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

[The Rod]

Do you think you could ask Lucy an extra question? Have GF forgotten about the brown dial or is it taking longer to make?

Yes, would be nice to know

 

[andyr]

Yes I sold it long ago

Ouch indeed!

Have done and she said she will ask tomorrow

 

[stufuse]

I just received my black one. Wow! I honestly have to say it's the best gf release yet. I'm use to 44mm wayches so I'm going to let it go and wait for the 46mm.

I’d Be interested.

Would anyone mind measuring the lug to lug please?

Afraid so mate and in case you haven't seen the other SOH 2 post. Not good news from Lucy as follows: 'GF's boss replied me just now, they told me they won't make 46mm of it now.' Th
ought it might be the case as the gen they repped from ws the 42mm. Let's hope they get a gen of the 46 but given the size and the popularity of 42mm in China, I'm not holding my breath.

Did you let your 46 V2 go, or have you still got it?

???


Buyer : "Are you going to make another model simmilar to one you allready produced and have stock to sell?
I would prefer one you don't have stocked"

Sales departmet guy to buyer : "No need. The demand for this one is huge"

Sales departmet boss to rest of employees : " Didn't I told you, you f*** morons that V2 was 46!?!?!?!?!??!? Who we are going to sell this one???!?
Now everyone is expecting 46!!!!!!"

Sales department guy : "No problem Boss. We'll just tell them that we will not be making 46."

Sales department boss : (stays frozen few seconds, and then leaves conference room - doors slamming but cursing can still be heard from the outside)

Sales department guy : " I really don't get it why he's the boss and cant solve such simple stuff"

It's not that simple IMO

46 is a huge size and most people even in EU can't pull of those diameters. Many people had been asking for the smaller version when the only version available was the 46 for the first SOH rep

Now it's the opposite but at least we can say that factories have heard the previous complaints. I am sure they will sell way more with that size that anybody can wear

Blue SOH II is here! For those on the fences, still undecided between black and blue, buy blue with confidence! Same sunburst and same colour as gen. I handled the gen blue in three separate occasions in the last few weeks and it looks exactly the same, dial is really alive, changing appearance continuosly depending on the light.

I'll post some pics tonight.

The Rod ehat do you think of the white? Just saw the new one released yesterday

 

[tkingjr]

JasonGSD I had a white on order but a canceled it because I could not find a white dial on Breitling's website. Did you see a Rep or Gen ?

Agree the white/silver just looks flat and has no character IMO

 

[tkingjr]

I know Black is available because I approved my QC Pics yesterday. GF tends to postpone other colors till the boss sees how well the watch sells. They do the same with steel bracelets. The watch is release with a rubber strap, then months later the steel bracelet comes out.

The Jomashop link is for the SOH not SOHII so not sure they can be compared.

TD are describing it as white whereas gen is called silver, not sure if it lost in translation or how different they are in hand.

You can find all dial colours here...

Will be very interested how good the mesh bracelet is if they have a go at it as I couldn't wait and went gen.

Also would be good to add some colour to my collection so brown dial would be great!

Trusty and intime have them.

Tbh I saw the gen white and it looked more off-white, almost beige...seemed a bit dull compared to the blue and black

 

[Thatwatchguy]

New strap in for more options...

 

[tkingjr]

My watch is inbound with a Gen Aero strap waiting. I also bought the Rep deployment clasp.
