Is it worth buying genuine Tudor pelagos blue or just get the XF latest version

[Repworld]

Although I am a rep fanatic I did sell off a sizeable chunk of my collection to go gen with my favourite watch of all time, the 2021 25600TN. I bought the gen to commemorate my pursuit of a PhD and to pay respect to an incredible company and heritage. It takes a LOT to make a rep obsessed detail oriented maniac like me to buy a gen, and I couldn't think of a better watch for the money than the Pelagos.

I also have the XF V5 in noir and smurf.

You really notice the difference upon wearing it. I noticed a few things (although not exhaustive):

• Gen winding was silk and effortless, and a constant source of orgasmic waves
• Time AND date setting direction is opposite to the rep (in-house MT5612)
• Bezel is T I G H T and has zero play. Fun fact: the bezel click at 12 is different from the rest. It's like a pit stop. It has a different sound. When rotating the bezel, it stops at 12 and then proceeds to go around again
• Lume is almost evenly matched with the rep
• Dial is a huge tell. Gen is more textured and darker. Font printing is more raised and precise.
• Gen is grade 5 titanium. Different feel to the grade 2. Much more friction and darker in tone. Gives off white gold vibes but super light. Definitely luxurious, as it is an alloy.
• Time setting has high gear ratios, and nice tight feel
• Bezel teeth are precise and softer
• Clasp has nearly zero wiggle, and micro adjustments are flawless

All in all I suggest owning BOTH for the ultimate experience. My gen is insured by Jeweler's Mutual so I am safe taking it wherever I go. However the rep allows me to wear it even more casually, and truly lets me appreciate the gen.

Hope this helps! Love the community here.

Planning on writing a KennyG full review very soon of Gen vs Rep

Don’t think there’s such a thing as instant tell on a Tudor.

If you got the site from here then yes. But contact them first to see if they can get it.

Thinking to buy used genuine Tudor Pelagos blue .
Or just go for the XF latest version one I think V5.
Your advice highly appreciated

Isn't a Tudor not a Rolex rep anyways? Or is this a slippery slope comment.... haha
