I figure I may as well add to this. When the SFSO rep debuted about 2 years ago, it was billed as the most accurate rep to date... so you are making a solid choice with the SFSO. Now for a few comments about the colors, why I went for the Blue almost 2 years ago, and what I would choose today after so, so many reviews have been made on this rep classic. 2 years ago I went with the Blue because, at the time, the rep SFSO just came out and not as many reviews existed truely comparing all colors with the gens. It is common for the factories to invest in the purchase of a gen, reverse engineer the styling/dimensions, and produce their reps. Most "super-reps" such as the SFSO have gone through this process. Now onto how this impacts color selection... the factories usually will not spring for all colors, so they usually choose a gen with the most difficult color to duplicate from a photo, which is usually Blue. Since the most accurate rep is important to me, plus the fact that I did not have a Blue dial in my box, I chose Blue at the time. Although I do not regret this decision at all, if making the choice today I would be torn between the SFSO White or Blue. I just favor the SFSO White or Blue over the Black, although the SFSO Black is the sportiest of three. Today, two years into the market, there are countless reviews of all colors regarding accuracy to the gens. So all three would be a good choice. I think it comes down to a matter of functional use and taste to narrow down the choice...
White: Dressy and a beautiful, a little less sporty.
Blue: 2nd best Blue dial in my box to my SO Heritage 46 from Silix. Pretty much the standard color for the SFSO.
Black: Sportiest version of this watch.
At this moment, my vote would probably be White. So there's my 2 cents. One thing for sure, if you are to have one Breitling in your box, the SFSO is the solid choice.
