I have a quartz Tuna which somehow i think it fits on my small 16.5cm wrist, so I think the GS should be fine.

I too have a seamaster 41mm, think it is comparable with Todor GMT size.

I know the 2 tone Gmt looks uncle, but somehow it grows on me the more i see it.. maybe im getting older that's why.. lol

GS is always a holy grail to me (am a Seiko guy) , wanted the SBGE275 but way out of my budget, hence maybe will settle for SBGE275.

Dilemma dilemma.. :(
I'm not a fan of the power reserve on their spring drive stuff but if you dont mind it then sure

Happy that Tudor finally moved to release a 39mm Pelagos. Guess have to see the sunray bezel and dial in person first though. The Pelagos isn't a Pelagos without that no nonsense matt dial to me..

the sunburst dial is a joke on Pelagos.

Nice. I bit the bullet and ordered the orange strap from vagenari as well. Didn’t want to at first because it’s selling at oem price for made in china rubber strap without even the attachment piece… but oh well probably not going to be able to get the oem orange strap anytime soon.

Size is good thou. Seems like "small" trend is back and I hope it will stay. No date too!

Yah, have to see dial in person, hopefully not so dazzling and more discreet then it should be fine

My hope is that the sunray effect is subtle.. But agree, it should just be matte.. Why fix something that isn't broken?

That said, I do feel that the Pelagos doesn't get as much attention as the Black Bay overall (maybe LHD had a bit more buzz).. But can't say for sure. Could be a pricing issue also.

Happy that it comes with a smaller size but totally doesn’t make sense cause it’s the same territory as the black bay 58. Like a titanium bb58. But then I haven’t handle it yet so maybe it is different.
If they keep everything the same and make it thinner without the date then will be perfect
