Hey Guys

Looking for a Superocean Heritage 2 White face, Black bezel, Metal Band, 46mm

Been searching the TD's but can't find it in 46mm

Any ideas about who to contact in regards to sourcing one.

PS. Err Breitling is probs not a viable option at this time:)

Cheers Russell

Here is a white dial. I have the chrono version and SOH II Rose Gold Bezel on a mesh bracelet It is not GF quality but it is pretty good. I bought a Staib mesh bracelet and a AN Factory Deployant. GF has no plans for a 46mm watch.

Thats really great thanks.

Are those bracelets the same as the Breitling ones.

From your comment GF make the best versions, are your other watches you mention form GF?

How do you order from AN factory? and i am imagine that is so the clasp has Breitling markings?

Thanks again

I too am after a SOH2 but in 42mm white dial black bezel from GF Factory. Puretime have said they are out of stock but Andrew at Trusty Time says that they are available. Do I go with Andrew and trust that he will get me a GF and not any other factory?

wonkycrown The fast answer is always "available". The TD will go to the factory to purchase your watch after you have paid. If out of stock your choice will be to leave your order and wait till the new watches are completed or select another watch. This watch is popular so if you want to be sure you receive one from the next batch place your order and wait.

Trusty is not a TD here.

All my SOH's are GF except for the 46mm. They are from OMF because GF does not make a 46mm watch because it will not sell well to the Chinese market.

The Staib bracelets are as close to Gen as you can get without buying Gen. These are far better than the Rep bracelets from GF and OMF. The only downside is the Staib only comes in two sizes. 150mm and 170mm. You have to figure out which will fit. My wrist is 6.75" so with an adjustable deployant I can wear the 150mm.

The Deployant made by AN Factory is also referred to as "Gen". Your TD should know. Search on RWI for the SOH threads. You will find all the photos and info you could possibly need.
The AN factory deployant and the OMF version both have the Breitling logo. The ANF version is more accurate. The OMF version has large serif's on the word Breitling. Not as accurate as ANF's

tkingjr ..... Thanks for the advice. I placed an order with Andrew for a Panerai a few months ago and he said it was out of stock after ordering and told me to order a different watch. He didn't give me the option to wait until a restock. I asked for a refund and he refunded no problem. A bit worrying considering it was my first order however but credit to him he was honest. He's been pretty good in answering all my questions and has confirmed today the SOH2 is available. I had a great experience with Puretime too for my purchase of a Pam127 and the QC was very good so hence my slight confusion. I just don't want to end up with anything other than a GF Factory for this watch.

Wonkycrown - I received that very watch from pure time last week. GF 42mm white with black bezel. I ordered it 16 days ago. So they may be out - maybe I got one of the last of this batch.

I find the GF bracelet to be uncomfortable and will be buying the same Staib setup as tkingjr

Here is a link to help determine the size of the Staib to order. Also, the PDF shows the pros and cons of the AN Deployant. It looks perfect but when you install it on the Staib mesh you CANNOT remove it. The Deployant that came with my OMF 46mm SOH II Chrono is decent. Adjusts via holes in the side. If you need more info let me know.

Hi

I came across this watch from intime

This has the Blue Bezel but still looks nice, I am thinking i may settle for it.

Also was thinking consider the band price and clasp I could get this and then the band and clasp seem pretty good quality.

Later i could buy the Black bezel and interchange the straps if i wanted. I though it may be a more cost effective solution.

This is a good Rep isn't it?

I can't tell without knowing the name of the factory. I am always suspicious of a watch that doesn't list the factory name. Here is a link to the OMF version of the Chrono. Ask your TD if they can get you the same AB2020 made by OMF. The model numbers are on the caseback. It is also good practice to confirm the factory is using the correct model number. Sometimes the don't.

My TD said GF has stock today in limited quantity so if you still want a 42mm SOH2 move fast. My TD thought the stock would only last a couple of days.
