Yesterday a member sold one, he said he received 44 while thinking he'd receive a smaller one.
There are chances the 42mm is a mistake. I asked the dealer (finally a TD, sorry for my above mistake), let's see.

Edit (link to the sale)

It's confirmed to be 44mm

One thing I noticed on the turquoise dial is, on the gen the hands are black. Where as they are silver on the clone.

For me this is best looking dive watch released in a long time. Love it

Forget the above comment, they are not black... I would have bet my house on them being black when I looked a few days back 😵‍💫

I firstly noticed photos and thought that this is some joke.
(Not possible that this is oem design)

Why Breitling.

Why?
It´s a retro design, same as they released in the 60´s, vintage.

Where your daughter is
This is likely going to be my next watch. TF I'm recalling, was not a great factory, from thinking about past superoceans but I might have them mixed up. Same with ORM I thought. Or maybe ORF. I get those two mixed up. Can't tell if the AR is any good from these pics but I only looked on Trusty's site. I'm hoping to see some user pics posted from anyone who takes the plunge. I've taken it on the V7 Transocean and was very impressed so hopefully one of these turns out to be a good release. Edit, the AR looks pretty good on the one that sold posted above in one picture at least.

I've got a TF Navitimer 41mm (no chrono). It's nice enough. I think the GF stuff is always a grade above but I can't rock a 44mm so hopefully these 42mm's will be nice. I saw the same pic on some of the chinese dealer blogs but no additional information at this time.

Anyone seen any close ups to see quality? Pictures of strap with deployment clasp? I’m keen on the Kelly Slater edition if any good.

I can’t see any of theses on TDs?

Not seen them yet, but as the models seem to be produced, it shouldn't last long.

More pics. Hard to tell if any of these are actually smaller than the 44mm as the cases all look very similar in size to me.

Thx
So the novelty would be the rubber strap?
Hope you're wrong

Well I have tried several TD’s and am sad to say the 42mm is a myth only 44mm has been made.

I asked about the orange dial olive green rubber strap Kelly Slater edition should be 42mm and was told available but only in 44mm.

Sad as I would have liked this one:cry:

Also I was quoted $528 and $348 from different sellers, I stopped asking any questions on movement etc after they confirmed it was 44mm not 42mm so interesting 🧐
