Similar movements int he Pelagos and BB though aren't they, is it just the slimness of the BB58 variant that has caused issues?
What watch do you wear?
- Thread starter Doran
- Start date
In the later Pelagos yes similar but the BB58 version was specifically made smaller just for that model due to case size hence the randomness of issues that crop up here and there. The Pelagos one I have not read of any issues to date though.

WUS are much better at trolling BB58 issues. Apparently the biggest complaint is the date doesn't flick over, the Chrono sticks and the moonphase is off.

Now that is a tool watch 
Some photos make it look very dull however but others I have seen make it look really good with a lot of texture detail. And finally they've made the movement look good now as opposed to the grey dull one in the silver.
41mm case though so sadly it's not something that will ever be in my shopping basket :/

I'm a slim jim so its perfect
, why i love my pelagos so much also is because of the small case
Anyone daily a Marloe?
I've had my eye on one of these since they dropped the price:

It uses Miyota automatic movement rather than an in house but as they are a small and relatively new company that's totally acceptable.

I've had the Morar Black Edition before. Very good watch, lume is unmatched by anything short of Lum-Tec for lume brightness or the latest X1 grade compounds. The movement is the 9039 which is Miyota's higher end movement and very well regarded and accurate.
The Morar is end of line now though hence the £299 price for last remaining stock.

Just checked out the Black Bay ceramic. I'm a massive fan of ceramic bezels, but not feeling the design on this, I think the BB's look way better not being in black casing.
Maybe this will be the start though of ceramic bezel upgrades across their exsisting lines.

Looking at real world pics it does seem Tudor missed a beat with the lume colours. Why didn't they opt for a more suiting day lume colour considering they changed the movement paint job to match? The markers just stand out too much I think.

Another one that has caught my eye is the Breitling SuperOcean Heritage II 42mm. I need to get it and the Tudor on my wrist to see how they wear. Seem to be going for about 3.5k so in budget.
Funny little world this, someone off youtube contacted me offering to buy my Casio Cognit Schema. They are fine with £200 + insured shipping to Saudi Arabia where they live and they are happy to pay by bank transfer too. Thoughts? I did put the watch up for sale a while back but then removed it as had second thoughts but knowing my luck, the donor module EL backlight will die like the original one did due to the age and I'll be miffed once again...
hmm!
In unrelated news, taking the Hamilton off the NATO was the best thing, the caseback even though is just steel, looks really nice as it plays with the light. I guess you don't need an open back to appreciate the reverse end of a watch

Quite like the look of this .. 43mm is a tad big though. Steinhart any good ?
