Both look great but to be honest the aged lume on the sinn looks a tad overdone and the shape of the pelagos case is really nice. The pelagos and the black bay line are some of my favourite watches right now especially in the sub category.

This always gets me.  Tudor went with a Grade 2 Ti, instead of the higher performance Grade 5 Ti. Why, no one knows.

Grade 2 Ti is more pure in the sense that it doesn't have aluminium and vanadium added to make Grade 5. But it is inferior to the Grade 5 as it doesn't comply to high stresses such as in aviation. As an example, Grade 5 is about three times stronger than Grade 2. Of course there are other properties where Ti has over stainless steel, especially weight where it is the preferred choice.

In that sense, Grade 2 is also softer, hence being less scratch resistance than Grade 5 and normal stainless steel.

for me it would be tudor. Cause of the movement inside when compared to Sinn (SW), Tudor pelagos with a bigger power reserve and COSC certification, making the Sinn watch nothing great..

Pelagos never goes wrong, either for a diver or future value, sinn’s value is dropping significant lately especially the U1 series.

My vote goes to tudor
Special LHD and snowflake hands is cool at night
However I would stick to normal black bay or pelagos as LHD doesn't really sings to me

I did compare the normal pelagos (blue / black) and the LHD... In the end, its the color combination of the LHD that won.. :)

True, the lume on the dial, hands and bezel are mesmerizing!

I got a Pelagos. The review below. Loads of positives but there are some negatives you need to know. Good luck! http://westernwatch.blogspot.com/2018/07/tudor-pelagos-titanium-500-meter-blue.html
