Review: Breitling Superocean Heritage II 42mm Ref# AB201012 **

[Thatwatchguy]

Just saw this, no details though. Comes with tang and deployant so looks interesting!

Its OM Factory as its says in the title on the site and is poor. Says its 42mm but the dial and serial number is for the 46mm so maybe Andrew has got the size wrong. Don't know what's happened to the round lume hour markers but they're all wrong in position and size. Stick with GF if you want an accurate SOH.

gen strap too but with rn_proof crystal 2xAR is better because all breitling crystal are poor AR.

Anyone purchased a GF model recently? I’ve been told it’s out of stock

OMF is not starting off very good. The price of $8,888.00 means it was just released but no stock yet. The watch is an AB2010 because the lugs are 22mm. I have a 46mm SOH Chrono with 24mm lugs. So OMF is selling an AB2010 with an AB2020 caseback. Not a good start for an "OM Factory Top Edition Superocean Heritage II B20 Automatic 42. This is a 1:1 Manufacture from OM Factory"
I have not seen an AB2020 from GF yet. My 46mm Chrono came from AN factory because I couldn't wait.
Here is a link to an AB2020 at Intime. I think this is from AN Factory

Hi peeps, funnily I have two of the same reps as the great reviewer thewatchguy (superocean heritage and avenger). I'm trying to figure out how I can pimp these two with new straps I'd really like for both watches the pushbutton clasp (as I've seen it on the genuine) but it seems like that they don't make the melanese rubber for the pushbutton clasp...

Also for the Avenger I was looking for that same clasp but in titan color... Does anyone has any suggestion or idea how to pimp those? I'm also considering buying some gen parts but the titan buckle so soooooo expensive...

Sorry for my bad English, not a native.
Thanks in advance! All help is appreciated!

You have good taste!

You could try and pick up some gen straps and deployments second hand, if you are patient some good deals come up occasionally on the bay, chrono 24 etc.

Thanks, of course you have a very good taste too! Really want those straps and clasp as well. They look so nice.

Hey Thatwatchguy!

I finally managed to pick up a Chronomat 44 blacksteel (M2M). It looks amazing! The deployment clasp also has that slide function! I was wondering if you could answer my question how to shorten the strap. It looks like that it has to be cut with a knife?!?! I want to make sure before I use my knife. Thank you very much!

Hey mate, nice pick up. Yes the strap for deployment needs to be cut, I just use a sharp kitchen knife on a cutting board...be carful though not to go to short otherwise you will be up for a new strap!

Which model did you get?

Thanks for the advice!

Just pulled my sharp kitchen knife et voilà it worked! It's a GF Chronomat blacksteel square dials.

Hmm, I was actually going to upload a picture but I didn't work (not capacity left or whatever)...

Just sold my rep and got a gen. I am blown away by how good the GF rep was. They are almost indistinguishable.
The pearl and the date are actually better centered on the rep.
The only perceptible difference is the sound of the rotor and the smooth as butter crown action.

Did GF start producing again?

 

[Thatwatchguy]

Don't know about producing but old stock seems to be available
