Did everybody get information about this rep?



Minute markers are a bit too fat and too big. Rubber strap is actually very good quality. There is SW200 inside. Dial has this kinda cool half matte/half sunburst kinda effect - they call it sunray. And the bezel is so cool.

In general, the watch feels and looks very nice.






Took you long enough to get on RWI!

Some additional pics of it on a Chinese TD Blog. In the post they reference it as "Original Factory". OF = GF = GOF now? Or is this still the same initial one from that other factory?

A 3135 movement in a Tudor Pelagos? What? Why would a Rolex Date movement be in a 3 hand no date watch?

Would be an instant buy for me. Hope it's true.

Tried on the 39 at the AD today. Holy shit it wears nice! The titanium case and bracelet make it super light. Need a rep of it immediately! I'd be willing to go gen if they made a blue one!

I've had the TUF Pelagos 39 for about a month and a half now - unfortunately it came in just after I sold my gen. My quick take is this is a very good rep that is crying for a bracelet (although the included rubber strap is nice and surprisingly more comfortable than the rigid gen strap that probably just needed a good breaking in). A few quick thoughts and some pictures:
  • The crystal's AR application has a bluish tint that is kind of distracting and definitely not present on the gen.
  • Dial texture and print are very good, as is the ghost texture on the bezel insert. Lume on the markers and bezel insert is decent but nowhere near as bright and strong as the gen (which is a hallmark feature of Pelagos watches in general).
  • A Selitta SW200 is nice at this price point, but the particular movement I have in this one winds a little roughly especially compared to the gen MT movement (and certainly doesn't match the power reserve capacity). Tudor's in-house movements are very good and underrated, IMO.
  • Finishing on the grade 2 titanium case is very solid, and it's particularly evident on the crown guards. Bezel action is good enough, but I don't have any particular

How is the crown screw/unscrew and threading?

Thanks for the review. Yeah, I'm waiting on a bracelet. It looks ugly on the rubber strap to me....

I love that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The bracelet does nothing for me.
