well, to be honest im an omega man through and through-i have a franken planet ocean 45, a 42 PO, smp chrono, 2254.50 and a gen 2541.80 and 2531.80...but i've had an itch lately for something different. not too different though-it had to be a dive watch! so it was a toss up between a rolex dssd or a breitling superocean. being the type of person who for some reasons likes brightly coloured watches the new breitling superocean in yellow won straight on the laptop i went and a week later here she is-my first breitling purchase and to be honest i couldnt be happier, its a cool watch despite what the haters say! one thing bugged me though and that was the comfiness of the rubber strap, its bloody good looking strap mind, but i just couldnt get it to wear right. hmmm, after a rummage in my straps box i decided to give this mesh a try and im glad i did. i think it gives the watch a hardcore look while still keeping the overall image-and it wears perfect which i great! anyway hope you all like, i for one am a happy bunny. -
hi there, hows everybody doing?! i've been reading a few threads on this forum over the past few months and found them super informative and friendly-so i've signed up and thought id say hey. im james and i've collected watches for many years-both rep and gen.i'll upload some pics of all my collection over the next few days and hopfully will get some nice comments and get to know some people. i have a big love of all things omega, so below is one of my faves-it started life as a standard upo 45.5mm...a good few hundred quid later its now my super franken and i love it! it has: gen dial gen hands gen bezel the gen dial and hands made a MASSIVE difference, the lume is like nothing else i've seen! the bezel too just screams qaulity-the insert is one piece with the ring and not wanting to impose possible damage i went with the complete assembly glued in place-looks over function i guess! all the work i did myself, fiddly but a proud feeling once complete-if your gonna try yourself watch out for finger prints on the dial and hands! i had to do the work twice-second time with gloves! im now awaiting a gen rubber strap, black with orange stitching and deployment clasp, gen tube and crown and caseback-but will have to wait til after christmas for those... the bracelet it came on was ok-ish but just was'nt upto standard, so i mounted it on a 22mm mesh with "seat belt" omega style buckle-not to everybodies taste but i think it looks pretty damn fine! wears incredibly comfortable too. anyway onto the pics! hope you like...
