Wasn’t going to wear a good watch for todays task at hand
Should’ve worn the Orange Monster today to keep the party going
I love the left hand version. I wanted it to be slightly different, so I went with the titanium, left hand, and roulette date wheel. Started off looking at the Black bay and then over time I started like the Pelagos a bit more. Love it. Love the adjustable expansion strap as well
As much as I like colorful watches, on other people, I gravitate to basic black/white for visibility every time. And big glow thingies, such as your above watch, the kid's crayons of markings.
Also prefer day/date calendars, not because I need to know what day of the week, where when retired, every day is Christmas or Monday, I forget which, but because the day opens the window on the date otherwise down in the black hole of Calcutta and nearly unreadable minus a cyclops magnifier.
As soon as caught a first glimpse of that photo and immediately read the face, it was lust at first sight. COSC cert. and titanium weight reduction made it a raging flame. Did I mention I LIKE that watch? Noticed the helmet mug (bottle? cask?), and showing age by saying the only folk who had cool stuff as that when I was young was Jacques Cousteau, the rest of us more like Lloyd Bridges where I still had, until a few years and moves ago, my old issue Sea Hunt trunks from when stationed in Virginia, you know, the almost legless high waist jobs with integral belt, the pleated slacks of swimwear.

I cannot use slide rule markings at all, but I sure do like them.
Past maybe protected crown(?) and square vs round hour marks, what sets the Pelagos apart from the Black Bay?
I can’t recall all of the differences off the top off my head at the moment. During research I could have recited most of them. Depth was significantly greater in the Pelagos. I wanted a proper dive watch that was going to be bullet proof (not that I’m going to wear it diving but I could). I think it’s mostly visual past that but I could be wrong
With the Pelagos depth rating I'd expect a helium valve, I think? Never dove deep enough for helium, decompression chambers, etc,...as a matter of fact, never got all that comfy diving and went into far safer aviation maint., where of course I ended up early in career having to suit up in a coverall with mask and external air hose due to toxic fumes.
