BrianSW510 Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 Any news if the new 2010 superocean is going to be replicated? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig S Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 Great looking watch, and really simple design. Should be easy enough to rep. Here's hoping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FROGMAN Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 This one is begging to be repped for sure.....rest assured they will build it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianSW510 Posted May 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 The only question is when will they rep it then? I have gotten bored of my steelfish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plaifender Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 This one is begging to be repped for sure.....rest assured they will build it! Rest assured?? There's plenty of watches with simple designs that have yet to be repped... and repped WELL... I wouldn't assume anything about this model.... It'd be great.. but i still wouldn't assume anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooky Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 I just checked it on the Breitling Website and it seems that the model is a lot smaller than most of the high end reps we are used to. It sports 42mm. The height I did not see, am quite curious about its height. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 I'd be surprised if it did not get repped in fairly short order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianSW510 Posted May 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 It makes sense that it is smaller at 42mm. People who like big watches will just go for the super avengers series, SOH, etc. So this would open up a new market for breilting. (well they had previous 42mm but they weren't as nice really). ... Either way, definetly getting the rep, possibly the gen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Movementum Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 I would venture this will be repped soon. The design elements are not far off the current reps. They won't have to retool much to produce this watch. Why are HBB's so quickly repped? Because most of the design elements are the same. Changing the strap or adding some printing and adding colour to the dial does not mean changing the way the watch is constructed etc. So we have here a bit of a change in size and some colouring. If I were a rep maker I would think, "Hmm. I cam do this for $x pretty easy. But building a brand new Breitling Unobtanium will take a lot of $X and I won't get it right the first time" Run a supply demand curve after that and baby, I will punch out yellow, green, and purple till tje Teletubbies come knocking.

nevikwen Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 I am totally getting this watch when itgets repped. It took them about 5 month making a proper B01 rep, i assume its gonna take as long? Is the Gen even avaliable on market yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinguru Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 love it, count me in :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rytox Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 My secretary got that one as a present from her husband yesterday. I must say, though I don't like breits very much, that I absolutely LOVE that piece! If repped, I'd definately buy the black/red dialed one!

OSRep Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 Havnt yet come across this on in the AD's yet! Would be interesting to see it in reality, im still on the fence, but if I had a choice then definitely black or white on bracelet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxman Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 My guess Is that this will be replicated by the "years end" for all the reasons stated above. It not really something I would wear @42mm. I know this size works for most but Im just Into bigger watches now. That being said, beautiful watch and I hope they get It right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krpster Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 At first I wasn't so hot on the new design but it has really grown on me. I'd probably scoop one up if it came to market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 I predict this will be one of the next Supers out of our usual friends. Wondering if they will get it right/close enough on a v1 though.... Even though this is 42mm it seems to be "thin enough" to wear on a smaller wrist. That has me excited since one of the reasons I sold my SteelFish and BS was the thickness. The only design elements I struggle with (mildly) are what I consider the NASCAR style fonts. But, makes sense from an "Air-Racing" perspective.

makoberry Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 I like the design, but it does not look like a luxury timepiece to me. More something you would expect from Casio or Citizen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 NASCAR style fonts... That's a good way to describe it, Ronin! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rytox Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 [...] NASCAR style fonts [...] that's exactly what I like on that one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 Inevitably this one gets repped. Breitlings are good sellers in the rep market. If they have any brains they will wait until the gen is available in the general market and take one apart before gearing up for manufacturing. And yeah, unless there is something funky going on with the bezel it should be able to be as good as the other Breit super reps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianSW510 Posted May 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 It does indeed have a "lower class" watch look.. but it's something I like about it. It's great for a beater watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbutlerman Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 I really like this one. I'd add it to the collection - no question! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dudemeister Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 I really like the Abyss Yellow version. And the price should also be reasonable at $2000-2400. A year or two down the line we should be able to pick up a used one for $1500-1700, maybe less. But then again, a good quality rep below $200 woul dbe even better.

BrianSW510 Posted May 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 Yes, I'll give it till CNY 2011. If it is not out by then in an acceptable version, Gen it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
