It's not injected meh? Not according to Hodinkee: https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/tudor-pelagos-review

"The bezel of the Pelagos is pretty interesting itself. Like the modern-day Submariner's bezel, it is made of ceramic. But in the case of the Tudor, it is injected, matte ceramic, so you would almost never know it. Luminous material is injected directly into the ceramic for hashing. "

Wah are you in sales? Assumptive close hehehe.

But seriously, the opportunity I have is now a had - it's been reserved. Oh well. Money saved.

If I may ask separately, what's everyone's view on Baum and Mercier watches? Used to be popular a while back, no? But in the last (maybe?) 100 pages I don't think I've seen one mention.

Interesting, means not the straight markers on the bezel are not painted on for sure. Dunno what they did though.

What did that guy do to his own clasp though, lol.

I think injected block ba, looking at how it's done. Wonder if it's the case for the numbers. The ones that I have seen with lume going missing is for numbers, the horror.

Anyways, I not as rich as some of the guys here, so no, can't use Pelagos as G-Shock, hehe. :s13: So should hold up fine, fingers crossed.

Yar, not bad price. Some more got box and papers, no major scratches.

I remember seeing somewhere that bezel replacement in SG is about $600 though, so if you add that in.. Still a lot cheaper than Carousell price, haha.

Very very nice. You tempt me ****. Brown is certainly more versatile, if only they let you choose which to get when you buy your watch. Or even better, provide both!!

Just ordered a set of hands from Yobokies. Those who bought from him before, how long did it take for your items to arrive from HK?
