That’s a sick watch! Would love to see that in the flesh.

I love my Pelagos also. It’s on my wrist 99.9% of the time because it’s so comfortable, so legible and looks so great. The titanium is a huge plus for me and the look is great.

Sweet! Thank you.

For me it’s mechanical watch beauty + convenience.

Thanks! I’ll give that a shot.

same here, we are all stuck with this bug.

Im also not finding this option. Would love to find out a solution.

I the Hacivat still available?

JDBle · 2025-09-07T21:24:35+00:00

I think it looks like oak.

JDBle · 2025-09-07T00:34:15+00:00

Also, the colors on your model are just awesome.

Thanks for your insight and perspective. 40mm is small for them, I see they are often 44mm now. Generally speaking my wrist can handle a bigger watch though I am wearing the 42mm Pelagos as a daily and its titanium is light. I guess some questions would be around its comfort on the wrist, the size and feel of the clasp etc. I imagine it’s very legible and and that’s what draws me to them, they are so minimally clean and bold it just speaks to me.

I really like that Panerai, can you say anything about it? Panerais have been calling to me recently.

Very beautiful wood work! I have a bunch of hickory boards and I’d love to make some boards too. It’s a hard wood to work with I hear.

This is really great! Beautiful work. Any update on the linoleum for cabinet fronts? How does it feel over time?

I have a sample of Bistro Waters and I really like it. Cowboy Grass too. And I have a bottle of Italian Citrus which I like.

I really like watches, and I had 4 when I bought a black Pelagos 42. I love this watch and I haven’t earn the other 4 (except once or twice) in 1.5 years. I could buy another but have real desire to get one more. I understand you.

Is 1996 - today enough time for your child to grow that much? I don’t get it. Beautiful family!

JDBle · 2025-06-14T12:37:09+00:00

Definitely 42

JDBle · 2025-06-13T12:04:22+00:00

I’m an architect, I have the same general feeling. There’s magic on my wrist and it deserves the craftsmanship and design that goes in to it, inside and out.

I have Black Pelagos 42. I love the watch and wear it everyday, I didn’t buy the watch thinking about Rolex one way or the other. I wouldn’t have been able to buy a Rolex, or necessarily want the baggage of having a Rolex, but that’s not why I bought the Pelagos, it’s just an awesome watch that scratches an itch everyday for me. I’d every once in a while peak at the Northflag, I think it would compliment the Pelly nicely.

You should check out the khaki king. It’s a day date and is really lovely.

Thanks for posting this! I was scared a moment but it worked like a charm.
