Arthur1 Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 Hi all, Hopefully someone out there can help. Have decided on my next timepiece - Bre SO Heritage 38 not the oversized 46 as I don't think my wrists are up to it. Anyway, usually I like my reps to be cheap and cheerful, so I selected Watcheden as my prefered choice having dealt okay with them in the past. Trouble is I cannot get them to confirm whether the watch is 38mm as the original or a zoomed up 46mm version. Anyone biten on this yet or have a correctly sized model from any other seller. http://www.watcheden.com/breitling-super-ocean-automatic-with-black-dial-and-bezel-i-17912-p-1.html Finally does anyone know a source for a rep Ocean Racer strap 20/18 with deployment clasp. Does the clasp from the 24mm strap fit all straps? It looks quite tapered, kind of like the omega mesh clasp fitting all sizes 24-20mm. http://www.puretimewatch.com/products_pictures/BRE-CR-RS-V1-BLK-01.JPG Any help appreciated.

LeSentier Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 Hi, 1.) you cannot tell the size from the pics-think you'll have to ask watcheden 2.) OR strap 24mm clasp won't fit other than 24/20. Too large for the 20/18 J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krpster Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 Based on the pic it is a 38 since it has the sub dial at 6. However, it still possible that they are using the 46 case. Best is to get confirmation from the dealer. As for the OR strap. As already said the clasp is 20mm so it will not scale down to what you want. That is not to say that it won't fit. Quite the contrary. It will just be too big. Besides, they don't make the OR rubber in the smaller size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opti Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 The link you have it to the 46mm version, look at the top rightish area just above add to cart button, says "man size 46mm" couldn't find the smaller one on the site...

hackR Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 regarding the OR strap...there's is a 22mm version that is not branded...i picked one up from a member -- i haven't a clue wear he got it...the rubber quality is "soft" and definitely a dust collector -- but it looks great...i also think someone posted a thread with this generic strap somewhere here - not sure where, though... have you emailed watcheden...they are usually good at getting back to you...also search around and you may find another site that carries the same watch and might list different sizes...i search - when i can't wait for an answer...but it does say 46mm near the top...but hey - ya nevvvvvvver know...

Arthur1 Posted January 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 Didn't have much success in my first mail to them, but will try again. If no-one has seen one from other sellers it is probably marked correctly as 46mm on the page. Will let you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hackR Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 try to also compare pics of this model and the known larger SOH...from the size of the wings logo and the surrounding spacing, i would say it's larger than 38mm...so probably close enough to say 46mm and not 38mm...
