Black Black Bay or Pelagos??

I would love any input from someone who has owned, or worn , both.

Do you want a strap or bracelet? Pelagos bracelet is 1:1. I spent few hours today comparing pics and could only find 2 hard to find flaws.

Torn between two Tudors, feeling like a fool.
Buying both of you is breaking all the rules.
...or is it?

Haha. I had that song in my head. Then you went and put lyrics to it. Nice!

I really do like the looks of the Pelagos bracelet. Thanks for the info. The strap that comes with it is a selling point too.

Personally, I would go with the Pelagos since it's not a "fantasy" model like the Black Black Bay. But that's just me...

Funny I prefer it on rubber, much better IMO.

Definitely the red black bay... The pelagos dial markers need improvement... Every one I saw have a little problem... Rejected 3 and decided to get other watches instead... If u are keen in pelagos, I suggest u to wait for the next version (or updated dial)

I have both and i love both....i don't think you would be disappointed in either to be honest.
The Pelagos feels brilliant on the wrist and looks fantastic.
I have the Red Black Bay on vintage leather...looks and feels amazing.
Buy both :)

They are both beautiful. But if you want a more "dressier" watch (if you could call a dive watch that) you should buy the BB. But on the other hand, if you want a more tough looking tool watch you should probably get the Pelagos. Either way not a bad choice in my humble opinion.

+1 all the way - Ti makes the Pelagos very comfy and pleasant to wear, whereas the BB is more present.

The red BB imo is one of the easiest and most versatile reps/watches to wear, suppose the same goes for the blue. Goes everywhere with me without any issue or additional thought: office, restaurant, beach, café, meeting, reception, leisure walk, etc.

Great stuff all. Thank you.
I will be getting the Pelagos. But the low price I'm seeing for the BB makes both a possibility.
