Rolex has to use the same materials and for the money i totally agree.............nice click bait

[@mrdisco99]

I'm with Michael on this. Ignoring the price and brand, just looking at the watch and how it's built... the Pelagos beats the Sub. With the Rolex you're buying brand and status. With the Tudor you're buying a great watch. Also a correction, the movement in the Pelagos is a Tudor in-house movement, not at all related to ETA. I would argue it's a BETTER movement than the Rolex as it has a silicon balance spring, on top of the full balance bridge and 70 hour power reserve..

I’ve owned a Pelagos LHD for the last two years and it’s a fantastic watch. It regularly gets compliments, more so than my Rolex, which I love but is very common to all finance bros, tech bros, lawyers and doctors. Each time you get on a plane, take a look at the wrists as you’re boarding. You’re typically gonna see several black subs on the way to your seat. Love it but unfortunately, there’s nothing special anymore about a standard black Rolex Submariner

I don’t get why people complicate the situation. If you want a nice mechanical watch, you have various brands to choose from, and each has to make a profit, as does the shop selling it to you. It’s no different to most other things. The nicer it gets, the more it costs generally. If people think the cheaper stuff is just as nice …….. just go buy it. If people want to use sundial or their phone…… just do that. Simples 😉

I like them both. My problem with the sub is everyone has it. I see them everywhere. I hardly see the pelagos. I like the not so popular rolex watches. Milgauss, gmt root beer, rhodium Yachtmaster. Etc

[@arghjayem]

I used to have a milgauss (the blackface version). That was a great what and hugely underrated for what it was. The only thing I hated about it was the high polish finish, just a scratch magnet. I mean it’s always described as a “tool watch” but the high polish just never matched with that. If they had a brushed finish version it would be a huge seller IMHO.

[@lonewolfemcquade8133]

Love the Milgauss but I hate the polished center links. They look absolutely horrible when scratches pop up and I'm not someone with worries about scratches but on polished center links they look terrible. Polished center links are the worst choice for a sports watch ⌚

[@edo7052]

I really liked the Pelagos on paper but in the metal I was underwhelmed. The bezel action was really good and the size was nice on my wrist but damn it is so light! The lightness combined with what felt like quite a flimsy bracelet meant it felt like far less of a quality product than the Submariner. Granted they aren’t the same price but the Pelagos isn’t really a Submariner alternative. I would go Omega instead.

[@MyVideosWillCalmU]

Agreed exactly how i felt when I tried it on.

[@arghjayem]

I’d say the Pelagos is better than the Sub on paper, but I’d rather have a sea dweller 4000- the model that briefly came in between the older style 40mm 16600 sea dweller and the monster sea dwellers after like the James Cameron. It has the 40mm size, no date bubble and the higher depth rating (just to boast about don’t think anyone takes a dive watch that deep these days) PLUS it has the modern solid link bracelet and machined clasp as opposed to the 16600 which has the old hollow links and stamped bracelet.

The lightness is why they used Titanium I love my light titanium bracelet

[@watchr0b]

[@brett233]

For the price you do get more with Tudor’s watches in general. But you can’t deny the history and status that the Sub has. For the same price, any reasonable person would take the Sub. But I don’t think it’s worth over twice as much at retail and three times as much in the market today. But out of these two watches, I’d probably stick with the BB58. The black gilt has more character than either in my opinion and it’s even cheaper than the Pelagos especially second hand. I’ve seen them on straps as low as $2,500 and on a bracelet as low as $2,800. That’s where I’d go and spend the difference on a nice dress watch and a GShock to complete a perfect 3 watch collection.

[@VinceLeFeu]

If you live in an European capital and take public transportation often, you definitely would prefer the Tudor rather than the Rolex.

[@robotstobor3388]

not a fair comparison, I have tried on both and own a submariner, I was a bit shocked at the dial of the Tudor, it appeared a bit blank.

[@visiblemode]

Comparing the lume issue is tricky because Rolex doesn’t lume the bezel. There are incidences of the lume pip falling out of the sub. So, lume can always fall out, when it’s present. The lume doesn’t fall out of the vast majority of Pelagos watches, but it’s not even present in 100% of Subs. Not saying which is better. I have and love a Pelagos and have only handled Subs briefly.

[@goboogeeee]

Great video guys. Keep them coming. Here's my two cents. If you want to say the sub is better looking, has a finer pedigree, is more reliable, or that it's "more luxurious" you can make those arguments. But if you say the sub is jewelry and the pelagos isn't, I don't think that argument holds water. If the primary difference between the Pelagos and the Sub is that the Sub is a piece of jewelry then the Tudor is what? A tool watch? A function first, no-BS reliable watch whose primary purpose is to be legible, waterproof, and accurately measure elapsed time while diving? Ok but by the way, it costs 4500 dollars. There goes the no-frills argument. Try explaining that to a non-watch person diver and you might get a funny look. There are any number of dive computers and quartz watches that do all of those things better for a few hundred bucks or less. The reason it costs 4500 dollars is that its a well made mechanical time piece bringing you not just rugged dive-watch functionality but also swiss tradition, brand pedigree, and a handsome luxurious (sub the word "expensive" if you feel that term doesn't apply here) aesthetics. In other words "jewelry." In other words, BS. I'm a diver. Among the watches I own are a tudor diver, a rolex diver, and 2 or 3 dress watches as well. I love them all for what they are. But let's be real. What they are is jewelry.

[@dillcarver7731]

The Rolex Sub has become jewelry, the Pelagos is a pure tool, a work instrument. They are completely different watches. I've worn the Pelagos 42 for four years working offshore .Lightweight yet chunky titanium tank, worn on the rubber strap, bashed daily, immersed in oil, grease and rancid sea water it has never missed a beat. I'd be scared to wear a Sub for work but Ill always have a Pelagos on my wrist for as long as I work.

Companies are always reluctant to poach their flagship model sales with a lower model that's "too good." I prefer the philosophy of "if we don't poach our own sales, someone else will." You want that sale, even if it comes at the expense of your flagship. Don't leave a void for your competition.

Yes, if you ask watch nerds that foam at the mouth for the Rolex name/allure, of course you would pick a Rolex. I had an 114060 and sold it because I enjoyed wearing watches like a Turtle in most occasions. I used to skateboard down the Mission Beach/PB (San Diego) board walk with my sub and it felt wrong, a small pebble and replacing the glass/ceramic bezel would have been north of $2,000.... why? meh, got rid of my Rolexes (3). Waiting to buy a Pelagos 39. Seikos keep my wrist warm these days, and I'm having a blast; SBDC101, SBDC171, SPRE93J8..... my needs are met. Cant wait to get my hands on the Pelagos. I wouldn't get the Rolex again. I do regret selling my OP39 blk. That was a great everyday watch. Sub? you compulsive watch buyers can bid over that and pay thousands over MSRP for you to realize a few months later that its just a shiny object with a nice label.....

Tudor Pelagos design looks way better than Rolex...hands down.

Narrator : Then there were my father and mother, two people who could find an argument in any subject. Father : Wait, you think the Atlantic is a greater ocean than the Pacific? Mother : No. Have it your way. The Pacific is greater.

So I'm going to blow up your argument. Christian. You say "the allure of Rolex" as though that is a guaranteed thing. I would argue that in a room full of Rolex, which happens all the time, the Tudor is more interesting. The Tudor has better materials and the same quality movement objectively. The question becomes who are you buying to watch for and what do you truly want? Assuming that you want to be an individual, then if you're a Rolex guy or Rolex guy, you're a Tudor guy then you're a Tudor guy. Allure based entirely on other people's perceptions and trying to impress is not the way that truly impressive people think. Of course I'm just playing devil's advocate here, both watches are awesome. There's also the argument to be made about occasion. I do not think that the TUDOR works well with a suit. The submariner can go anywhere truly boardroom to bottom of the ocean.

“Metallurgy” The science behind the materials of metal is laughing at everyone that just doesn’t understand lol but in other words titanium>steel

[@WestCoastAce27]

Agree. You probably heard my laugh at the comment a few pages above yours from the ‘shocked’ watch guy who thought the Pelagos was too light. He’d probably wet himself if someone handed him a composite skin off an airplane.

[@MisterKnightly]

Yes, it is.

Profits?..Rolex is owned by the Hans Wilsdorf foundation and is non profit..all excess profits from the business beyond those needed for investment etc are paid to the foundation for its charitable purposes
