1. Submariner 2. Pelagos 3. Seamaster 4. Aquis 5. Literally any 200M+ Seiko diver

Absolutely top-notch review. I think I'm going to pick up one of these this year.

I love your attention to detail, as in for example hearing the difference in the last click. Its exactly the type of thing I would notice after inspecting the watch every now and then for a prolonged time.

Thanks again for your content and insight, TGV! Going to pick up my Pelagos tomorrow!

Good Sir! Thank you for running such a great Channel. I am slowly building up my seiko collection and your information has helped me such a great deal. Cheers!!!!!!!

Great review my friend and as always your filming technique is awesome. I didn't know about the in house movement, and crazy power reserve, cool! Thank you.

I have the LHD version and absolutely love it. The colour of the markers and the red text help balance the dial beautifully

Thanks for a great review, bought one today, feels awesome :-)

Absolutely love my blue pelagos, every time I look at it it just reminds me of tudors strong connection with working divers and navies

Congratulations to the winner 🤗.. I am very happy for you 🤗..

Great review. I finally bit the bullet and bought a Pelagos just after the new year in part because the new 5 year warranty. I’ve been very happy so far, and it is holding to well under 1/2 second a day accuracy. The clasp is superb, and it wears very comfortably on my 7.75” wrist.

Hi just like to say love your videos! I was going through my exam period and you videos really helped me switch off and relax but also they have made me have a new love to watches. Thank you tgv

Fantastic review of the Pelagos! Haven't seen any dial quite like it, really. And that clasp mechanism is ingenious!

What a nice and polite compliment/ you called the TUDOR , Submariner’s cousin 🤘😄

i love snowflake hands They're like tiny stingrays

Beautiful. I absolutely love the shade of blue they used and how the white contrasts. The illumination is also amazing. This will likely be my next watch! Thanks for the great review.

Great review! I absolutely love mine.

You do the BEST reviews, hands down! The blue Pelagos is such a stunner. What a pleasure to watch!

Keep em' coming.....Its the highlight of my day when I can chill with another watch guy. Weird, I like drinking to it too.....

Not specific to this video, but a quick thank you for all the work you put into these. I broke my ankle and leg in February and haven't been able to wear a watch since -- until today, my first day back without crutches (I went with the Timex Flyback today, because of the whole learning to walk again thing). Your videos have helped feed my addiction while I couldn't do so on my own. Cheers!

excellent stuff. My first skx arrived 2 days ago 007j absolutely in love. credit to the urban gentry for introducing me. Keep up the great work TGV 👌

That's it, I'm getting the blue! Your camera work is outstanding! Well done..

Excellent review, Sir! My top choices are as follows: 1. Rolex Submariner 2. Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Diver 3. Omega Seamaster 4. Tudor Pelagos 5. Ulysse Nardin Maxi Marine Diver

Great review TGV, makes a great alternative to the deep sea, thanks for sharing keep up the good work, best wishes Dee

Love a bit of Mozart Piano Concerto at the start there...😉

The modern submariner interpretation. Probably the most interesting Tudor watch. For those who are tired of vintage watch and look for true new option. Thank you so much for your video. So smart and well educated. Your english sounds so clear for foreign people. Great hours watching your channel.

Fantastic video yet again! Absolutely love the Tudor Pelagos ever since the day I saw it on friend's wrist.

Awsome review! Thank you 😊

That color really reminds me of the upscale automotive solid blues from the 20's and 30's. Cadillac, Pierce and mostly Duesenberg, had blues like that. Additionally, with the low key matte look of the titanium as contrast, was very similar in finish contrast, to the lower luster nickel that they used, prior to the brighter chrome of the 50's. That's how it hit me anyhow. Top notch review, TGV.

Great review of an incredible diver. I really would love to see two reviews from you, 1) Tudor North Flag, and 2) the Bulova Moon Watch on strap. You will not be disappointed! Again, great review.

Appreciate the kind words TGV, and really enjoyed the video. I am definitely missing my 2-liner Pelagos that is sitting back at home. It is my most worn day to day watch for sure! To me it is exactly what a diver should be.

Gorgeous piece of jewellery. Very clean nicely done.

Breitling SuperOcean II 44mm - the 2000m version. Absolutely stunning piece, and my top diver for sure.

Ciao, great video, as always. Thank you! My favourite divers are: 1. Mühle Glashütte Nautic Timer M1-41-23 (only on the black rubber strap) 2. Squale 1521 50 atmos 3. Sinn U1 4. Squale Tiger 5. Mühle Glashütte Kampfschwimmer M1-28-92 NB Greetings from Germany and keep up the good Work!

Hi, i'm from Italy..... (not exactly near NY but...). I'm "virgin" in the wristwatch community'.... i started with my new 2018 Tudor Pelagos Blue. Thanks for your sincere and genuine videos/review.

Can’t wait to pick up mine next week

Great intro. Well done!!

It's 7/10/2020 and I'm thrilled I found this review on the Pelegos. I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on one probably my labor day I tried the brown model in today, where it is very nice it's the Blue that makes this watch that and it great features. My wrist and yours are about the same and I felt it felt just fine. In my opinion divers should be kind of big and bold. I to.would love it smaller but here we are three years from your review and I don't see a smaller version coming any time soon. If I do pull the trigger I'll be in the enviable position of having the Breitling Super Ocean Heritage.42mm B20 Red gold and this beauty both with the same movement essentially and pretty much the same size. I can wear the one as almost a dress diver pretty much any where and this my pure deep diver tool watch. This review was simply the best I've seen on the Pelegos and I've suffered through a bunch in do my due diligence on this watch, thanks.

Thanks for another fantastic, in depth review. I can appreciate the fantastic quality of the Tudor and I love the look of the case and bracelet, but I often get disappointed by dials that have a ‘flat’ colour - I much prefer the amazing sunburst dial of the blue Orient Mako ii and Ray ii - of course as a dive watch this Tudor in a different league to the Orients but perhaps not quite as versatile as it is so ‘tool-like’.

Lovely review-- as an owner, I find the Pelagos to be an extremely enjoyable diver that make me smile whenever I look at it.

Agree with you completely on the crowding of text at the bottom of the face, but probably not a true nuisance to where I’d take this off my wish list. 👍🏻 Solid review!

Absolutely stunning piece. I find myself buying more divers than anything else. This one is top 5 for sure and a must have. Keep up the great quality my fellow royal blood!

Helson Shark Diver 42 Brass SEIKO SOLAR DIVERS SSC017P1 Pelagos with the Inhouse mov. Dont really have anymore on my list 😀

That titanium finishing is gorgeous! What a nice piece I'd love to handle one. :)

Great vid as always. 1. Omega Seamaster Electric Blue 2.Seiko MM 300 3.Oris 65 4.Squale 1521 5. Oris Aquis

Love your show Tristan . . . The 4 divers in my collection are: 1. Seiko SKX. 2. Longines legend diver. 3. Breitling colt. 4. Omega seamaster. I actually love these divers from most to least in reverse order but numbered them according to actual use in the water. Perhaps, I am always concerned about taking the Omega seamster into the water, despite its clear capability.

I knew my Friday was missing something! Love me some TGV!

Great video as always! My list of divers, not in any order: 1. Orient Blue Ray 2 2. Seiko SKX009 3. Sunnto D6i 4. Omega Seamaster

TGV, Thanks for all your videos. You got me started on so many watches. Here are my choices. I've gone a bit cold on the sub of late. 1) Blancpain Fifty Fathoms 2) Vulcain Nautical 3) Tudor Black Bay (Blue) 4) Squale 1521 Blue Ocean 5) Seiko Turtle PADI SE I currently own 2, 4 and 5 (plus an SKX007 of course). The new Explorer scratched my Rolex itch (I wear it 6 days out of 7), so I'm aiming at the 50 fathoms rather than the sub as my diver grail

Went to my local Tudor AD the other day and checked this watch out along with the black bays. They had the in house and ETA Pelagos there. I feel in love with this brand so much if I had the money I would have walked out with the ETA movement Pelagos and the in house along with the black bay bronze. It’s time to put every extra penny in the jar and work hard to get these bad boys.

I like your taste in music very much, Mozart Piano Concerto No.21 is one of my favorites 👍🏻

Another excellent video thank you. My choice Oris Aquis, my wear when diving Citizen promaster eco drive, see Marc's Long Island watch vid about them. We all use computers so its only backup. Great channel Tristano I am working my way through your array of work, love the life hacks and artwork.

T, what a great topic... really took me back, so here goes: My first, and most near and dear to my heart, is a Zodiac Super Sea Wolf, purchased new in 1970 when I started scuba diving at 16 years old. I believe it was under $200.00 at the time. Totally, completely indestructible! It was my daily wear watch (and only watch) until 1974, when I bought my Rolex Sea Dweller (the "red letter" version), for a whopping $446.00 NEW! The Rolex served me well all through Army Special Forces, and the Zodiac was passed on to my younger brother, who still dives to this day. The Zodiac is still my "first" and most sentimental, meaningful watch. Because what impresses me the most about your videos is your grasp and appreciation of the intangibles about a watch, I know you're undoubtably a man who can understand emotional attachment! Thanks for doing what you do.

thanks TGV. Seiko MM300 Pelagos Seiki Sumo Seiko Monster SRP307 BlackBay

Great vid and great-looking watch. Would probably be my grail if it was smaller.

Would love to see the new Prospex Diver SPB053. Have great 4th and thanks for the video TGV!

On my Pelagos the clicks all Sound the same. But the last click at 12 does have a locking system which helps to stop the dial accidentally moving. Beautiful watch but a scratch magnet. Doesn't get much of my wrist time. Great review as usual. 👍

saving for the pelagos ! love it so hard even if it gets easily scratched

great review. great dive watch

Another great video. Submitting these picks with a couple of qualifiers: a) Only watches I might be able to afford b) Once my five was chosen, I listed them in order of which I like most, money being no object and having no impact on my decision. Rolex Submariner (no date, pre-ceramic) Black Bay Blue (ETA version) Watchco "Omega" Seamaster Oris Divers Sixty-Five (40mm variant) Seiko SKX007

Great episode as always. MM300 (SBDX017) Omega Planet Ocean 42 Squalematic Black Bay Black 116610LV

Thank you for this video of this beautiful timepiece, it’s kind of funny that it is exactly the „text crowded“ dial that really turned me to this watch in the first place. Besides, I consider your videos as pieces of art, they are so perfectly done. My deep respect for that. Stay healthy and safe Best regards John

Omega Seamaster 300m in black Longines Legend Diver Longines Hydroconquest in blue Seiko Skx009 Squale 1545 in green

Didn't think much of the pelago at first but as you kept going with the review, liked it more and more and then the lume just did it for me, I think it's amazing, more watches should do that from factory. If they put lume on the date that would be perfect.

My favorite diver is the Invicta two tone automatic using the seiko movement and the submariner!!

I think the Pelagos is one of the most beautiful dive watches of all time. The fit and finish of the titanium case is absolutely exquisite. However, I hate the fact that it scratches so readily. Moreover, it’s nearly impossible to polish out the gouges, swirls, and scratches - so, you’re pretty much stuck with the blemishes you pick up. It’s too bad, because the case and bracelet are so impeccably finished, it hurts to compromise it just because you’re wearing it. You might like the look of a few scratches; you may even say it adds character. But to me, it’s like owning a pristine Ferrari, and suffering endless door dings.

I love toolish divers with a bit of style, watches that you can see being used in many situations and environments. I think the versatility is one of the biggest draws for me. Here's my favorites: 1. Omega Planet Ocean - Black dial with a splash of orange. 2. Doxa SUB 1200T Professional - Orange dial. 3. Seiko SKX - Either the 007 or 009. 3(a). Seiko SRP77X Turtle series. 4. Oris Aquis - Considering getting one of these. Great value for money. 5. Tudor Pelagos - Love the blue dial version.

Hey, I just picked up a Seiko SRP PADI Pepsi. My first Seiko and first dive watch. It's a striking watch and I really enjoy it. I plan on diving with this watch on every dive going forward.

Great review as usual! 1. Rolex Submariner2. Omega Seamaster3. Bathys Professional Diver4. Tudor Pelagos5. CW C60

UG , I purchased the pelagos 4 months ago. I've worn it everyday . I still find myself gazing at the blue face. this is my first nice watch. I think it was a good buy. ~ JDS/CT

All the love and support for the gentleman warrior you mentioned. I have that same suunto myself as my adventure watch, great functionality, toughness, and for my two cents it looks way better than a g shock

Nice review.

Great review

Good stuff as usual TGV ! Here's my list : 1- Tudor black bay 36 2- Seiko skx013 3- Omega seamaster 300 4- Christopher ward C60 Trident GMT 600 5- breitling superocean heritage 42

I love this watch

Hi TVG, here are my favorite divers; 1. Rolex Deep Sea -Cameron, which I own. 2. The new 43 mm Rolex Sea Dweller, red line ( I'm on a waiting list), 3. The new Grand Seiko high beat diver that just came out Baselworld 2017. I can't decide if I like the black dial or limited edition blue dial more. 4. The new 2017 fully tegamented Sinn U-1 that was just released. 5. Here I gotta look at a Blancpan , there are several cool diving models. Thanks for all your great informative vids my friend.

Just bought the lhd in person this watch looks simply amazing it is modern and vintage in the same time. It looks expensive but is not an expression of excessive wealth .i highly recommend this timepiece .

Did start watching your channel a few month ago. You where one of many sources for information when I decided what to be my first luxury watch. I did buy an omega SMP quartz from 1993-1997 (don't know exact year of watch). So its not only the same type as the watch in GoldenEye, its also from about the same years :) However even now when I got the watch I still cant stop watching your videos. It has become like a drug and in the long run I guess it will cost me about the same as if it was real drugs :D

Love that bright Nato mate!

Great video as always from our beloved gentleman. For the best 5 divers it will be hard there are so many amazing pieces but for me it would be 1. Sub 2. Longines Hydroconquest 3. Seiko 7002 4. Nautica NMX 650 For the fifth I don't know what to put

I love watching this episode I've seen it 10 + times

i love the blancpain fifty fathoms "non radioactive" dial. on the hunt for one at a decent price...this pelagos is a stunner though

Hi, TGV! This is my list and yes, in that order ;-) 1. Seiko SKX007 2. Marathon GSAR 3. Squale 1521 4. Rolex Sub 5. Orient Black Ray II Keep these videos coming, you are doing a fantastic job. Thank you, for being there.

TGV, Happy Canada Day! I thoroughly enjoyed this video! While Tudor does not appeal to me on a broad scale, I do like the Pelagos and would definitely purchase one! There is just something about that blue dial and bezel that separates it from the usual suspects. My favourite features of this watch are the dial and the bracelet. However, I do agree that the 5-lines at 6 o'clock on the dial is too busy and not necessary. I would much prefer 2-3 lines maximum to clean it up. I would love to see a 2017 Top 5 Favourite Divers video!! Here are my top five: 1) Omega Seamaster Professional 300m 2531.50 (Pierce Brosnan's Bond Diver) 2) Rolex Sea-Dweller Submariner 1665 ("Double Red") 3) Seiko Turtle 6105 "Captain Willard" (Tied with the SKX007J) 4) Panerai Luminor Submersible PAM305 (so easy to read under water) 5) Oris Aquis 43mm date Honourable mentions: a) Tudur Pelagos b)Bremont Supermarine 500 c) Doxa Sub 1200t (blue dial) I would love to see a video of you discussing the timepieces of politicians over the last 60 years (from FDR, JFK, Obama, Putin to Pierre Trudeau (Rolex) & Justin Trudeau (IWC), etc...). It would be awesome to see you cover politicians from many countries. Thanks again for another awesome video! Have a great weekend :)

Just love your videos, no watch snobbery, will be buying a Tudor black Bay or a Pelegos, in the near future,

Recently been obsessed with the Pelagos LHD. At the moment, my top 5 are 1. Rolex Submariner 114060 No Date Ceramic 2. Omega Seamaster Master Coaxial 300 3. Panerai Luminor 1950 PAM01392 4. Tudor Pelagos LHD 5. Seiko Marine Master

Stunning watch

Thanks for the great content! For me all that text on the dial kills it for me. Not a fan of the hands either. But surely it's an effective watch of very high quality.

I love the channel. I think you should address Spiedel bracelets. I don't use them on every watch, but they are great fitting once adjusted. stretch them out, slip them on, and they stay in place. I feel that they are a watchband that is over looked, but have been around for a very long time. great channel, I will keep watching.

I love the Steinhart Ocean One Titanium 500 Premium. Its simple, modern, great movement, and you can't beat the bang for the buck.

Thinking of the blue Pelagos later this year. I am hoping Tudor will introduce a 40 mm at Bazel World later this month.

Hi TGV I am a new subscriber to your channel and it's true, your passion is contagious as commented below. I just wanted to comment to the reason why most dive watches are blue is because the color blue is the last color to disappear at depth. Learned this as I am an avid scuba diver. Cheers!

Most people don't realise the 5 lines of text are intentionally designed to take the shape of the snowflake hour hand, from a viewing distance. Look again.

The new intro looks great!

Got to have a couple of Sinn watches. U1 and U1000 are my favorites. I have the U1 and love it, but the U1000 is on my radar.

Love your studio!

Hey TGV, watched this when you first published it and now again because I can’t fight the urge anymore!!. Yes the text is somewhat annoying although I can’t get away from that sub reminiscent feeling with the overwhelming blue. Always appreciate your views!! All the best 👍

Great video! 1. Rolex Submariner 2. Omega Seamaster 3. Tudor Pelagos 4. Seiko SKX 5. Seiko SRP
