Tudor Pelagos 39 First impressions and short term review 

I think you’ve just made my decision for me, months and months of watching p39 videos and this is the one I was looking for, great quality video, I think it will accompany my North Flag prettt good 👍

I have never seen this watch looking as gorgeous as it does in this video. Well done for the video quality. You have renewed my interest in it becoming my first ‘luxury’ watch.

stunning piece perfect blend of utilitarianism coupled with finesse. Love the hint of red and the titanium. One of the watches I consider perfection and it fits your wrist perfectly; congratulations on the purchase. This one is on my short list.

Same for me - I just picked up a Pelagos 39 next day online after waiting for months ‘on the list’. It’s also the same week I sold my blue Pelagos 42 and it is everything I loved about that watch and a little bit better in my eyes. Slimmer, no date, classic submariner colour scheme, a touch more dressy with the sunburst effect which is perfectly subtle, no helium escape valve. Yet it retains the things I loved, the titanium that still looks great when scratched, clicky bezel with the extra resistance at 12, snowflake hands, stylish markers with great lume, easy to read dial. I will be leaving mine on the bracelet as I love the way it feels. Just as nice to wear as my other prized watch an Explorer 214270.

Delighted to see how pleased you are with Pelagos, hope to soon be the same.

Nice move. I bought one yesterday! I fell in love with it due to the size and the presence of a black dial diver💯 It’s definitely a rare find. My AD said he was surprised that the P39 made it into the “display case.” He tried to explain to me what that meant due to the demand. But I am happy that I got to experience it. I really think that RU-vid doesn’t do it justice. The sunburst dial is not very prominent. The black dial swag is much more present. I also felt like I had some closure with buying this watch from that dealer. And the black dial diver search is also over. Of course the Rolex factor is always an exception😅

The hunt is over lol . Well done mate a beautiful time piece

Great video. I’m very close to getting one of these and this has definitely helped. My wrist is the same size as yours so great to see it looking so good on you

Excellent footage, thank you.

Love my Pelagos 39 - it’s so wearable and light for daily use. I also have a Submariner 124060, Pelagos FXD MN21 and the P39 gets the most wear . Also love my Sinn 103 sa BE, Sinn 856 S UTC, Studio Underd0g 🍉, Seiko Prospex Speedtimer 🐼 and Seiko SKX 🥷.

Cheers, on your 1..final watch. Good on you! However, for selfish reasons I'm a bit sad. You're one of my favorite Utube watch channels. Meaning? You probably won't be doing many watch reviews from here on out. Your relaxed style and calm British (Scotish? Northern England..?) voice is a joy to listen to. Always, a great presentation. 😊

Great looking watch

Very nice watch Al, lovely

The bezel looks stunning in this video…

such a great watch

that's an awesome watch, love the black bays ...I would pick Tudor over Rolex sub any day.

Congrats! What about play in the T-Fit micro adjustment? I’ve seen some videos where it is significant and others that don’t mention it. Your thoughts?

Awesome watch and great review? What’s your thought after almost two weeks of owning it? Do you still have it as I read your looking at another Tudor?

I'm gonna hold you to that one watch pledge Alan 🤣 Well done mate! The Pelagos is a gorgeous watch. If I'm to buy another Tudor it will be one of these.I currently own the burgundy bezel 41mm with the in house movement.

Unbelievably Christopher Ward and even some AliExpress watches have easy change spring bars. You would think luxury watches would have these.

Very nice.....got mine 3 weeks ago.

Like you I recently got into watches. I bought a titanium Zelos to try because spending this kinda of money on a watch initially seemed alot. But I think I will have to treat myself as I don't see a watch that I like more. I'd also much rather a Tudor than a Rolex.. even though tudor are the sister brand I think they offer better value and also less flash than any Rolex.

I have a P39 which I wear a lot, was looking at a U50 which I saw you sold to fund this. Any regrets? Also which one wore better in your opinion ?

I fell in love with this watch the moment I saw it, I was on a waiting list for several months before getting the call from my AD, sadly when I tried it on i felt the clasp is just too long and dominated the watch so I decided against purchasing. However, every time I see photos or reviews like this I'm tempted to go for it. How do you find the clasp? Is it too long?

The watch looks beautiful on your wrist. What size is your wrist?

Beautiful watch. Did you sell your others to help pay for it? I want one

Very nice - I can see where CW 300 got some of its styling from - let me know when it's for sale LOL B-)

I was all in definitely getting one of these and managed to look at a display one on release day. That watch had shocking quality issues including the bezel seizing up while I was looking at it. It almost felt like it was going to fall off which is quite common apparently. The bracelet was baggy too and had massive play in the clasp which is also quite common along with virtually no lume on the hands. I had a look at another one last week and it felt a lot better bezel wise but it still had a sloppy bracelet and virtually no lume on the hands again. I got the call for my one recently because stories of quality issues are well known now and people are not buying them. I decided to leave the watch after loosing confidence in Tudor and their quality control. I hope yours is ok because on paper it’s a great watch but for that much money Tudor need to do much better.

😂🤣This is my one watch now 🤣😂All that I'm ever gonna need😂😄

Pelagos 39 and white chronograph panda best Tudors

Tip for you..Ink Erasure will remove those scratches easily..

Pretty nice watch, and lovely song at the end... what is the name of the song and singer?

Do you miss this watch? The reflecting dial looks awesome 🤩

Looks like you changed your mind. What happened after that bold statement😂. Hope you get the BB54👍

How much does it weigh on the sized bracelet?

@ 17:48, It called safety clasp. If iam not wrong.

It’s Pé-lagos with the accent on the E! It means “open water” in Greek 😉

The only part of the watch I'm not keen on is the sunburst on the dial. Absolute beaut regardless

Is it any better than Christopher Ward C60 Trident? That’s my current go to watch and I am interested in Pelagos 39. I guess it would be good to do long term review to see how grade 2 titanium copes with scratches. I guess my hesitation is because comparing with the CW Trident I can’t see what is the added value. And I don’t want to pay three grand just for the name on the dial.

I got one of these on Monday and to be honest I’m not that impressed with it, It looks amazing but the sharp edges and light weight makes it feel less premium than I’d like for a watch at this price point. I do not think the finish is up to par compared to other Tudor watches like the black bay 58. It’s how it feels on the wrist I do not like specifically as compared to my Rolex submariner it feels cheap and scratchy whilst it rattles on the wrist unless worn over tight. Maybe titanium is not for me but overall a disappointment.

To center the clasp, just flip the bracelet’s orientation.

Did you forget about the lume?

You got rid of your 38mm C60? 😢

what's your wrist size?

How do you find the lume on the hands? I ony just bought a 40mm black Trident 300 and already dreaming of the Peli 39, you’ve just made it worse 😂

Wow, it really looks good. I liked: Move on and obsess about something else :)

Here's the impression...too damn small

I just don't get it,4k for a obvious Sub copy,dial looks just meeh without applied markers and construction is done with cheap grade 2 Titanium and ETA clone.For that money you can buy diver grail watches or way better sport options,for 1k more you can even buy the mythical Snowflake in grade5 Titanium.

It's borderline too big for you. You almost get away with it.
