I dislike the hype surrounding it, the OG Pelagos is more unique as is the FDX. The new Pelagos is too sub looking. If you want a sub get on the list or keep and eye on the secondary market (as the world economy collapses). I could actually find that I love it in real life, but if sacrifices it uniqueness and tool vibes to appease the small wrist girly-men influencers. Personally I have no desire to make a donation to the Hans Wilsdorf foundation. But, do kind of regret not buying a North Flag when they were considered toxic sludge.
I suspect it will be like the Black Bay 58 Blue and readily available in the case within a a year. Tudor has not been playing Rolex games, this is just a brand new model and there is a frenzy. I tried it on two days ago and the dealer said when can I call you if you want one. Yes, there is a wait, but that is just because it is a new model. I couldn’t see the starburst dial inside either. I can’t see that being a negative as you can’t even see it in most lighting conditions.
I think this watch is pure beauty. It smashes design and style out of the park and is perfectly balanced and sized. You can tell by now I like it and am a Tudor fan anyway. I write this while sporting a BB58 925 which I have had from launch last year and love. However I would not buy this black version of the Pelagos 39. What I hope from Tudor is that they release a Starbucks type variant in either green or blue bezel but with the black dial. Then I'll probably consider getting one.
That’s pretty much how every clasp I own looks after 1 week. Or after 1 hour of typing on a Macbook. That’s life. It is a shame that it cannot be bought so easily in some places. Luckily on the forums it seems these are already for sale for list + sales tax. So I’ll probably pick one up that way and avoid the hassle of a fruitless trip to the AD
Been wearing my Pelagos 39 non stop since my AD gave me the call to pick up 1 month ago - I’ve been waiting for a Pelagos in the same dimensions as the BB58 and this new release ticks all my boxes. The sunray dial adds a different look from the matte bezel of my old Pelagos LHD and l actually like the ghost bezel effect in different light. I’m also quite careful with my watch so haven’t put a scratch on the bracelet or clasp. I had to get used to the extreme lightness but l’ve gotten used to it as it’s so comfortable for daily wear. The T-Fit clasp works great. Overall it’s a great new releases from Tudor. Oh, l also have a Submariner 124060 and Pelagos FXD, l think the P39 compliments both Sub and FXD perfectly. My Omega Boutique just called me to offer the Seamaster 300M in green - l declined the offer after buying the P39 because it’s so comfortable to wear due to the 39mm dial and 12mm thickness.
I hate the fact that dealers either cant get the watch or are selling only to friends / flippers / regular customers, I will give it 3 months or it is a Seamaster 300 for me, Tudor will lose me for good!
With all Tudor models recently. Wait a year and they are easy to get. Now around a year later the second hand market is overflowing with the Pelagos 39 to as low as 37000 NOK :)
@@AleksWatches its a nod to its intended use, watches are a product of consumerism not utility; no one uses these to dive. People might wear it while diving, but no one is using it to dive as a tool.
Great review! Try to find a NTH Näcken Modern Black No Date. 40mm 11,5 mm thick 48mm lug to lug. That's everything the smaller Pelagos should have looked like. It's steel though.
Great review Alex, This watch is a great release for Tudor. I like how they add the 39mm along with this new size. Consequently there are more choices for everyone regardless of wrist size . Love the minor Sunday dial and specs of the 39 I will definitely be purchasing this model
I have 6.25” wrist and had this watch for few weeks now. Yes you are right, the clasp is to long and takes almost the entire wrist under. The 39 size for me is a bit ok but not perfect. Scratched easily too but managed to remove the scratches, however, the clasp is a bit glossy now. 😢 I might be getting the Jubilee strap for it. But also I am eyeing on the Black Bay 54 with the clasp that is shorter than the Pelagos Clasp. Which is more suitable for my small wrist. So next goal is the Black Bay 54❤
Great review, but your cons seem to be personal preferences as opposed to reasons why “Tudor hasn’t hit a complete home run”. Many people like the clasp and dial…and supply not yet meeting demand is sort of covered in your title, and expected with this being a new launch. The ADs will tell you that they don’t expect this to be a problem long term
Very nice review! My hope is that this will be like other Tudor releases. Unlike Rolex, for example, if you are a little patient models become available at ADs. I expect you are right though, this will be very popular and so delays may be longer than typical.
Thanks Scott! Hopefully. In Sweden the BB Pro is still quite the ”waiting list” for it and allocation to AD seems so-so… but sooner or later you’ll be able to pick them up on the secondary market as well, and that mig happen..
Your not sure because of a sun ray dial,, which is hardly noticeable,,, its not limited production, its because of flippers the same as Rolex, that is the issue is sadly not going away. I have a non ceramic sub, ceramic sub 114060 and now this watch, I can say in all honesty its a belter, it really is, for the £3,500 price point very hard to beat.....
Agreed on the bang for the buck. Regarding the availability, as said, thats the case in Sweden. But also if you aint a good customer here the same goes for the BB Pro.
I am thinking either this or Pelagos LHD since I wear my watches on my left hand. I hate this forced scarcity marketing bullshit, since I wanted to try both of them at the local AD. Still, I didn't bother to check availability here (LHD was recently in stock but now gone, dunno about 39), but I can wait.
Hi Alex nice review. Not really a fan that they made mainstream Pelagos for "everyone". I would like to see Tudor P01 review from your side, that watch will be future classic.
Seamaster all the way, it has it's own identity. This one looks like a Rolex 16610 wannabe lookalike. Can't get over that. Just me and my friends of course. Ppl have varying tastes and opinions. Best regards

Home run

i dont like poor man lolecks laaaaaaaahhh
All I just saw, is the All black version santos on your wrist, beautiful~
Stay tuned 😉

Man your channel is massively underrated. Keep up the great work my friend 👍🏼
Cheers bro! Truly appreciate it 🙏🏼

Lol 3 months? Might as well buy your Seamaster tomorrow!
yeah, but the seamaster is ugly
It’s so weird because Jenny on the other channel says they’re everywhere. Maybe a US thing?
We will have two in stock this week that we sell for the list price if you are interested.
Seamaster of course. This Tudor is trying to look like a submariner 16610.
With all Tudor models recently. Wait a year and they are easy to get. Now around a year later the second hand market is overflowing with the Pelagos 39 to as low as 37000 NOK :)
Good review. Completely agree about the clasp, especially as this is aimed for people with smaller wrists.
Thanks! Yes its a bit contradicting with a divers extension on an ”Urban” timepiece..
I have a large wrist, 7.5" or 19cm. Its fits perfectly.

5:55 how are you supposed to try them on when none of these are at the ADs?
Well, I don’t know where you live however in some countries in Europe these are apparently readily available at AD’s
This channel is such a gem! 👍🏻
Thanks Dan, glad you like the content!
Great video. I love your videos.
What's your opinion about the scratch resistant? Many people say that is like a steel watches
Thank you! Not sure actually. I don’t own the watch..
I am thinking either this or Pelagos LHD since I wear my watches on my left hand. I hate this forced scarcity marketing bullshit, since I wanted to try both of them at the local AD. Still, I didn't bother to check availability here (LHD was recently in stock but now gone, dunno about 39), but I can wait.
Think the situation will get better in a couple of months after the initial hype
Aleks makes the best watch videos. Punkt.
Haha thanks! Don’t agree with you but appreciate it
Hi Alex nice review.
Not really a fan that they made mainstream Pelagos for "everyone".
I would like to see Tudor P01 review from your side, that watch will be future classic.
Thanks! Appreciate it. And I see your point as well.
Regarding the P01, we’ll see, not quite sure I have the same view on its future status 😉
Does this piece come with a "Rubber strap?"
And what is the price?
Love it!
Really hope for a blue one in the future. I already own a BB58 in black, so there is no reason to buy a black watch again from the same brand
Suits you well broski
Thanks bro
🔥🔥🔥
its all become a joke ads will be begging people to buy watches few years from now
The sunburst effect MAKES this watch IMO. It would be cheap looking without it
Is this better than an Omega Seamaster 300, other than the lower price?
I like it more
Seamaster all the way, it has it's own identity. This one looks like a Rolex 16610 wannabe lookalike. Can't get over that. Just me and my friends of course.
Ppl have varying tastes and opinions.
Best regards
This will be the perfect watch if it would have a date window. I don't understand why Tudor is not adding a date window to the 39 mm models.
nice content
Thanks!
is the 39 still a waitlist?
All the depends on Your local market
If you hesitate now, definitely not for you.
Ser bra ut imo. Det blev en Santos dlc till slut?
Bra öga, mer nästa söndag 😉
My fxdmn21 is better for sure
I’m just waiting for this one.
Meh, looks more like a Seiko SBDC101.
Buy a SanMartin BB58 instead.
Mmm, no.
Good review Tudor lacks class feels cheap enjoy your videos and presentation
Shut up poor peasant you can't even afford it
My take on it is because it tries too hard to look like bigger brother Rolex in almost all it's design range.
This looks like a 16610...sad
Still a Rolex half sibling with an identity crisis. It wants to look like bigger brother 16610 too much.
Pelagos without date is nosens
