With all the attention on BB58 and GMT, we often forget what a fine watch the Pelagos is.
Thanks for all the positive comments! Yes, the sub-dial hand flashes at 1/8 second intervals. It’s quite amazing in real life - almost doesn’t look real, like it’s some kind of animation on the dial. Completely pointless but I tend to get bored with dressier watches and this should certainly help to avoid that! I’m really impressed with the accuracy too. It’s bang on time after 24 hours.
Yes, it has the dead seconds complication too. I’m a bit of a timing / accuracy nerd so I find it quite handy! I don’t know how to upload a video here but happy to do so if someone can explain how.
Thanks all. And enjoy your Felix - on the basis of this one, I think you’ll love it. The proportions are excellent and it’s finished really nicely. The strap is excellent too - a kind of fine, green/grey suede. I briefly owned a Habring Doppel 3 a few years back and this seems a step up from that, I think.
Dead seconds too! Superb stuff.
A video would be great indeed.
You can upload direct to YouTube and then just share the link? Vimeo's another option.

Found this video on You Tube. What a thing of beauty!

I don't think I'd noticed the chapter ring properly until now, very cool how the indices are inset.
New pick up today, regretted selling my Wimbledon datejust and have been on the look out for its replacement ever since. Saw this dial in the flesh for the first time yesterday and was hooked…has a real depth to it that can’t be conveyed on a webpage (especially the Rolex website!). Mostly silver but the sunburst pattern brings up hues of pink or gold depending on how the light catches it.
Very happy indeed.

Just received this lovely thing from champagne_james and you'll be horrified to see it has gone straight onto a NATO.

Been chasing one of these for a while and our fine showing in the Olympics so far pushed me in to a snap purchase.
Speedmaster Rising Sun hot off the DHL van.
Picked this up yesterday, will see if it grows on me. Third Black Bay I've had but the first green one.
Was it the giant Diver's helmet box? If so it really is big.

Finally managed to persuade Wes (Kippax) to part with this.
Met with boring_sandwich and picked up a lovely 1997 DJ36.
Got a (surprised) call from my local AD :D
