Pelagos vs BB

[simonm]

i've wanted to buy a Tudor Rep for a long time and i was wondering if any of you experts on the subject could tell me which is the best rep (closest to the gen version of the watch), The Pelagos or the BB ?

i hope you can help me with this?

They are both real close, but id have to go with the Black Bay.

I have both and love both. The Black Bay is possibly my favourite with the Pelagos in a close second.. You would surely be happy with both.

I had the same question. I was dead set on buying the Pelagos and then when it came time to order I went with the Blue BB. Maybe because I liked both and the BB was a bit less expensive. I don't know but I love it. Now I am even thinking of getting the Red BB which is something I never thought I would say.

Thanks for the great response. i really think it is a hard decision to make.

Which color do you have the BB in at the moment "Fradish" ?

Get both! You won't be disappointed! While your at it get BB in both colors!

Does the Pelagos feel and look a lot bigger than the BB or is the difference minor?

(because im not having the biggest wrist etc. )

I have the blue currently. Also I have about a 6.5 inch wrist and this fits nicely. I believe the Pelagos is very close in size so that should fit similarly. I will try to post a wristy pic but I'm on IPAD mostly.
My only possible regret would be that I bought the 21j movement. About $100 more gets you better movement and second leather strap.

And about the movement i am allso considering buying it with the 25 juvels version (Asian 2824-2 25J Automatic movement at 28800vph)

I was dead set on the BB , started looking at Rolex DSSD at then the Pelagos started to grow on me. Funny how quick tastes can change in this rep game!

Seriously though , can't go wrong and maybe should just get both just to be sure .

Good luck with whatever you choose . In the meantime I'll just leave this here....

Didn't know the Pelagos had movement options? Am I wrong? don't want 21J.

 

[Nikoteen]

No the Pelagos doesn't come in 21J (only A2824) but the Black Bay does come in the lower spec movement but the case is exactly the same as the higher end versions.

pelagos is slightly bigger, but since its dial sit higher than the BB, it feels like a much bigger. still... pelagos feels fine on my 7" wrist. it just kinda cover the whole top of the wrist
