My Breitling Dress Watch...

[DuDro]

Just wanted to share with everyone my latest addition...

The Breitling SuperOcean SteelFish (a.k.a. SOSF) on a genuine Breitling calf skin strap:

Powered by an Asian 21J automatic movement...This is my first Asian 21J movement and I'm impressed with the feel of it when adjusting the time. The date setting is a bit choppy and the "sweep" seconds is not that smooth, but not bad considering how inexpensive these models are right now.

I believe that the case is the same as my Swiss-powered version which makes this thing even more of a bargain!

I plan on installing a Swiss movement and a sapphire crystal with AR. I also would like to install a better DW. Where is Lello on this project?

Does anyone know how to remove the bezel? I don't think the crystal will clear the rider tabs on the bezel, otherwise I would just push it out from the back.

Your feedback would be greatly appreciated...Thanks for looking!

Very nice look. It took a while for me to like the look of brown straps with while dials, but that's a looker.

Can't help you with the mods, though.

Very nice watch. I have the bracelet model but really like the look of the calf strap...I removed a few screws from the bezel but I still can't figure out if they are just decorative or serve a purpose to hold the bezel on.

Another little thing is the crown. I have noticed it is getting a bit wobbly from use, but other than that it's been great...

Great looking watch

I wear mine as my every day watch. I asked Vac about swapping the movements and he said it couldn't be done. Did you pick the strap up at an AD?
