Just placed my 1st order with Lucy for a Brietling Superocean 44 Yellow dial. What a great experience so far! She is very good to respond and provide all the details of different options. I"m looking forward to seeing the watch and will keep this thread updated with progress.

I'm not aware of a yellow dial OF version. The only one I've seen available is the TF. Do you have a link?

ah my bad. i assumed you ordered the newest generation superocean, i must've read over the yellow part in your initial post, sorry about that.


apparently this model for example comes from OF but it costs almost twice as much as the TF version.

No worries, the new version does look amazing! It does have a couple things going for it, OF does make great watches and it is Swiss SW-200 powered and I'm guessing that the price kicker here. BUT, I would guess that's made in China also just like the 2824-2 that will power the one I bought and the SW-200 is just a 2824 clone...great movement I have a few watches (Gens) with them but functionally the same. Looking at Steve's inventory, he doesn't show any in stock so this would be an order from factory from him or Lucy.

5/3: Watch finally arrived!! Watch looks and greats great!! This bracelet is a pain to size, but I plan on wearing it with yellow rubber. Better question is would I order from Lucy again, probably. She is cautious and takes her time but delivers and the watch looks and runs great. Just need patience and understand she takes a bit to communicate. I have now bought from 4 different TDs and she was by far the slowest but having a service to start the life of the watch, probably worth the extra time.
