My eyes are burning. But this watch does show us how bad a release can get.

Well, as long as these crappy reps exist, we appreciate our reps more.

Darn it! I thought I was done for a long while. Just got a Premier and Avenger Bandit which pretty much completes my whole Breitling collection..... except for in a year or so when the new Chronomat comes out. Now I will have to get this Superocean (which I tried on in the store and it looks pretty darn good) once GF or someone else makes it. ZF did, in my opinion, a GF beating great job with the Navitimer 8 and was it V7 factory with the much under appreciated Transocean? Why do they always make the 44mm version though? Us small wristed want the 42mm. My Superocean II looks huge on my wrist.

I like it better than the last version. I have an old gen SO, which I love. Never really got into the new era

Been waiting for this one to be launched but the numbers on the bezel are way off, check out the 30 on the gen against the rep, miles out the numbers on the dial are awful and the marker next to the date window is also awful , so disappointed that they could get it so wrong!!!!​

ZF makes a SOII in 42mm. https://trustytime.shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=16_144&products_id=18493

Thanks, I always thought that was called the Superocean Abyss. I do have the noob 42mm version of that one and I'm so glad they actually made it in 42

I found it is safer to go by the model number, The first thing I do on any Breitling I an interested in is to check the number on BreitlingSource.com. Many times the factory will use the caseback from another model with the wrong number. Now Breitling renamed the watch SuperOcean 42

Did they not even try on the bezel 3????

Yep several sellers have it listed at different prices. We shall see what if anything shows

I want a 42mm version and from a different maker. TF needs to focus on the details a lot more.

I am going to wait to see what GF is going to release, I am surprised GF appears idle while TF released so many Breitling's.

 

[korky7]

So Trusty has added all of these new tf breitlings and have videos foe all of them now. Are these even considered a high quality rep. They honestly look like they should be value rep. Its funny cause I tried ordering a gf black special and the pearl looked exactly like the tf just listed. I bet they are sharing parts????‍

 

[MAXlMUS]

Definately not for me...Numbers too big.

 

[tkingjr]

GF and TF are probably buying from the same pearl maker. I will ask about this. I think the factories source almost all the parts to the smaller factories. If GF or Noob were making all the parts themselves they could not hide a factory of that size.

Does anyway know if this has been updated to have a better bezel, really like the gen but the rep is dreadful

Lots of us would pick one up if it was any good. So far nothing...
