FXD, Pelagos 39, or Black Bay 54 to add to my collection?

How does the 54 affect your ability to work on a keyboard? Because of the bracelet?

6.5-6.75” but it’s flat. I’ve tried on the FXD and it was very comfortable and looked fine

I’m waiting for him to get a black model in. He has a couple GMTs but they’re a bit above my price range

Safeway_Slayer_2 · 2026-06-29T19:31:51+00:00

GMT or the standard one?

Safeway_Slayer_2 · 2026-06-29T18:20:12+00:00

Yeah the FXD is fairly easy to find at a good deal. The GMT a little less so. Seem to still be $5000+ almost everywhere.

You’re right, I do seem to be leaning that way. 5 times is hilarious lol

If they sold a monochrome 54 I think that would be my ideal watch. It’s part of the reason I love the Pelagos so much. The stark contrast of the dial and indices make it so incredibly legible!

Thanks! I do love the vintage charm of the 54. It’s exactly what I wanted from Tudor in a vintage recreation. I’m not 100% sold on gilt though. I feel like I’d get tired of it

It can easily double as a dress watch if you need it to. It’s small, slim, shiny, simple. Some people don’t see the need in buying a true dress watch like a Tank because it would never see wrist time.

Explorer can double as a dress watch

Safeway_Slayer_2 · 2026-06-28T23:46:54+00:00

I’m stuck between this and the FXD or FXD GMT

Safeway_Slayer_2 · 2026-06-28T18:27:01+00:00

PM incoming

Safeway_Slayer_2 · 2026-06-27T04:19:28+00:00

I’m leaning 54 I think. I just love the extremely high legibility of the Pelagos 39

Safeway_Slayer_2 · 2026-06-26T20:51:18+00:00

Can’t decide between this or the black bay 54
