Fun comparison of my Pelagos 39 and the new FXD.
Tried this Tag on… I’m tempted!
A story, in 3 pictures.

Don’t get me wrong— the new black FXD is phenomenal.
Just a lot to have two such-similar (expensive) watches… maybe ok to do that with less expensive options… but not with these!!
That’s so awesome. When my dad saw that I was getting into watches, he dug into his closet and gave me this one. He hadn’t worn it in years. Replaced the battery, but it wouldn’t run… so I went on eBay and found a much more beat up one, but one with a working movement. Took out the movement in my dad’s… Replaced it with the other one… Transplant successful!
It is also Ti, which is nice. And I agree… for me, the stock bracelet fits the look I want just a bit better, but I’m pleased to have this to mix things up
Adding a couple more pictures. For sure, this is nitpicking, like all good watch nerds would do. Both bracelets are excellent, both are comfortable, and both look good with the watch for sure!
The stock bracelet has a slightly softer edge to it. I wonder if the curved versus straight links also has something to do with the way it feels? But both are very comfortable, neither is truly scratching me or grabbing arm hairs… jubilee might be a touch lighter weight.
In terms of the brushing, in my dining room, with a warm lightbulb, I can’t see the difference in brushing or brightness of the bracelet versus the case. Outside, I think the uncle seiko looks a little bit lighter and differently brushed. But I really had to look for the right light to see this difference.
Hope this helps!
