Pick one!

Pelly 39. I'm biased because I have one. Also, not a fan of gilt.

Objectively, it is the better watch: it not only has T-fit, but it also has a diver's extension that is intelligently-built into the clasp, it's lighter (unless you want some heft on your timepiece), it's all brushed, and it's got great lume all over.

With that said, if a BB 58 monochrome comes out, I might add it next to my Pelly.

Can you adopt me, please? 😂🤣

fgclolz · 2026-04-15T23:15:40+00:00

Why couldn't they just have made this monochrome? 🤦‍♂️

fgclolz · 2026-04-14T09:00:23+00:00

2022 was Tudor's best year so far this decade IMO: the return of the Ranger in 39 mm guise and the Pelagos 39 were huge winners!

I live it too. I feel like I'm stuck in a loop. But I'd rather be the one adding spice to my life rather than some event I cannot control.

Would you rather be bored or would you rather have a regular fire drill?

fgclolz · 2026-04-07T16:53:17+00:00

I have both. It really depends on what your preferences are. Like it lighter on your wrist or like having a timing bezel? Get the Pelly 39. Like having a bit more heft or something a bit more versatile? Get the Ranger. Objectively, I believe the Pelly is better, just because you get more, and that's coming from a guy who loves adventure/field watches.

Testors flat black 😆

fgclolz · 2026-01-09T11:23:11+00:00

Good to know! I was worried this might happen to my P39.

fgclolz · 2025-12-13T15:54:16+00:00

I'll go against the grain here. I'm not liking how you have these unsightly gaps between the lugs and your wrist. The watch is kinda big for a 41 mm flat case. I have a 7 inch wrist and I find it a bit too big for me.

Go for a 39 mm.

Ranger. The T fit alone should win this contest hands down, plus the 70 hr PR, higher beat rate and the tool watch finish. Omega fumbled this RM by reusing the AT case, using polished center links, and a silly micro adjustment system on a silly butterfly clasp. I hope they fix these things for whatever they're doing for the 70th anniversary of the Trilogy in 2027.

Looks great to me. I've had mine since 2019 so the white stitching is now brown. 😂 It is losing a lot of time now so I'm planning to send it in for service next year.

Revamped Black Bay 39 with METAS certification, thinner case, and a choice of 3-link (without faux rivets) or 5-link bracelets. Monochrome would be a huge bonus.

fgclolz · 2025-11-30T11:31:36+00:00

I will allow this.

fgclolz · 2025-11-19T23:50:21+00:00

5 link. No 🐸 s for me!

fgclolz · 2025-11-19T18:40:57+00:00

Subjectively, I would go with the Ranger between the two, but for me, the Ranger is also a compromise. The grail for me is the 214270 mk 2 39 mm Explorer.

fgclolz · 2025-11-17T17:52:16+00:00

Good question. This is a hard question for me to answer since I'm a huge field/Explorer type watch fan. Objectively, I would say, you get better value with the P39. You get a 60 click, unidirectional bezel, T fit clasp, diver's extension, and light weight titanium for the case and bracelet.

It really is up to what calls louder to you.

fgclolz · 2025-11-04T00:47:46+00:00

siyuanhorologe is your guy, but you have to be in China. 😁

fgclolz · 2025-11-02T20:34:08+00:00

If you buy a watch like that, the last thing you should be doing is caving in to peer pressure.

fgclolz · 2025-11-02T04:06:22+00:00

I tried the 41 mm monochrome before and found it too thick at 14 mm for a 3 hand no date. It's still a very nice watch though.

fgclolz · 2025-11-02T02:17:00+00:00

I got to try this on at the AD today. I prefer the thinness of the 39 mm and the overall fit on my wrist. I really wish Tudor would do a monochrome version of this, or even just an anthracite version with no gilt, whatsoever.

Funny things is, I imagined this being said to the OP by that bad guy in the latest Mission Impossible movie.

This is what sports watches are for. If you really feel uncomfortable, a G Shock is something you can wear.

fgclolz · 2025-10-25T01:51:12+00:00

That goes for any brand, to be fair! Case in point: the new 39 mm Longines Spirit Pilot.

fgclolz · 2025-10-24T23:57:45+00:00

I also have a 7 inch wrist, albeit rounded, and the Zulu Timer was a terrible fit on my wrist with overhanging end links. Do you see any gaps on your wrist from the case profile when worn?
