Hello everyone,
So I've had the Pelagos a little over 6 months now, and here are my short impressions so far.
This is my first replica, it was purchased from Puretime and everything went without problems. The watch has been worn almost every day since I got it, so it got a lot of wrist time. The movement is smooth, no stutter and timekeeping is suprisingly accurate - when compared to my gen Tissot, the difference is 3-4 seconds per day which I'm satisfied with.
The build quality is very good, since this was my first rep I wasn't sure what to expect, but after reading up on the forum I decided to go for it. Titanium gives it a real "tool watch" look, it's not shiny but more matte which is excellent if you want a low key, everyday watch that doesn't attract a lot of attention.The clasp and bracelet are very good, I used the adjustment only once but everything seems to be working so I didn't even try the rubber strap received with the watch
!
Now for the negatives; when I received the watch the bracelet was extremely stiff, but after searching the forum I used baby oil on it and now it feels much more natural. Another thing is some of the hour markers are a little bit off, but I find it tolerable and really notice it if I stare closely at the watch. I rejected the first two set of QC photos, and this one was acceptable in my opinion. The third thing are the scratches, which happen very easily, especially on the clasp. However, since this is my daily beater it's not a big issue.
Altogether, I'm very happy with my first rep and I'm definitely thinking about getting the next one.
