The Tudor Pelagos FXD (Nearly) Three Years Later

/ thedeeptrack
It's been nearly three years since the Tudor FXD was released, and in that time it's amassed a rather peculiar reputation. This week, we take a look back at what it's meant over that time, including a personal look back from Blake Buettner.

I got a MN23 FXD and wear it on an elastic pass through Watch Gecko Octopod strap & buckle. Keeping the original two straps not used. Love wearing it. Flys under the radar.

Just picked mine up (black) about a month ago. I had a an OG Pelagos and briefly a P39, but I think this is the sweet spot for me.

[@TheDeepTrack]

FXD hits a little different than those others for sure

[@allanbrown8137]

I’m a drummer and have popped too many spring bars. I love my OG Pelagos and bought a San Martin fxd to try before I buy. So, I’m saving up my gig money…

[@dannyg6592]

I tried on a blue FXD at my AD last year. Very nice watch, it fit great on my 6.75" wrist. It is my favorite Pelagos.

[@digitalentinc]

Great video brother, love both my FXDs but also favor the black one over the blue. Look forward to seeing you at the next Redbar event!

[@climb3r18]

The FXD MN served as my go to work watch for a good year and was nearly perfect for my needs. I have popped spring bars on more than on occasion and need a watch with good long lasting lume. It was only dethroned by the FXD Black due in large part to its unidirectional 60 click count up bezel, which makes it even better fit for my needs.

[@pruteanu6]

it is my only Tudor .. love it ... I use it with a Garmin nylon strap(perfect fit)... the original velcro is not quite good, the rubber is ok...

[@odedroesler]

Me too!

[@coloradoradorado]

Just recently became an FXD black owner and it has seldom left my wrist since I got it. It’s certainly a special watch, as you said. It fits right into my collection adjacent to my CWC SBS.

[@richardwarren2024]

Great video, Blake. I think you’ve really captured the special feelings one has when owning and wearing this watch. My FXD MN is my most worn watch amidst a sea of Rolex, Blancpain and omegas.

[@zachkramer1770]

I had an MN 21 and sold it and I regret it. Been looking for a replacement for a while

[@antonrevenaugh7988]

Would love to see omega create an all dlc black FXD in the old military British navy sword hand configuration for SBS or SAS

[@AZ-lz2ep]

Same. I do not like the skeleton hands that omega uses on their modern SMP.

[@Pete22222]

Had my MN since early ‘22. Still absolutely love it. Practical, durable, accurate, and so unique. It’s a niche piece that isn’t for everyone, but I love everything about it. Will never sell it.

[@drkharfan6733]

Bought mine as a 30th gift truly love it definitely a watch nerds watch

[@user-og2ro4ux3n]

I still really like the overall design of the watch. It is a simple, readable, well-thought purposeful device. To me, the FXD is the first Rolex-Tudor watch that lives up to the original milsub, and not just because it has fixed bars. My only question is about the choice of titanium for a watch that's paired with a light weight fabric strap. Corrosion resistant 904l steel would have been my choice.

[@onifrakimarq7663]

Love the mn fxd and I hope, I'll get mine soon.

[@999TheHairDk666]

As for other fixed bar watches, I personally also enjoy the CWC SBS Divers Issue quite a bit. A little different, but cool none the less - especially with its history.

[@TheDeepTrack]

CWC SBS is high on my list of watches to snag, such a classic look with an awesome story.

[@kabal911]

Love my MN22 ❤ For me it is a perfect daily driver. My only “complaint” is that I had to send my strap in for a warranty replacement after 15 months

[@finenavaljewelry5798]

FXD MN is one of those watches that is perennially on my list but it keeps being bumped down - by BB41 Burgundy first, then P39, then Pelagos LHD. This year has to be done because I need the MN 24 because I'm 50 this year. Fingers crossed.

[@TheDeepTrack]

Rooting for you!

[@johnklonaris9136]

Great diver

[@vijaymehra1101]

I like this, but its very plain and simple, $3k watch. But even then I dont think i would purchase lacking excitement. But I do liike the tacticle feels, the strap. Tool/ beater watch, $3k is getting up there for a beater.
