Tudor Pelagos 39 Hands On Review

[@realzenith]

Thanks!

[@RedwoodAggie]

This is spot on, and I greatly appreciated the direct hands on comparison with the other 3 models. Rattly bracelet aside, it says a lot about the SPB143 that it even can make an appearance in this video with watches that cost 4-10x the price.

[@BowlOfSalmon]

yep.. that Seiko is a beast ! and comparisons were the most requested feature when I asked around .. so there..I aim to please :)

[@flow2tech]

@@BowlOfSalmon Yep... Tbh , the spb143 just makes the pelagos irrelevant to me in my collection...Sure , it's obviously a much better watch...I just don't think i could justify the amount in price difference.. The seiko scratches that itch just fine.

Loved the bezel sound comparison! Helpful review and agree, it does seem to lack something, despite being just about “perfect”. I wonder if the rehaut with cutouts was a large factor in the charm/character of its big brother 🤔

[@BowlOfSalmon]

Well I actually never liked the rehault and cutouts too much…. 🫣

[@Rizoh66]

Best video yet Tom! I love the Pelly39. It checks a lot of boxes. But, you said it right when compared to the Sub, it's probably going to be a filler until that call comes, IF that call comes.

[@BowlOfSalmon]

Right?! haha

[@robbasilio7235]

Your conclusion actually supports its uniqueness while providing “character” 1) titanium (lightweight) 2) color of titanium (gunmetal) 3) bezel lume 4) bezel sunray 5) red ‘Pelagos text’ 6) square lume plots with blue lume 7) dial is a different shade of black vs gray, matte, inky 8) tudor shield logo on crown 9) 1st generation of the 39 Pelagos !!!! 10) endlink with OEM rubber strap and attachment Most importantly like u said it’s yours!!! U build memories around it….you add character to it not the other way around

[@BowlOfSalmon]

You make me want one ! Oh right. It’s on the wrist. I need to do a follow up on this video. Claps bugs me. Sharp edges bug me. The lack of lume on the hands too. Otherwise. Great. Still boring. But great 😅

[@natusMCMII]

I got mine a little over a week ago and it's the best diver I've ever had, fits my small wrist perfectly, way better than a Sub for example. Great review, like you said, it definitely isn't the most exciting watch, but it can be the perfect diver if you like the size, lightweight nature of titanium and if you're not the "blingy" type of guy.

[@BowlOfSalmon]

Totally. That said. I feel I was rather negative about the p39. Yet. It doesn’t leave my wrist much these days

[@hendersonshorology]

What a great video Tom! Really enjoyed your take on this one. As a 58 and ND Sub owner personally I couldn’t find a place for the 39 in my collection, but that’s not to say I don’t like it. I was hugely impressed when I tried this on at the AD and have no doubt it’ll do wonders for Tudor amongst the general public, it’s a good looking watch. And you’re right, for sure we’re over-analysing things 😂 Wear it well and get that scratch count up! Cheers! 🖤

[@BowlOfSalmon]

thx Ryan ! yeah.. there is def overlap if you would own all four here. and yes, time to just enjoy this one

[@wayneguy6043]

Same here plus I have a few more rollies

[@brett233]

I’ve been waiting for this video! I totally agree with you. You can’t go wrong with any of these options. My favorite is still the BB58 for the more premium feel while still having character without worrying I’m going to get mugged lol. The SPB is such a knockout especially for the price. I’m still considering picking one up! The P39 is a great watch but I do feel like it is trying to be too many things at once. A tool watch with simple brushed finishing but also a Sub alternative with the all black look. I love it and again I love not feeling like I’m going to get mugged. But I would feel like I’m wearing a Sub homage which would bother me. The Sub is an icon and the no date is stunning. But at this point in my life, even if someone gave it to me for free I wouldn’t feel comfortable wearing it. It’s way too expensive, well known, and thief magnetic for me to actually wear out anywhere, especially because I wear divers as tool/everyday watches.

[@BowlOfSalmon]

find my match in overthinking a decision ! :). feel you for the sub feelings . i have the same ...

[@SolidCaseBack]

You hear it said in Special Forces communities such as the SAS that they look to recruit “the grey man” - a person who doesn’t stand out and can blend in. Sounds like this is the grey man of divers. And that sounds pretty perfect. Great video sir. Thank you!

[@BowlOfSalmon]

well said ! Thanks 🙏

[@jklfafa]

Thank you for mentioning the lume on the hands. I thought I was going crazy since no other reviewer mentioned it looking weaker than the markers. I felt like it looked half as bright and thought mine was defective. That being said, it does last all night. And I do love the watch. I have had many watches and find this watch to be an acquired taste. The clasp isn't as robust even with the micro adjustments. I wish they got rid of the wet suit and added more micro adjustment slots.

[@BowlOfSalmon]

I think it can just be explained because the material is different. In daylight(non lume) you can see they both have a different hue of white too. Hands have a more yellow Tone. I also wonder how sturdy that spring for the T fit adjustment will be over the years …

[@dlp55]

Me too! The lume on the hands is not as bright as the indices, I thought it was defective. Absolutely love the pelly39! And agree with Tom's review. Just enjoy it

I was on the list for this at two ADs until last weekend. Another watch that I had wanted for a long time surprisingly became available so I took my name off both lists, but still...this watch is the first Tudor that really made me go hunting for it. It fixed the things that made me not go get the BB58.

Great video brother, and congrats again!

[@BowlOfSalmon]

Thanks for the visit man !

[@AndrewH89]

I’ve been contemplating the idea of selling off most if not all of my collection to help fund this watch. I also own the spb143 and kept saying that it is similar enough to hold me off of wanting the Pelagos but the want for it keeps coming back. My grail would be something a long the lines of a Tudor sub so the Pelagos 39 is pretty much the closest thing to that. I’ve recently sold my BB58 something about the snowflake hands and round markers left me wanting more. I wonder if this watch can be a one watch collection for me. Thank you for your review but from the sound of it makes me hesitant to buy.

[@BowlOfSalmon]

Saying this As a big spb fan (and owner) I don’t connect with the p39 in the same way. Apart from the stuff that annoys mr. I guess it feels to modern for my taste to have the same connections. That saying I wish the spb was more refined and had that amazing movement that Tudor does have …

[@mancwatches]

Awesome video Tom! It’s an interesting one. I still think the 58 is the best option from Tudor, but i do like the new 39, im also enjoying the FXD a lot!! Be interesting to see your thoughts around the fxd vs 39 😁

[@BowlOfSalmon]

I’d love the fxd for sure. But I also would want to be able to put other straps and bracelets on it …. Blue 39. It’s just a matter of time no ?

[@anthonydo-watches]

What a great and balanced review. Good job.

[@BowlOfSalmon]

Much appreciated! thx

[@Supercruze]

Nice review. If Tudor had a fully indexed bezel like the FXD and keep the notched chapter ring around the case dial like the P42, that would have been something to stand in awe of. As it is, just not enough here to make me want this watch. A nice timepiece though. Enjoy.

[@BowlOfSalmon]

Just a blue p39 would change it tho. I love the fxd. Just fixed lugs and nato only wouldn’t be my thing tho

[@ghitsta]

You summed it up well Tom. I also got it the week it was released and after just over a month I have just sold it. There was something confusing about how quickly the excitement faded on this one. It really just didn't feel special on the wrist after a few weeks and I decided that my money is better put towards something that elicits that excitement.

[@BowlOfSalmon]

still struggling with that thought too... but for me its the bb58 on the bench atm ...

[@ghitsta]

@@BowlOfSalmon also a consideration for me as I have a BB58 too but there is too big of a price differential on the secondary market between the two at the moment so financially the P39 lost out!

[@watch_girl_life]

Love your take one it. For me there isn’t anything special that would make me want to join the hype train. Like most “divers” it is like the others where it is a great everyday watch. Don’t get me wrong your video makes it look cool. Tudor keep launching watch fan watches. The watches that draw people in. Great videography Tom. Your videos make the launch shots look amateur.

That is true too. But nothing wrong with any of these in the collection. And when going down the rabbit hole… we can add something a bit more different too

[@Mike-wc3jo]

I added a flik flak

[@BowlOfSalmon]

Hey. You probably beat the trend. Just look at swatch …

[@ijrm37]

I've had my watch for 2 months now and it's way more scratched up than yours......but great watch anyway.

[@BowlOfSalmon]

I rotate a lot 😂

[@dopagony9946]

You're paying for that "complementary" rubber strap..... Its all in the price.

[@BowlOfSalmon]

Ofcourse. Hurts less like this tho

[@steelsteez6118]

Great dimensions. Boring watch. This is the embodiment of "the safe option". If that's your thing, you'll absolutely love this.

[@BowlOfSalmon]

hey.. i wasn't even arguing about this in the video ;)

[@key4duty]

Boring as in perfect beater/toolwatch right. Doesn't have to be eyecandy with every watch imo

[@shermanpeh21]

This is the kinda watch you buy to enjoy it yourself albeit mundane and nothing special.

[@BowlOfSalmon]

Good summery. I got (yes .. sounds posh ) others that are special for me

[@wayneguy6043]

That clicking sound on the clasp……yikes

[@BowlOfSalmon]

Guess this is not the kind of asmr that turns you on ? 😂. A lot of titanium watches accentuate this more so it seems ….

[@halfsourlizard9319]

Why would anyone want their dive watch to be 'luxurious'? It's a DIVE WATCH ... it's a tool ... and (hot take) you're a tool if you wear one but aren't a diver.

[@BowlOfSalmon]

Looks or price ? And and what point is the price the factor for luxurious ? I love my seiko as much. Maybe even more at this point in time. But the p39 is moving up the ranks fast.

[@halfsourlizard9319]

@@BowlOfSalmon Legit questions ... Your pointing at the meta point that it's kinda arbitrary; I get it ... I land roughly at the point where you sacrifice function for appearance / signalling ... And, I hadn't had coffee when I made original apparently-way-salty comment: I just want the p39 on my wrist noooow!

[@Jkan2001]

Complains about the watch being boring while having the most boring monotone voice while reviewing it…

[@BowlOfSalmon]

I’ll be a sport and take it as constructive feedback. Bye now

Super boring piece, but not as boring as the new Tudor Ranger

[@BowlOfSalmon]

almost a constructive comment . i knew you had it in you

Its too light feels cheap

[@BowlOfSalmon]

🙄 It’s you who associates light with cheap

@@BowlOfSalmon true my friend, I can't get my brain to not work that way,but you're right it's my issue not anyone else's sorry

[@sensible202]

Perfectly boring. Too expensive for boring.

[@BowlOfSalmon]

Good news is that are watches for everyone out there. What’s your preference ?

TOO SMALL
