versions just to get more revinue (I know, I know, that's the point of business ) But it's a bit like Gilette competing against themselves with each new razor released, which at the end of the day, is still just a razor and probably just as good as the original, and I think with the Pelagos, had they felt the need to re-issue the Snowflake, they could've kept the designs a little more 'in house', as with the Black Bay, which is just a shuffle of existing design elements, but still an attractive watch in its own right I don't quite agree with you regarding the Pelagos, but I'll give you props for a funny analogy. It's not that I don't like it, more a case of I feel like I shouldn't
