Is It Too Boring? Tudor Pelagos 39 Wearing Experience (M25407N) 

Congratulations on an amazing first luxury watch, you've chosen well. I hope it brings you decades of great time telling.

I agree... the adjustable braclet is great with diver extension for party trick and I actually use the lumed bezel alot. my only watch with a lumed bezel

i agree

People may not use it frequently for the original purpose of being a dive watch to calculate decompression intervals or anything, but the brands still seem to design stuff with certain use cases in mind. This watch is a tool for me even though I don’t dive, I use it to time stuff every single time I wear it, just like a G-shock. But I do agree that we wear these watches because we like them because they are an out dated and obsolete technology.

Thank you so much Maximel!

That is so kind of you. Thank you for watching.

It’s at that price that if you put it on the wrist and you don’t love it, put your money in a different watch. Glad to hear that you didn’t let the hype cloud your judgement. I hope you’re able to find a watch that gives you more enjoyable.

I like your watch a lot most people do not appreciate or understand wearing a quality watch that goes un Noticed is special. I feel this way with my BB 54. 👍

@@thomasreed49 I sold my explorer that already was very under the radar to get a blancpain bathyscaphe that nobody knows 😂 maybe I’m not normal but I feel like you. One of the stupidest thing I did was selling my 58 it s a stunner 👍

@@watchtheflow3880 I’ve still got my BB 58 I wear it but not as much as the BB54. Your consolation in my opinion you own the best looking watch that tutor may

that's awesome. One watch guy? Super jealous!

I wouldn't mind an aluminum bezel on this, or if they went with the matte bezel like the Pelagos 42 or the FXD, that'd be awesome. I'm have been wearing the 58 for 2.5 years now and the rivets really don't come into play for me. When it's on my wrist I never really see them. Thanks for the suggestion. If I can ever get my hands on a 54, I'll definitely check it out.

Yeah that seems to be a feature of the 42mm that a lot of people love. I haven't ever tried one that's sized up but the concept makes it seem like it'd be extremely comfortable.

Congrats on the fantastic watch!

I’m not sure what the markets are like in different states and countries. When it was launched, I was texting my AD in the middle of the night and I ended up getting the first one they received. That was 3 months after release. I went in again about 6 months later and they said they had only received the single one that I had (but that could have been them trying to make me feel special). On the Tudor subreddit which I review pretty regularly it seems like a lot of people are getting them now and a number of them seem to have been able to walk in and buy one right out of the case. If I had to guess there’s maybe a 3-6 month wait in most places, but this is pure speculation based on my experience in a very small market with a single AD.

@@Watchcastage thanks you very much for your return of experience 👍🏼 I will go soon in a store and I'll tell you how it went, I hope I don't have to wait too long. Thx again!

The bracelet and clasp definitely do seem to gather scratches. I'm not sure if it is more prone to scratching than steel because I haven't done any tests, but I can say it is certainly not scratch resistant,

When I was at my AD I tried one on a few years ago and I thought it was quite large, but it's been a while and perhaps I should give it another shot.

@@Watchcastage I've been holding out for a sub however I got the op 41 this year and found that the male end links spoil the way it wears. I'm just wondering if it will be the same issue with the sub. Maybe the pelagos 39 is the best option for a 6.5" wrist?

@@simonwright6882 I was at the AD today and I tried on the current sub, and it definitely doesn’t work on my wrist at all. You may have a different experience, but I think it’s just too big especially with the male end links. I tired the Current submariner, current GMT, current Yacht Master, and current 36mm DJ. My absolute favorite was the 40mm Yacht Master because the curved case and slightly different lugs work a lot better. The 36mm DJ and OP are easy choices too. But the 41mm stuff and even the 40mm GMT is too big for me. Hope that helps.

@@Watchcastage Wow! Super helpful information 👍 many thanks.

@@simonwright6882I have a 40mm submariner and the Pelagos 39. The latter fits much better and I also have a 6.5 inch wrist.

I'm guessing it has to do with the thickness? Maybe they are going to the Rolex route where they put out a great diver and then wait a while to put out the date version? I'm not sure, but a date would have been incredible on this.

I agree and don’t agree on this one, yes a date window would be nice on this watch especially if you are wearing in as a daily. There are so many times when I raised my wrist to check for date but ended pulling my phone out. But on the other other hand if Tudor put a date window on the P39, because the dial is smaller than the P42, the date window might be smaller too, and that could be hard to see if your eyes aren’t perfect. Plus adding a date window will make the dial unbalanced …. I guess there is no perfection 😂

@@bodong7 it's the age old debate. Plenty of mid sized and even small watches manage to have a date, so I suppose not being able to see well is kinda the responsibility of the user to get glasses! Haha just joking, but yeh I guess a cyclops would fix that if it was really bad but might be too derivative of rolex at that point. The choice would be nice though. Dial balance I find to be an interesting argument. Because watches are inherently not symmetrical. You have a crown for one. The text and logo above the hands is never the same as that below it. The hands aren't the same. No one complains about a triangle at 12 yet there isn't one at 6. For me, its about visual weight. A date window doesn't have to significantly disturb the balance as it were if it's done well within the design and doesn't significantly throw off the visual weight around the dial. For the pelagos, 3 or 6 would work with a white date wheel to balance the white markers. Just my opinion of course 🙂

@@Watchcastage yeh don't know, I think they could manage it if they wanted to. They put a date on the bb steel without adding much (or any?) thickness. The new redbull pelagos chrono has a date too. So they can, they just don't. I think it's hubris, telling us how the watch has to exactly be with no options, while a start up brand can offer date/no-date and 10 different colours out of the gate. I hope and wish they went the rolex sub route and offered both, especially for the pelagos 39 which has all that old school sub dna. But considering the refusal to date almost all of the bb range, including the 58 and all of the bezeless dress pieces, I'm not holding my breath. Which is a shame because it would be such a perfect daily otherwise.

The 55, 58 and 41 are popular because they have no date.

It's ceramic mixed with Superluminova or as Tudor calls it: "The applied hour markers on the dial are made of monobloc luminescent ceramic composite,"

I’ll check it out. I just have meant 46.7mm

Exactly! It is so boring that it gets out of the way and does its job perfectly with no bells and whistles. But it still maintains that fantastic build quality and heritage that they've drawn upon. Thank you for the support Rainer!

Bye
