Hi guys
What do you think of the Tudor Pelagos? Is it worth the buck? coz it is using eta 2824 movement.. although i do not think eta 2824 movement is a problem as i have watch with the same movement. Just isnt it quite expensive compare as majority using the 2824 are below 10k while above 10k brand majority using eta 2892 movement. Just your comment or opinion on it.
Furthermore, I hardly see many AD or pre-owned shop carrying this model. Therefore, it is hard for me to compare and obtain the best price deal. Appreciate if any members having this model can pm me the price so i can understand and better negotiate with the AD.
Cheers
I consider this before, its a bit underated and often overlook if compare with its sibblings the black bay. I tried it in my hand, love the build, but not liking the hour hand, its too short and wide, unlike the snowflake of bb.
Agreed that 2824 is good, for this price point, off course can get other more affordable brand with same movement. But I dont believe the crap that the rolex finish cost / justify additional 6k (compare with a 4k watch with same movement). I love the Tudor brand, not merely because of its pysical quality, but also its aestatic beauty (much like how I love Bell & Ross, but couldnt pull the trigger)
TLDR: Pelagos (especially in bracelet) in rolex quality is a good buy, but only if u like it and willing to look beyond its pysical quality.
I have to respectfully disagree there.
There are eta 2824 watches costing less yes... but the movement does not make a watch.
Sometimes, one have to look past the movement.
The case, bracelet, clasp, bezel construction have to be top notch as well.
A tissot diver costs 1.6k and is fitted with a 2824.
Both are dive watches.
But hold them both side by side and the difference becomes clear.
The Tudor Pelagos is made to last... that's what Rolex quality is about.
Is it worth the extra moolah? I certainly think so.
I don't get what you mean by "look beyond it's physical quality"
