Breitling Superocean

[andreww]

I may have found my next watch. Looks perfect except that the steel border around the date window is slightly heavy. I hope our more "trusted" dealers will have this soon!

 

[By-Tor]

Ditto. This...with bracelet though... is my next watch (well... this or Evolution). Life is good!!!

 

[andreww]

I like the fact that this is an ETA By-Tor. The Evolution is a 7750, and I know I won't buy both, so this really appeals to me. I'm thinking blue on genuine blue leather. Sweeeeet!

 

[By-Tor]

I'll get the blue as well. God knows I've owned enough black dial sports watches.

Ooh...I love the Superocean. I may have to jump on the bandwagon as well.

The DOTS, is that the correct term, should be numbers?

I guess there's a dial version with numbers too. But as usual... Google image search is your friend.

This is such a great watch, I'm in for one as well.
PT will have them ready by late January, so he says...

I think the one PT has ready is the Chronomat Evolution.

The Superocean-I haven't seen it advertised as of today on any of our "trusted" dealers' sites.

wbk had them weeks ago they come and gone

 

[supermanx]

PT said yesterday or today, that the preorder of the SO will start as soon as the EVO's are sent out.

How big is this watch?

45MM

42mm

??

What is the caseback like?

 

[supermanx]

Should come 44mm in the XL version, It came in a 42 for a couple years but I dont think you can still get it that size.

 

[caravaggio]

I find that

Most Breitling reps dont even come close to the finish the gens have...

Sorta like many reps look goon in photos but when in your hands, it's a different story.

Excited while knowing Breitlings are hard to replicate...

But again I've never seen an Evo in the flesh yet.

Guys, are they as good in person as the Ultimate PO or the Seamaster Chrono??

I haven't heald one either, but every generation looked better (there is a detailed post of the presale on trc)... It looks very very good. Every bit as good as the smp or po. I'm personally waiting for the evo with diamond bezel, but i have plenty of new watches this month to hold me over for a few more week (chinese new years coming up is going to delay any new releases).

 

[caravaggio]

supermanx, when is Chinese New Year?

In February?

Also, could paste a link to the PRESALE post of the SO oyu mentioned?

Thanks

I tried on the blue dial Steelfish at an AD last week and it is a beauty! The blue dial is simply gorgeous!!
