I owned a Pelagos before (black, ETA not in house) and much prefer this. Wish it had a date but you can’t have everything.

Really a matter of personal taste and what fits your wrist since they're so different in size. Couldn't go wrong with either though!

Having worn both in different colors before, I can say that the Pelagos can be a bit chunky for dress shirts

like

The auto adjust is really nice, but the clasp is thick so it makes typing/desk work a bit less comfortable

I’d go BB58 blue. The Blue Pelagos is like, reaaaalllllyy blue. The Pelagos is the ultimate tool dive watch, which is cool, but the BB58 makes a much better “daily desk diver”. Hell, last time I scuba dove I took off my watch and left it topside. Dive computer goes on and watch comes off (it was a Victorinox Dive Master 500, FYI). I didn’t have the heart to switch it to my right wrist, haha.

I’m leaning towards the BB58B as well but being put off by secondary market prices 20-30% above retail. Will probably wait a few months and purchase from AD when travelling abroad

Yeah, just be patient. Don’t buy secondary.

Went in to check compare sizes for an Aqua Terra (green dial) but now torn between that and Moonwatch Sapphire (manual wind but the case in the back is just 😍)

Surprisingly the Moonwatch felt smaller (even though it’s 42mm vs 41mm Aqua terra) but I’m not sure about the manual wind tbh - worried I’d break it

This is going to be my main watch for the next 20+ years so I want to make sure I pick correctly!

What would you pick and why?

Super beautiful watch, just thinking it’s a bit flashy for me.

Sorry if this has been asked before but anyone have recommendations for brands that typically have a thiner profile? I’m shopping around for a piece in the $1k-$2k range (willing to buy pre owned).

How does approval process usually work with rolex ADs? I have a purchase history with a current AD and been on a waitlist for a while. Got a msg saying they have one in system and waiting to get approval to sell me one, but no promises. Does this mean I am likely to get one soon?

A lot of knowledge on here so asking for some help. It’s my partner’s birthday and I’ve no idea what to buy him. He’s a watch fanatic - Pateks (sports and dress), Audemars (sports and dress), Rolex (sports), Omega (sports).

I’m obviously not buying him a watch for his birthday (in his dreams!) but any idea for some good accessories? He’s already got a PP watch winder, and has bought multiple nice straps for the dress watches. I’m completely lost.

Why would a luxury watch brand make/sell connected or smart watches? What is the business reason for it? To me it just kills the brand value. For instance I was a big fan of Montblanc but after I see their smart watch line up I instantly devalued the brand in general. Same for Tag (tag is questionable anyways), or Breitling. What is your opinion on this topic?
