New SuperOcean?

Borrowed from DWC, who borrowed from TZ...

Wow, a Breitling bezel that is normal. Strange saying this - but, I like it.

That rocks except for the GENERIC BEZEL!!!!

People are saying they got rid of the RIDER TABS, what do they mean by that?

Do they mean the markers on the bezel at 12, 3, 6, and 9?

IMO those are what make the Breitling bezel SO distinctive!

Look at Duffs Sig. Icon. The 00-15-30-45 have raised areas. It's been my main dislike for most of the Breitling line. To each their own, I know you and Duff love them. Just not my speed. The new one with its Generic Bezel looks sweet!

Hey, that's what makes it fun. I appreciate that you guys love your B's and don't have to want one myself. The new B is nice and you don't like it - fine. That means that none of us are drinking the Kool Aid.

EXACTLY...course that is what grown men do

Superocean Standard Model


Superocean Heritage


New Standard Superocean Model

That HERITAGE model is CRAZY cool!

I WISH the Avenger Seawolf was 46mm, amazing how much difference 2mm makes!

Fuck you Doc!! whoops, wrong thread and forum!!! they make it easier to turn the bezel! The new bezel looks like its right of the super ocean heritage series and i've never cared for it! lets not turn breitling into a rolex or omega, leave the friggin bezel alone!



ps will give myself a warning, again for excessive use of the F word! Just thought it might brighten the day of a warm blooded American this morning!

Err......Ok......

They used the bezel straight it looks like but with a Mod font insert instead of the plain one used in the Heritage model.

Dude, you're starting to scare me! Seawolf is huge at 44mm and plays even bigger on the wrist, we're not going to see yellow boxes start popping up at your house are we?

They got it all wet because ther'ye embarrassed by it! trying to hide how ugly it is!!

Man that is one Solid Cool watch.

BTW, I really appreciated your comment in the new Prometheus ad over at DWC:
"very nice, does the lume stay brite for a long time or fade real quick!"

Rider tabs are what make a Breitling stand out! The GENERIC BEZEL can be found on everything from Invictas to Omegas. Not a lot of difference in them. But the rider tabs RULE!!!!

FIRST, NO YELLOW BOXES!

2nd, maybe it's just me, the Below Zero seems MUCH bigger than the Seawolf...

...Maybe because the DIAL is bigger on the Hamilton, not sure...






Man, someone SHOOT me if I ever get rid of that Hamilton!

Love my Breitling but the Hamilton is NOT far behind!

Have you done the mod yet to the Hamilton?

No, STILL looking for the RIGHT bracelet...

...I don't see how I can add a diver's clasp to THIS?



I think I Hijacked my own thread...

looks CHEAPO to me.....Ill stick with the old style!

I like it!!!!!

Ya'll are waaaaaay too critical.

I like the chapter ring on this new Breitling !
Great strap as well !..The bezel is terrific
looking too ! However, I like the regular
Breitling bezel also ! ..See this is what
happens when you like everything !
..Oh well maybe they could have a couple
removeable bezels come with this model !

+1 on the rider tabs for me... The reason why I love the Seawolf and am underwhelmed (at best) with the heritage, is the fact that (to me) it doesn't look like a Breitling.

As for the size, I think the Seawolf is a PERFECT size for a sportwatch; big and substantial without being clownish.

I checked out the stainless and titanium Seawolfs (Seawolves?) over the past week or so, along with a 45mm PO. When all was said and done, I decided on a Ti on bracelet. Another whoor is born

It's SUPPOSED to arrive tomorrow. Sleep is unlikely...

Best of both worlds!

Yep, Breitling w/o rider tabs is like...

Superman w/o a cap...

Batman w/o the mask...

Angeline Jolie w/o those gorgeous lips...

I like the new bezel but I really like the tabs alot. It is what makes a Breitling so distinct. It IS Breitling. I hope they never get rid of them because it's kinda their trademark.

Still can't see the attraction of the bumps and exposed screw heads but to each their own. The new one looks terrific to my eye and I am looking forward to more information about it.

Sorry, I like the old SuperOcean standard and the Heritage but the new SO at least in that pic looks like any other watch on the market and even reminds me of a *gasp* Invicta or what the Invicta copy will look like. Im sure it is much nicer in real life. Breitlings always are.

OK if they keep all 3 models but the Heritage and rider tabs have to stay.

Guess I am just getting tired of multicolored or large clown watches.

For me, I like all 3 models. There is enough of a difference between them that I would love to own each one.

I'd take any of them as well!

I just think the new standard SO is just that, a little to standard. It is too much like what alot of others are saying so I don't have to. I agree that the original bezel is unique and it is what sets Breitling apart. I like the original because you can see the quality before you feel it. I know the new one looks alot like others but you get that bad boy in you hand and you will know the dif. I still don't like it AS much.
