Rolex has to use the same materials and for the money i totally agree.............nice click bait

I’ve owned a Pelagos LHD for the last two years and it’s a fantastic watch. It regularly gets compliments, more so than my Rolex, which I love but is very common to all finance bros, tech bros, lawyers and doctors. Each time you get on a plane, take a look at the wrists as you’re boarding. You’re typically gonna see several black subs on the way to your seat. Love it but unfortunately, there’s nothing special anymore about a standard black Rolex Submariner

When wearing my Tudor: "nice watch". When wearing my Rolex: "is it real or fake?"

I'm with Michael on this. Ignoring the price and brand, just looking at the watch and how it's built... the Pelagos beats the Sub. With the Rolex you're buying brand and status. With the Tudor you're buying a great watch. Also a correction, the movement in the Pelagos is a Tudor in-house movement, not at all related to ETA. I would argue it's a BETTER movement than the Rolex as it has a silicon balance spring, on top of the full balance bridge and 70 hour power reserve..

If people want to use sundial or their phone…… just do that. Simples 😉

I have been critical of past videos but credit is due for this one. One of the best videos so far even including the ad and finishing with Lange, what a beautiful piece.

Alot of people would choose pelagos over submariner. And not due to the Rolex's price hike but from sheer design and specs aspect.

I was on holiday in Sicily on a boat this week. I was talking to a Brit before we took our "banio" in the Tyrrhenian sea. Met a really nice English fellow named Steve. Our wives refused to dive in, Steve and I did while bobbing in a great body of water I said Steve I am a watch geek I think you have a GMT on a hard to tell the brand. He said its a BATMAN but I thought maybe a Pepsi BUT could not see any red and yes my eyes suck. I replied "yeah I have the "little brother a Tudor Pelagos" blue dial. He replied 'yeah I noticed it right away'.

Can’t wait to see the color(s) that they release for this model.

Loved how I was expecting one thing based on the title and then and then it shifted in the video. Awesome stuff!!

For the price you do get more with Tudor’s watches in general. But you can’t deny the history and status that the Sub has. For the same price, any reasonable person would take the Sub. But I don’t think it’s worth over twice as much at retail and three times as much in the market today. But out of these two watches, I’d probably stick with the BB58. The black gilt has more character than either in my opinion and it’s even cheaper than the Pelagos especially second hand. I’ve seen them on straps as low as $2,500 and on a bracelet as low as $2,800. That’s where I’d go and spend the difference on a nice dress watch and a GShock to complete a perfect 3 watch collection.

I really liked the Pelagos on paper but in the metal I was underwhelmed. The bezel action was really good and the size was nice on my wrist but damn it is so light! The lightness combined with what felt like quite a flimsy bracelet meant it felt like far less of a quality product than the Submariner. Granted they aren’t the same price but the Pelagos isn’t really a Submariner alternative. I would go Omega instead.

The narrative is that Tudor is a bit of a test bed for Rolex with their more adventurous and creative designs. Given that Tudor is leading the charge with 39's (and with much success); will be interesting to see whether Rolex begins migrating to smaller case sizes next year or the year after.

Sub is definitely dressier. And Christian needs to bring some numbers to the table on his alleged quality issue with the Pelagos bezel. And the warranty is plenty long with all new Tudors. Yeah, having to send a watch away for a while sucks - but hardly a catastrophe. But your ‘double the price’ - try 4 or 5x for the prevailing grey rates (new). Michael - the Shadow is kickass. 👍

I chose a BB58 over the Submariner and, yes, I could afford either. I could afford both. Submariner is a giant slab of expensive metal that didn't come in a size that fits my wrist.

Love the Peli but proportions always felt a touch off to me

I bought an LHD titanium, so far it has been really good, the weekend I prefer Omega Mark 40.

The Tudor being better than the sub is like say that a woman that a 6 is better than a woman that's a 8 because with the 6 you've have the chance to give her some bedroom action whereas with the 8.....you'll be waiting until they give away free pork sausages in Mecca and Tel Aviv.....

The Tudor Pelagos 42 is an absolutely classically / timeless watch.

Pelagos vs old five digit subs wins by far. The new Sub is on another level, but old ones aren’t even comparable…

Great video guys. Keep them coming. Here's my two cents. If you want to say the sub is better looking, has a finer pedigree, is more reliable, or that it's "more luxurious" you can make those arguments. But if you say the sub is jewelry and the pelagos isn't, I don't think that argument holds water. If the primary difference between the Pelagos and the Sub is that the Sub is a piece of jewelry then the Tudor is what? A tool watch? A function first, no-BS reliable watch whose primary purpose is to be legible, waterproof, and accurately measure elapsed time while diving? Ok but by the way, it costs 4500 dollars. There goes the no-frills argument. Try explaining that to a non-watch person diver and you might get a funny look. There are any number of dive computers and quartz watches that do all of those things better for a few hundred bucks or less. The reason it costs 4500 dollars is that its a well made mechanical time piece bringing you not just rugged dive-watch functionality but also swiss tradition, brand pedigree, and a handsome luxurious (sub the word "expensive" if you feel that term doesn't apply here) aesthetics. In other words "jewelry." In other words, BS. I'm a diver. Among the watches I own are a tudor diver, a rolex diver, and 2 or 3 dress watches as well. I love them all for what they are. But let's be real. What they are is jewelry.

Having tired on both, I prefer the Pelagos 39... lighter, less bling, more tool watch, contemporary design. The only downside is there is only the no-date version as yet in 39mm.

I love the Pelagos 39, but let's face it, aside from the clasp, it's not even better than the BB58, let alone the Sub.

I can’t see someone buying one of these two watches for diving. I’ll take the Rolex all day every day

Hey @tudorwatch, make an LHD in 39m if you're reading this. Keep the same color scheme, matt dial, creme/beige markers, red text and dates, and the same proportions. You can drop the helium escape valve and water resistance but keep everything else the same, and it's my ideal watch. The 42m watch immaculates men with smaller wrists when it's supposed to accentuate their masculinity. Watches are like suits. Too small, and you look feminine. Too big, and you look like you're a child. Just right, and there's magic. The Pelagos LHD is a modern-day Sean Connery Bond watch. The tan markers add a sense of strength; the matt dial and titanium materials are the best available, and the LHD keeps the watch purely functional, even for right-handed people who don't need the crown digging into the back of their hands. Please keep it going.

Did anybody else catch Christian use the word "Pelagi" as plural for "Pelagos"? And did anyone else think it was as funny as I did? 🤣

I love the way Americans pronounce foreign names.

The Pelegos is another really well thought of and creative watch by Tudor, continuing to innovate when some brands *cough *cough aren’t. Rather than currently just changing colors and being incredibly hard to get ;)

For what these watches are for - diving/active wear. Any diver would go with a Pelagos first. Yes, if you ask watch nerds that foam at the mouth for the Rolex name/allure, of course you would pick a Rolex. I had an 114060 and sold it because I enjoyed wearing watches like a Turtle in most occasions.

I wouldn't get the Rolex again. I do regret selling my OP39 blk. That was a great everyday watch.

I don't think Tudor will ever beat Rolex not by product or branding. Here's why Tudor is for people who love Rolex watch design, its DNA or owned Rolex watches before, but hate how the brand + AD handling customer nowadays. Tudor is always be the love letter to Rolex every now and then according to their last hit release of BB Pro and Pelagos 39mm (which in normal situation people will likely notice it as Sub if they don't see it closely). That's why they aren't or ever be able to beat their bigger sister.

Companies are always reluctant to poach their flagship model sales with a lower model that's "too good." I prefer the philosophy of "if we don't poach our own sales, someone else will." You want that sale, even if it comes at the expense of your flagship. Don't leave a void for your competition.

This might upset a lots of watch geek, but tbh Tudor watched quality control is awful compare to its price tag.

This still not included the BB GMT Pepsi when it released with Date Wheel issue. Tudor is decent Rolex homage brand and watchmaker, but their price not and never worth USD 4,000. There are so many brand out there provide more better QC, more superior finishing and better distinctive looks at this price point such as ORIS, OMEGA, NOMOS and JLC.
