·Well I guess it was the same for the GMT and people have been begging for a 39mm Pelagos, no doubt Tudor will have initially made 2 or 3 for each country because that's how things work these days... hell you can't even buy a plastic Speedmaster why on Earth would anyone expect to be able to buy a proper watch right away. 😡

·Maybe TAG are doing this all wrong, they just produced thousands of watches and shove them straight out there, maybe they should create a shortfall to create a buzz?

·This is something that TH seems to lead the market in - getting stock in stores the day the announcement is made.

·Wonder if Pelagos 42mm owners now feel like 45mm Heuer 01 skeleton owners when the 43mm version came out?
Smug and dismissive. 😎

·Looks rather compromised to me. It looks like half the dial furniture is missing.

·This should tick all the boxes for me, ti, 39mm, decent movement, but Im just not feeling it. Maybe because I already have a beater dive watch (that I prefer the look of) and this is too close to the black bay 58 without the feeling of perfection you get from slipping on the 58.
Probably if I owned less aquaracers, I'd be interested

·I'm sure it will sell but I can't help but think it is a little like the 43mm skeletons, which didn't have the all black titianium case. You're getting it in a smaller size, but the bigger one is still the real deal. Sure no one needs a helium escape valve and 500M of water resistance but knowing there's a 'better' version available out there kinda sucks.

·For £250 more you get the funky clasp, the dial step, lume surrounds, an extra 3mm and an extra line of text. It's a no brainer.

·I like it and am "feeling it". I would certainly be interested in purchasing if I didn't already have a BB58 and my Squale 1521. If I was being super-critical...
I'd have liked a date complication
I'm not so keen on the burst finish on the bezel
I'd like it in blue
But the reality is, even if they added those things, I'm not sure it's a better value proposition than my BB58.

I prefer a date over no-date too if I’m honest….. and just need to see it in the flesh. Just cant beat seeing something in the flesh and trying it on… ideally next to a LHD pelagos. Very quickly settles things one way or the other!

·Funny, the no-date is one thing I love about this and the BB58 - I like the symmetry without it and I never trust the date on any of my watches because I swap around a lot. Back when I only wore my quartz AR it was a much useful feature
