The previous version with the seamaster like bracelet and clasp sounds like it would do the trick for you, and they’re significantly cheaper on the second hand market, I’d be looking at that if you’re still interested in a speedy :)
Oh and I forgot to add, the Tudor has a wetsuit extension which the sub lacks. Another thing is precision, all of my tudors are within -1s/day, this sub is +1.5s/day which I know is within tolerance but kind of annoying. Here’s both of them frontside to get a size comparison.
And here they are in my 16cm wrist
I have no way to measure them, but to my eye they are the same length and width. I don’t think neither is better than the other, the sub has a longer total length of adjustment but the steps are much larger than the pelagos, for daily I think the pelagos is a better fit for me because I can really dial in the adjustment throughout the day.
I own both, had the sub for half a year and the pelagos 39 for a bit more than a week. Unfortunately it’s too soon to talk about scratches on the 39, but I also own the blue 42mm pelagos and it has held up considerably well, I have taken the sub and the og pelagos diving so they haven’t been babied exactly, but neither abused.
Physically the 41mm sub is considerably larger and heavier, I have a 6,5” wrist so they’re both very comfortable. Id say the sub’s dial is better balanced, it just looks nicer to me, though I do love this pelagos dial, the sunburst is interesting and not in your face and the markers are highly legible. The subs lume is better, it’s brighter and easily lasts all night, the pelagos is a bit dimmer on the long run, but makes it very legibly throughout the whole night, thankfully I haven’t noticed dimmer hands vs dial and bezel as many others have, but I guess that could be based on individual watches.
If there’s anything you’d like me to go further in depth or something you’d like to know or compare please let me know :)
