I only had them on for a couple of mins each, google says BB58 is 11.9mm thick versus Pelagos at 14.3mm. The Pelagos certainly felt the more substantial of the two but not outrageously so. Personally I think I could get used to the size/weight pretty quickly. Bit apples and oranges but when I first got my metal G-shock (GMW-B5000) I thought that was a hefty ol' thing and doubted I'd get used to it. Felt totally normal after a couple of days.
The Pelagos just sat really nicely on my wrist. Will try it on again later this week to confirm. I need to try the BB58 on with a steel bracelet to be able to make a proper assessment between the two.
I'm a lefty but have always worn my watch on the left wrist, the LHD Pelagos appeals because it's a bit different but having worn it for a few mins it is really nice to not have the crown digging into the back of your hand.

@mattyc
how do they compare height/depth wise?
I was after the Pelagos a while back and also felt was too big but wanted it because I wear my watch on my right wrist... ended up buying an old 60s Tudor Oyster Date in 34mm... then the following week the BB58 came out so went and tried it on but never held it up next to any of the other BBs...
