I now own this watch and wear it everyday! Bought it from Store 5a in August of 2017 shortly after this video was made. It's been a gem in my collection and I appreciate the quality of the Tudor brand. Thanks Store 5a for bringing this piece to Columbus. Check out their stores in Easton and Short North. Quality watches at a good price.
Rob, you did a great review of the Pelagos! I own and love the Tudor HBB-blue 79220B, but I enjoy watching other Tudor watch model reviews. Keep the reviews coming!👍
such a sweet watch and I feel the ETA movement is the way to go, because it was only made a year or two before Tudor started using their own movement.. So I'm thinking the ETA watch is gonna go up in value... Another awesome review Rob!!!
I posted this within a reply but I think I'll post it as a standalone comment as well: People who try to label ETA movements as somehow poor quality doesn't make any sense to me. Tudor uses ETA top grade movements - these are the same quality and operating parameters as ETA chronometer grade. The only difference is that one movement is sent to COSC and the other isn't. The biggest benefit to an ETA movement is that you can get it serviced anywhere - literally, anywhere. You don't need to send it to RSC, and access to ETA parts will be no issue for years and decades to come. You're foolish to think that Tudor simply buys an ETA and plants it into a watch. They make their own modifications and finishes. If I'm not mistaken, they install a Kif shock absorber just like those found on Rolex movements among some of the upgrades they make. There is absolutely nothing wrong with ETA movements - get over it. The entire "in-house movement" thing is nothing more than a pissing contest, particularly this day and age with mergers and acquisitions and collaboration between companies on "in-house" movements.
@@watchrob77 Much like the Omega-modified cal.1120 (ETA 2892-2). Nothing wrong with either, if you ask me. Actually, i prefer the two-liner Pelagos over the current version, and not just for the five lines of text on the dial, but also for relative ease of servicing.
This watch really is the goods. I'm not a big fan of titanium, however, I'm turned 'round for this piece based primarily on the fact that it is a tool watch and it is such a 'low to no bling' handsome, beautifully crafted instrument. (A masterpiece).
ihopetowin hey brother I would have to agree. Probably one of the perfect black dial watches you can own. But black dial watches are my favorite so hard to pick only one. Cheers 🍻
I recently bought a BB with black bezel. I was in the market to buy a new Submariner. I just don't like what they've done with the case. It's such a "blocky" thing now. This new Tudor of mine is running at + one second per day. Anyway, you can guess what I'll do with the money I didn't spend.......I'll hunt down another watch over the coming months.
ihopetowin haha that's awesome man! If you want to donate that extra money to the watchrob charity I'll make sure I spend it on a really nice watch and review it :)
You should check out Sinn watches if you want a real tool watch. They include submarine steel that's been tegimented (2-4x harder tha Rolex 904L steel), capsules that absorb moisture, anti-magnetic, shock resistance, water resistance, g-force resilient etc. Sinn is the modern Rolex.
Nice job on the video Rob, I was debating on the Pelagos or Heritage, but this bad boy won out. I have an ETA version and have no issues with it.while some have been aching for a in-house movement and now have it, Tudor for years have used and perfected the 2824 top line movement making it their own. One thing you didn’t mention was the awesome Lume. I couldn’t believe it the first time I saw it. To my mind the little brother grew up and is on par
I have the ETA black faced Pelegos same as this one it's a gem ETA no issue I have a 30year old Fortis Flieger with ETA movement and it marches on. get real get ETA ex royal navy UK
It’s not, but it’s a movement that is capable of being adjusted to chronometer standard, and also has special non-eta parts for fine adjustment, and shock resistant as specified by Tudor.
