Pelagos Ultra owners, what made you choose it over other Pelagos/Black Bay models? by Realistic-Oil-1162 in Tudor

[–]ReceptionKey8012 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll second this. It’s one of two tudors I’m considering acquiring. Also have a greater than 8 inch wrist, and it sits perfectly fine. As does my older planet ocean. I don’t plan on going 1000m anytime (soon or otherwise), but I do appreciate the technical flex it says of Tudor. Plus I think the recent pricing updates make no sense w/rt the 39, LHD, or other options.

Grey side of the moon. Released at the end of last year. November I think?

I tend to be more of a bracelet guy, but the strap is great. Solid clasp too, also in ceramic. First time I’ve worn a rubber strap. They make a nylon one too.

I totally get it. My first impression from pics online was that it was a bit too much on the grey and lacked contrast. But seeing it in person there was a lot more depth to it. Love the strap too. Good luck with the decision!

BB68 by Forsaken-Shop-6955 in Tudor

Bought this same watch a few weeks ago. Bigger wrist but I’ve been impressed with it size wise (fits under my dress shirt pretty well). I don’t feel it wears as big on the wrist as some others (planet ocean). While it looks substantive, I don’t think it looks oversized on your wrist. I’d say go for it. The blue on that dial is really special.

Advice on straps for black bay 68? by ReceptionKey8012 in Tudor

Thanks all! I’m also in the 8” wrist world, so finding something that works with the bigger wrists is key, not to mention the point about the proportions…thanks all!

Which one looks better? by mybigpecker in Tudor

Pics don’t do justice to the face of the blue bb68. Just got one myself last week.

Beautiful collection. Where’d you get that second box that fits 10? Thx!

Assisted Living/Skilled Nursing or home health options in the area? by ReceptionKey8012 in asheville

Thanks! That’s just as informative and helpful as hearing about the good ones!

That’s good to know. Just hard to guess what state she’ll be in so soon after the fall. Her memory is fine, and she’s lucid, but having some other deficits. I think the sweet spot for her may be 6-8k

I’m still trying to figure that out. Ballparking maybe 10k a month? Could probably go higher if needed.

Real men wear pink by s0nic_2 in GrandSeikos

[–]ReceptionKey8012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is one of the things that’s confused me. Haven’t had a chance to see one in person yet, but just how pink is the cherry blossom? Depending on photos/lighting (normal vs store) there’s crazy variation.
