Beauty watch btw! I think i'm going to wait for them to pop up from a reputable seller for discount. But this one is def high on the list.

Oh ok thought they had changed the boxes as both my ranger and THC came with piano style finish , my bad lol!

Congrats Ken. We can all see it's a fine watch, but what was the deciding factor for making it the one for you in the end?

I originally had my sights set on the black bay blue, but they had this in the display window, if I hadn't of seen or noticed it then I think I would of walked out with the BB, I tried them both on but felt that the pelagos looked the sportier of the two and the one that I thought looked better on my wrist plus I guess also it being in house movement and COSC all helped me finally decide it was the one!

sorry but i'm not a fan of this.

the wrong shade of blue, way too muck text on the dial, and this 'missing' marker at the 3 all spell w-r-o-n-g.

I would also have preferred 4 lines like my Subs instead of the 5. The date is at 3 o'clock.

Still a Beautiful watch and can't wait to get one!! Congratulations again.

version 1 of the pelagros had only 2 lines of text and had a marker to the right of the date.

it's nice that the movement is now in-house, but i think the older version is the much better version.

Thanks for pointing out the differences. I'm still learning. As a matter of fact, after seeing yours, I would like to have that version also. Very clean dial and I like the marker at 3 o'clock! ETA movement would not bother me at all.
Thanks again.
