Doesn't help - but I wish I could answer with a frankenwatch. Ideally I'd have the dial and hands from the PO, in the case of the Pelagos.

I like a lot of what Omega does, but that helium escape crown is not to my taste.

Maxfli · 10 June 2013, 11:11 AM

Pelagos. Minimalist cool and way more comfortable than the PO.

tigerpac · 11 June 2013, 02:56 AM

I picked the PO - love it, very versatile watch on the bracelet or rubber.

damo_t · 11 June 2013, 12:08 PM

IMO, the Pelagos.

marianilic · 11 June 2013, 06:02 PM

Both, but pelagos is nicer

tigerpac · 12 June 2013, 01:40 AM

I guess the number of pro-tudor responses isn't outrageous for a Rolex forum but jeez!

Shade · 12 June 2013, 12:19 PM

I dunno, they're both nice and in the same league. But I would go for the Pelagos this time around!

MaxCargo · 12 June 2013, 08:19 PM

The Pelagos over the PO. Don`t like the hands on the Omega

petenyc · 13 June 2013, 03:35 AM

Po

Americandave · 13 June 2013, 09:47 PM

The planet ocean bracelet is the most comfortable I've ever tried - PO for me, for movement accuracy, service interval, 4 year warranty, and great design.

The pelagos is awesome, but I chose the black bay for my first tudor - I already owned a PO at the time and I felt it fit the same niche as the pelagos in my box.

KeepTicking · 13 June 2013, 11:37 PM

PO without question for me!!

Sorry, but I have humbly to disagree. I don't know how you can say the Pelagos and PO are in the same league. The movement inside the PO is clearly superior in all facets, be it accuracy, technology, or design. The only similarity in "league" that I see between them is that they're both serious dive watches built to withstand great depths. The Omega PO is a higher quality watch every which way you look, and is priced to reflect that.

KDA · 14 June 2013, 02:23 AM

Pelagos is now my daily wearer! Clean, well made, classic, nod to the old tudors without being a 'copy' heritage watch, bright lume, latest tech, and a little different to all the rolexes put there...

Tudor

OMAnders · 19 June 2013, 02:01 AM

PO - I agree. I have the 300M auto seamaster, and though I am literally in love with it, I'd add the PO to the repertoire if I could!

Atomant · 22 June 2013, 05:08 AM

Pelagos hands down.

Bernie.H. · 25 June 2013, 07:56 AM

[QUOTE=samarth1;4196712]Omega PO 8500 without hesitation. It is a truly fantastic watch for the money, and probably the best value you can buy in the luxury segment today. Ceramic bezel, date, in-house movement, 60-hour power reserve, silicon balance spring for longer intervals between services, screw down crown, 600m water resistance WITH a sapphire back, and an assortment of OEM rubber straps of the finest quality along with an OEM bracelet with screws for easy sizing. Just unbeatable for the price, IMHO. Not to take away from the Tudor Pelagos, which is a fantastic watch in its own right, but the PO 8500 is a knockout. I recommend it without reservation.

Well said

...PO for me, no question.

The hands on the omega don't really do it for me... I don't like their shape. They look like, I don't know, penises or something.

Is that all the time, or only when its 12 o'cock.

c.rod · 25 June 2013, 12:40 PM

po 8500 all day long. you can get very very good discounts on them. so you have to factor that in. im pretty sure resale will be better also

oh, forgot to add. titanium scratches like a mutha!! especially the brushed stuff.

GermanyMatt · 25 June 2013, 05:11 PM

Now that I've been to a Rolex/Tudor dealer and tried on the Pelagos, I say Omega PO for sure. The Pelagos didn't feel good in my hands at all. Too lightweight and the Ti honestly doesn't do this watch any favors. It would look far better in SS.

jvo300 · 2 July 2013, 12:05 AM

PO 2500 for me!

jimmypark54 · 2 July 2013, 12:41 AM

pelagos gets my vote

Savio · 19 September 2013, 12:02 PM

PO with inhouse movement

jokr82 · 24 September 2013, 04:35 AM

I go try One in Ad in My country.

I was wearing Of Course my Omega 8500 Orange 42mm.

And the guy look at my wrist and Say Marvellous Omega Isn´t it?

I try Tudor Pelagos And yes It´s very beauty, very light, Amazing Watch.

But I didn´t feel so comfortable with this Pelagos.

Yes It was a first Love, put after I put in my wrist well didn´t felt anymore in first love

Also Omega it´s made-in-house, Silicon Balance( SI-14) Co-axial, 600m, Comfortable, A Huge History Behind, etc..............

Tudo Pelagos It´s Eta movement Modified so what it´s better?

In-house, or ETA??

PS: And I was with intention to Buy the Pelagos

Presa canary · 24 September 2013, 04:47 AM

The po, and I don't care for any recent omegas. I just think it's a better buy.

tasopappas1 · 24 September 2013, 06:40 AM

Funny, I am going through exactly this process my self.
Looking for a tough, toolish type watch i can wear everywhere that is in the $4-5k range and that will complement my GMT BLNR nicely.

Was dead set on the Pelagos until I ran across this thread!!
Wonder if there is anything else that should also be considered other than the Omega PO?

i think even on THIS forum a lot of people will probably admit that the planet ocean with in house 8500 acquired with the max discount is hands down the best bang for the buck in the industry right now. (considering the inhouse mvt and how much of a premium it usually commands)

well under $5k otd nib purchased from the right person. :)

But what if you compare the Pelagos to a 42mm Titanium Planet Ocean?

benlee · 25 September 2013, 12:53 AM

Planet Ocean for me. The Pelagos while a nice watch looks very dull to me. The PO is also heck of a tough watch. It my goto watch when I have to visit places with rough environment (warehouse, factories ) where it is expected to take knocks.
