More photos online and it appears, at least to me, to be about 40mm and steel case. My AD has told me I get the first one, so I hope he keeps his word.

Dibs please! I expressed interest with my AD long ago, but after speaking with them this morning I'm not hopeful that I'm on the top of their list..

So is this going to be an LE or regular production?
My AD says they don't know, but I don't think Tudor really does LEs? I just hope it's not boutique only.

edit: here's a copy/paste from WUS, supposedly the guy heard this from his AD, sounds like it could be limited for 2021 at least? This is regarding the UK, but if it's true I assume US production would also be limited.

Pelagos FXD
Only 150 will be available in the UK with the MN.21 engraving
Pre-orders from tomorrow for the (slightly) more readily available MN.22 for next year

I'm a little peeved with my AD right now - I've been talking to them about this watch since last spring, and now that it's becoming reality I'm getting no sort of commitment from them, just the usual "we don't know how many we'll get" crap, ie we'll see if there's one left after our big spenders are done.
Hey they gotta make some grey $ales, I hope you get this sorted or find another more accommodating dealer...

Yeah, I know, and I expected to have to jump through hoops to get my Submariner, but somehow thought it would be different with the Tudor. I thought our "relationship" had moved beyond that. Image

Annoying if it’s an LE. I have no hope of getting one at/near msrp eventually then.

I love everything about this, including the weird fixed lugs.

One more pic, which I think shows the MN is slightly smaller than the regular Pelagos, which is good for me. Oddly enough, I've never had a Pelagos, mainly due to the size.

I’m in the same boat. I like the OG 2-liner Pelagos and the BB58 a lot more.

But that means more for everyone else!

I’m not a buyer. The fixed lugs and countdown bezel make it a never ever for me.

Anyone know why this is called a Pelagos when it’s a totally different watch?
I want to love it but being limited edition and with current prices I’m talking myself out of it.
The best guess is that they will continue to expand the Pelagos into an entire lineup just like with Black Bay.

I’m a little disappointed that it’s not smaller, but I still like it. Wear it on a single pass zulu strap and it’ll be great.

I was hopping it would be more like the 58 or 40mm in size… I like it, though— good price, not crazy about fixed lugs…

Same. It's nice that it's thinner than the standard Pelagos, and being ti it'll be plenty light. I'll still give it a try if I can grab one without jumping through hoops.

Weird marketing campaign with “leaks” for months that were apparently spot on. I don’t know who is running Tudor’s marketing team but they’re even more “Born to Dare” than their watch designers. Was excited to see this......I’m kinda meh. It’s ok, just doesn’t have the same impact as the original Pelagos. I think it’s the rehaut. Looks like it came off a SKX or a Turtle. I’d rather it be the same as the OG or printed above the markers on the dial.

I wonder if it’s still 22mm lug width for natos, or if they did the goofy Rolex thing of 21?

OK, that’s good.

Countycomm just released some 3-ring zulu straps with titanium hardware, so that would be a good match.
