NWA!
After a year with no new watches coming into the collection, decided on this incredible piece. Another example of spec sheet measurements wearing completely different than one would expect. Love the lightweight feel on wrist with the titanium case, and how the dark hue works so well with the matt black finishing of the bezel and dial. The lume is next level, and I love the bright white indices and hands against the black. Looking forward to lots of wrist time with this one in 2024. Happy Friday!

Wonderful ! Solid pick up!
I have its blue brother and absolutely love it. They certainly wear different than their specs would lead you to believe.
BTW, get you an Erika’s strap for it. It enhances the wearability even more.
Love mine, but I had to change the strap 😁

Haha, already planning on it!
Congrats! Huge fan of the black combo. Just picked up the MN version last week! Waiting on $35 worth of CNS straps (so about 50 straps heh) to try out a few styles.
Was very tempted by the black, decided I needed more color in my life as most of my watches are already black.
Congrats and Enjoy ! The Pelagos is built to last a lifetime

I'd like to introduce you to his European older brother the LHD
Nice watch-- congrats! How did you go about with the purchase? AD? Online?
Got kinda lucky. Called the AD to see if they had any, and he said I received the 3rd one they’ve gotten in since release.
Got the blue one and it is by far the watch I wear the most. I was offered the black a couple of months ago (nice to know they are available...) and the black 👍✨✔ IMO is better than the blue.

I debated whether to go blue or black. Both awesome. I tend to go with black dials in general but when this came out I thought it was pretty much perfect. Bang on accurate too so far. Feels like a perfect work horse to add to the collection.
This thing is so badass. I would really love to get one …

When they first came out I had 0 interest in a fixed bar watch. Slowly came around to the idea and oh man it’s better than I ever expected. So light but feels built like a tank.

Yeah i feel it. But the more I see it - the more I think its probably the coolest diver to get right now.

Agreed!

Hi I got MN straps from CNS great. But need modifying to work with fixed lugs.
Paratrooper work as they are.
I love them. Much better than the velcro.

It’s not for everyone and not for every occasion. But it’s very secure and worry free. I lost an SKX years ago probably due to spring bar failure. It’s at the bottom of the ocean collecting barnacles now. With a proper NATO the FXD will stay on wrist for sure. 👍

That's good to know about the MN straps. I've got one of those and a paratrooper, along with a couple velcro incoming. Wanted to get an idea of different styles.
Likely will have to clip a chunk out of the buckle to allow sliding it off the strap maybe... we'll see!
