Gen seems like a less capable version of the original. Losing both the bracelet and the date. Given the glacial pace that Tudor get their new releases out, it would probably be quicker to get the rep - which should be simple enough - there’s not much to get wrong on it.
The gen is already out.
i’m a no date fan and I can’t imagine I’d ever find a scenario where 200m isn’t enough.
My favourite feature (the fixed strap bars) make the bracelet impossible which is fine. Especially when you consider it’s a heap thinner than the regular Pelagos.
If ZF don’t come up with something soon I might have to go gen.

I know it’s out - duh. And I know why it can’t have a bracelet. It’s probably .5mm thinner once you take into account the nato.
My point is Tudor are terrible at getting new releases out in volume, so the chances of walking out of an AD with one for the foreseeable are next to zero. Which is why I said it would probably be quicker to get a rep.

I would definitely be interested if ZF comes with a version.
I hope it will be cheaper since there is no date complication and no bracelet.
Maybe 250$-300$ that would be a great value.

My best guess is if it does get repped, it’ll have a 2824 in it. I reckon it’d be priced similarly to other titanium Pelagos reps which is fine with me. A simpler dial than a regular pelagos should be easier to replicate too

Haven’t heard anything yet. My guess is the raids slowed down their development. A lot of good models have also disappeared from the books.

Yes noticed the same, I was also in contact with a few local dealers saying that the COVID situation is also quite serious and a lot of factories cant operate as usual on top of the after-math of the raids.
There are so many cool details on this vs regular Pelagos. The crown and bezel have bigger "teeth" to the grip which personally I like a lot more. The bidrectional fully indexed countdown bezel is funky. It's thinner. The flat dial. The Velcro strap. Lack of date and helium valve. Slightly darker blue tone. The fixed bars get all the hype... but everything is so well done. When will they rep this?! I might need to get the gen...

Feels very light - like its not there. My AD called me yesterday, and I was going to pass on it, but thought I would check it out. As soon as I saw it I knew we would be friends. Fit is very good - not as big as it looks in my photo - nothing like as big as the dimensions suggest. Glad I got one for the summer.
