Would you mind sharing some pictures, when the watch has arrived? I am very much interested in a Pelagos, as well.

Yeah, will share some pictures once it finds its way to me :)
Still waiting for QC right now, but was told right away that it could easily take 3 weeks.

I placed my order a couple of days after my last comment :LOL: I‘m awaiting QC, as well right now. Although I ordered a couple more watches, this is the one I‘m most excited about.

I've got the information from another TD that the XF Pelagos is not easy to get. Great looking watch by the way

No QC yet - it really seems hard to get lately. Hope XF releases another batch soon.

Received my QC pics today. Unfortunately, the hour markers are all over the place. Seems to be a general issue with this model. It‘s a shame, but I‘ll keep it anyway, because I want to get a feel for it. Will then later decide, whether to go Gen or not.

The absolute worst is 7, but 1, 5 and 11 are pretty bad, as well. I‘ve been waiting for 5 weeks and this is the outcome… well, maybe better luck next time.

Yeah, unfortunately it is a general issue with this model.
I also received QC pics and the markers had the usual rotation. Especially the 7 was wonky on mine.
Was also a bit concered about the SEL gap, but gave approval in the end.

I basically bought it for the same reason as you and will also decide on buying the gen - or not - after a couple months :D

21/12/2023 - Received the watch

... it works fine and looks stunning!
Looking at it without magnification, i.e. in real life and not on QC pics, the hour markers look just fine.

Thanks Steve, great service and fast shipment to Germany.

Looking forward to making my next rep purchases :)
