Nice BMW GS beneath the Pelagos.. Thinking of buying a GS hehe

Sorry for changing topic a while there..

But Pelagos and Submariner will probably be the only two divers I'll own.



Oh btw, I have a 6" wrist. Small Asian wrists too.

The rubber strap on your Tudor looks great! is that Rubber B?  :thumbsup:

Nah not rubber B. Stock strap with Tudor buckle.
Uses the same Pelagos end links as well.

thanks guys for input.

gathering bullet hopefully before raya.

so far:

1. 38.5mm PO
2. 40mm speedy
3. old 40mm sub (far fetch)

since blackbay is tudor, and i ve already own one, thats against the principle one watch per brand.
pelagos is definitely too big.

Since you are looking for a Diver piece, you do know that the Speedy ain't from the diver genre and WR is only 100m, right? But it's a beautiful piece nonetheless, with my personal preference towards the panda dial. Here's a pic of my 40mm Speedy Panda, note that the Speedy lume is a far cry compared to Pelagos' :

If you can find this, it is also a beautiful dive watch, I'm looking for this myself at a cheaper price

Zenith Rainbow Elite (39.5mm, discontinued, ~46mm lug to lug)


I think price should be around 2000-4000USD (up to 16k RM) so within your budget, but I have been keeping an eye out and not noticed any private sellers letting it go :(
