Chalk and Cheese.
Thanks for showing the Pelagos and Sub side by side. I was a HUGE Pelagos fan, and on the point of buying one, but you've just cured me of that ! IMHO it looks big, bland and boring in comparison.
Chalk vs Cheese, to me it's Craftsmanship vs CNC.
Please don't flame me, I am old so there is some excuse :-(

Not sure where you get the CNC from! IMHO the Rolex* looks too glossy and shiny in comparison, everything about it says 'look at me' even the new ceramic bezel gleams. It also weighs a ton on the wrist because it's a big chunk of steel. I'm not anti-Rolex at all, I love my Explorer but it's a lot more discreet.
The Sub is the total opposite to the Pelagos, subtle, understated, considered, light to wear but still has presence. But I say this from having worn both. Before you make up your mind I'd suggest comparing them side by side and if you can spending a day (or at least a few hours) wearing each. You really can't make an informed decision from a pic on the interwebz ;)
*Am talking about the latest 'ceramic bezel' edition of the Submariner, not Ordinata's lovely Lolex ;)

That's not a Sub btw it's a cheap copy. 😀
While I think Rolex are benchmark timepieces I do think the Mercedes hands and round markers are a bit tiring. That is not to say I wouldn't rock a Sea Dweller etc
Just that I think that the Pelagos snowflake dial and white on black with titanium is a bit more Avant Garde ?
Like Audi vs BMW ?
