Very informative video! I can't believe the comments aren't full of people freaking out about sanding and the dunking in water. 😂

Had wanted a SMP for ages but. As some me with a smaller wrist size, the 42mm just felt a tad too big. And then I came across the midsize. Purchased a mint condition one earlier last year and haven't regretted it one bit. So comfortable and just fits perfectly.

Tudor's GMT's also outrank Rolex's GMT's in a key function - by incorporating a 48 click bezel, meaning you can track 30 min offset time zones (Newfoundland, central Australia, India etc) .. My FXD Pelagos GMT was one of the best purchases I made for this reason.

If you are the princess who was disturbed by the Pea, ( in H.C. Andersen's fairy tale.. ), then yes the 2.1 mm may bother you :)) Otherwise, (aside from being a spec-nerd) the height is almost unrecognizable on the wrist. Don't take my word for it and go try in an AD yourself and you'll see thickness is not an issue. Especially when it replaces an expensive ETA with an in-house movement, as a trade-off...

Just got this watch myself the main reason was I have a blue tag aquaracer and a black omega seamaster so the green compliments them both in the watch winder, personally the seamaster is the comfiest to wear all day. Great video btw.

I’ll forever maintain that, while the modern straight text and Tudor shield look great on the dials of the Pelagos watches, the Tudor rose and smiley text looks more fitting on the black bay diver dials. I wish my BB54 had the rose and smiley text. Dang you, Tudor 😤 😂

It's disappointing that this watch has an aluminum bezel instead of a ceramic one, as high-quality timepieces typically feature ceramic bezels.

Omega watches once again disappoint us with no Tfit. GS does the same with their new watches. Thank goodness for Tudor and Rolex. They listen to their customers, and that’s why I bought 6 Rolex watches for my family. I own four Tudors. I only have one GS and one Omega. No mas……

Unique design???? There is nothing "unique or original" about it, wow just WOW, this is a homage at best. A 300 M depth rating and yet NO crown guards...DUDE if you were ever going to take it diving, you would need crown guards as you do hit things which happens. This is just a sad sad review. Oh yeah great conversation starter...."Oh it's not a Rolex but is working hard to be one....." yeah great conversation, why not just buy a Steinhart and be done with it. Oh and the name "Silent Service" oh yeah how original, no connection to any submarine branch but trying to co-opt the name to make it seem like a Submariner....just sad lack of any UNIQUE or ORIGINAL feature or design, and yet your "review" is just shilling, pure shilling like a carnival barker.

Nicest seamaster in regard to size Omega makes now is the 39.5mm planet ocean. Perfect size as it is actually a 40.5mm which is the exact same size as the Sub.

I already have OG 2531.80 and gmt variant of this(2535.80). Normal person would say that's enough, but I am looking for this 2220.80 version as well. But hard to find one with perfect alu bezel insert. Great timeless peaces. I like them more than the first ceramic models and the current ones. Bracelet is perfect to me, perfect proportions of both sides of bracelet, and the watch and fhe clasp, and smooth as silk, no sharp edges. And of course wave dial is unique, always different looking.

Hmm. Cost no object I'd get an Explorer II Polar. But stupid money of Rolex these days, since it was just a couple years ago you could have had the Explorer II for under $7K and now it's crazy money, I'd have to put this Tudor on top. If they had a polar white dial option, it would be a no-brainer, IMO. Chunky for sure, but that may actually be some of its charm.

Just bought a brand new seamaster 300. love the watch except........the lume is really poor!!!! very difficult to read at night. The face indices are decent enough but.... the hands are barely visible at night. It was returned to Omega's Los Angeles service center and determined to be "within spec". If you do dive with your watch our wear a watch at night - this may not be your best choice. Oct. 2024

Hey, nice video. Might I offer a observation: your description of the Triplock Crown feature was a little unclear as it appeared you described the crown, caseback and crystal gaskets are what make up the Triplock system when in fact, the name refers to the 3-part waterproof barrier located within the crown assembly, hence Triplock *Crown*. Anyway, good luck and thanks for the video.
