Hello: I just joined WC today, only a few minutes ago in fact. I already have 3 more watches I want to buy. But for this post I think my next purchase is either Tudor Black Bay 58 41mm or Pelagos 39. My comparison comes out very, very close. I would appreciate any thoughts.

Your timing is uncanny. Teddy Baldassarre JUST posted a video about this yesterday on YT. Check it out.
And welcome to WC!
Welcome! Between the two, I lean toward the Pelagos, but I've never owned nor worn either. I would try on both at an AD and see which one looks and feels better to you.
Welcome to WC! Pelagos 39 = future classic, but the 19mm lugs are annoying. BB 58 is a lovely looking watch as well however it has a ‘vintage’ aesthetic now but not sure how that will look in 20 years ? They are both good solid watches you can’t go wrong with either!

I agree with you, I don't feel I can go wrong either way. 19mm lugs are difficult sometimes because I need a long strap. Thanks for your input.
