So sweet — my next high end watch may well be a Tudor with the only question being — Ranger or Pelagos (or BB GMT - or ……..)

Since I am still working on last year’s New Year’s resolution (actually I don’t really believe in resolutions per se but have been working on the Fitness program for about a year) —-

Still rolling with Garmin for a daily driver most days. I keep two in rotation for when ones down charging (actually that sounds like far too sensible a plan - the reality is I lost the watch panicked in order another one and then found the old one a week later, but giving that explanation for why I have two almost makes sense

I am down about 75 with another 50 to go, and the Garmin watches have been valuable tools for this program

Pelagos FXD would be my choice or the Black Bay Ceramic. Problem is too many watches I desire. Next one may end up being a Planet Ocean or Speedmaster Professional, or a Longines Avigator Chrono, or Longines Zulu.... Man I really need to hit the lotto numbers!

Gotcha...I'll have to check them out. Looks nearly identical to a Delugs Epsom strap.

Taupe Epsom Slim Strap

Delugs Slim leather watch straps handcrafted from Epsom leather from Tanneries Du Puy tannery in France, by experienced leather artisan. Beautiful pebbled texture, with great scratch and water resistance. Best leather straps at the lowest price for your watches.

I ain't never seen an Epsom. What kinda critters are they? Anything like a Nauga?

Pelagos is the really easy choice, but it just depends on whether you like their more modern styled models like the Pelagos or their vintage inspired models like the Black Bay line.

I like heritage styled watches and re-issues, so the Ranger and BB54 are probably the two watches in their catalog that I'd wear the most.

Tudor did a great job on the Pelagos dial. I just wish that they'd have designed the bezel so that it looked a little more faithful to the MN Slowflake Subs.

Embossed calf skin. Much more efficient watch strap making material that Nauga. I hear it takes at least three of four adult Naugas, just to make one strap. More if you have JD8 sized wrists.

Yes. The Pelagos is trick -- i like the Ti version as a heavy watch irritates me after a fashion. I'm almost afraid it would make me kick my doxa to the curb completely though - LOL

But that Ranger -- man, -- always wanted a sleek Explorer, and now with the Ranger Tudor is seemingly making the Explorer even better than Rolex can

of course if a deal came up on a Doxa Pro with an aqua face, -- or a semi current Seamaster , or a Tank -- like @TANSTAAFL stated -- would be nice to hit the lotto (if only i played the lotto - LOL )

I have this problem with firearms as well -- putting back cash for a nice levergun or something - then a pistol i like hits a gun counter somewhere -- then its, -- "Well , that 1886 TD will have to wait a couple more months "
