Nice write up on it here http://www.ablogtowatch.com/tudor-pelagos-watch-review/

Great review, albeit a touch out of date. They adopted Rolex movements for all models in 2015.

I wanted a Submariner, my dream watch, but the Pelagos is virtually identical, from the same shed, and a third the price, plus Tudor isn't quitemas common as Rollocks.

Each to his own. I'd rather spend that sort of money on another bike. I have never understood the attraction of expensive watches. Currently my watch of choice is one of these

£12.79 from 7dayshop (inc delivery). It does all I need from a watch - indicates the time, and does so quite accurately. I also like the simple, classic, understated design.

I've got 8 bikes! My main knockabout watch is a G-Shock, my slightly posher - but still manly - watch is my Traser Code Blue, and I have my Vivoactive HR for sporty stuff.

With the Tudor I'll have a posh watch that can also survive some knocks, so it'll take over all main watch duties. In any case, its a 10th anniversary pressie from Mrs D, so I could hardly say no

You are retired, why do you need to know the time or even what day it is.

I know that it is August. Last time i wore a watch was in 2006

Fair point, well presented. However, if in doubt I think to myself "what would Ross Kemp do in this situarion?"

Have you got a swollen finger?

 

[Drago]

I have no feeling in 2 fingers.

I've been a bad pensioner today!
Went down the Aggie for fish and chips and had 4 pints of 'Old Rosie' cider - 7.3% - 'twas very nice!
Staggered back home and think I need an 'executive power nap' now.

Shoulder aching today so had a quiet lie down for an hour. Now about to take the Labrador for a leisurely bimble.

Bad news is the weekend starts in an hour or so and the place will be clogged upmwith workies.

Nice swim this morning followed by a good few hours with friends and now off to the gym whilst the wife has as swimming lesson, I may require hydrating back to normal levels this evening. Life is great.
