But that and their process of swapping movements at service makes me a tiny bit suspicious as to why Tudor is relatively inexpensive. Which leads to another of your points…
“relatively inexpensive”. Ok, well they are certainly not cheap, but I guess they seem good value due to A. The movements, B. The brand and relative rarity / desirability. The Pelagos is more or less the same price as a Tag with a non in house movement (even if the Tudor movements are not *that* in house they are good specs with usually brilliant accuracy).
I love the Pelagos. Good movement, great finishing, titanium. Amazing lume, bezel. The bracelets! FXD being different. But…but. The refinishing problem always gives me pause. If it’s your only watch, or one of a couple, it’s a really weird problem that Tudor doesn’t seem to want to address. I’ve mentioned this before so I’ll stop as I’m obviously a stuck record :)
p.s. the bracelet never bothered me as much as with it’s parallel brushing your can sort that with a grey scotchbrite, but the case is a different proposition.
