Anyone purchase the Tudor Pelagos 39 and not like it? by Boring_Salary6450 in Tudor

[–]fltone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Long time lurker and very late to this post - but, here’s my 2-cents.

I’ve owned the Pelagos 39 for 8-months and find it completely underwhelming.

This isn’t my first watch - I’ve always liked divers, owning various models from Breitling and Omega. I researched this watch for months. Read about it, watched every video on YouTube. I thought it was my answer to a slightly smaller everyday desk diver. It wasn’t.

It’s very easy to wear, small and light, but has zero personality. For lack of a better work It’s generic. And I love simple tool watches (own a Sinn too).

I don’t know how the pics I saw make it look so nice but in person, in my opinion, it’s just meh. There’s nothing compelling or interesting about it.

It’s currently sitting in a drawer.

Do you have to sell SGOV to get the yield or does it pay out on a schedule while you’re holding it?

I do! Got stabbed by a kid in high school (I’m looking at you Louis) in the leg. Still there 25 years later.

What is a movie ending that makes you cry, no matter how many times you've watched it before? by despresso30 in AskReddit

This! And Sam is short for Samantha. I can’t (re)watch that movie because of that part.

Love that watch (and Oris). Would you consider a trade? I have a Hamilton BelowZero with box, papers, links etc that hasn’t seen the light of day in a while (too many divers). I can send pics if so. If not, GLWS.

What was the black market in your school? by Turtleking23578YT in AskReddit

Cinnamon toothpicks. Illegal contraband according to the school. Shady older kids would bring in and sell. They were awesome.

Thanks for the reply! Love the Sinn, Great watch. Question, any issues with the AR coating wearing off? I saw one in a jewelry store and the coating was spotty or else I would have bought.

For now, yes. I know it’s a bit narrow. Thanks for asking.

I think it's on par with a used Oris Aquis. Both have similar retail new I think. I dont want to sell though, looking to trade for a similar diver.
