Tudor Times in Ye Olde London

Hi Guys,

The Pelagos arrived today, and has been about with me in London.

I really want to thank this Forum for this giveaway, of course there's Stevo, then the sponsers of the giveaway, JUSTROLEXES (Tony), MOSCO (Greg), BODYBUMP (Oscar) OCROLEXGUY (Patrick) and DAVIDSW (David). And special mention to Fr. John's(jmsrolls) finger that pressed the button on that random generator thingy.

Also I want to thank the moderators for making this place am amazing resource and a fun place to hang out. This watch will remind me of all the great times I've had here and the great friends I have made.

This watch wasn't much on my radar, we don't have Tudor AD's here, but since finding out I won, I've pretty much read every thread about it here, and after wearing it all today all I can say is this watch is a KNOCKOUT and I love it.





Yep the Pelagos is keeping great time.



Sorry for the blank expression, I really am happy.

I put the rubber strap on, as I think it looks wicked with end links. Had a good look at the divers clasp on the bracelet. It is is amazing.

Oh quick question, is it safe to wear in the shower.

Thank you guys.

There was some requests for me to dance Gangnam Style in the other thread. Now I can't move like our friend Matte, but can try to share my joy in music. Played this for you guys.

Nice piano work. I am starting to worry that you need to have a talent to win a draw.

Congrats on the watch. Wear it in good heath and enjoy!

Congrats mate, my mothers maiden name is Tudor so I was thinking maybe I should get her one as a gift but shes old school and so it cant be much over 30mm so probably nothing available for her.

Many many congrats. A simply fantastic watch. I've not yet seen one 'in the flesh' but I rather suspect when I do, it will be love at first sight!
