The Pelagos 39 is a nice watch, no doubt. But what I love so much about the classic, non-ceramic, no-date Subs, is that they are so unagitated, so simple, so obvious. There is nothing fancy, everything has a purpose. The design is here for 70 years and the roots are even older. It is an art-deco masterpiece, an industrial design icon. The first watch in my life where I want nothing to be different. The Submariner is the big kahuna of sports watches and will always be.
Have always wanted a 14060, but just wasnt wanting to spend quite that much for one, especially with the prices now. So recently settled on the Pelagos 39. Absolutely amazing watch and definitely has me wondering if I ever will pursue a no date sub now. Great comparison and video. Thanks.
I got it yesterday , initially thinking of the Black Bay 58 and 54, even the 925, but once the Pelagos 39 was on my wrist … game over! I tried the BB58 and 925, nice watches but they didn’t do it for me. The Pelagos 39 may not weigh much but still feels substantial, while being appropriately sized and thin enough. It is a stunning watch that you need to see and try.
Rolex is antic super car while P39 is brand new. I bought P39 because i had 5.000 USD limit for myself and its titanium. I buy watches for wearing not collecting. It was easier to wear since its lighter. Its my everyday watch
