PaoloUngaro Posted June 4, 2011 Report Posted June 4, 2011 (edited) The main flaw i notice is the sub-arrow colour longer. Edited June 4, 2011 by PaoloUngaro
andreww Posted June 5, 2011 Report Posted June 5, 2011 Looks good, wouldn't mind one of these for swimming.
asf Posted June 5, 2011 Report Posted June 5, 2011 same here. At first I hated them and then they grew on me
Jkay Posted June 5, 2011 Report Posted June 5, 2011 I think there are no "great" replicas of this model, as of yet ... so they have not taken off in the community here. Not much chatter about them at all.
Rolexman Posted June 5, 2011 Report Posted June 5, 2011 Does anybody know what the insert is made of? Is it an inlay or is it painted? DLC, PVD etc? No idea.

Not much chatter about them at all. i like it since i saw it in the presentation in basel. Searching on the bay i notice the coloured second sub-arrow is long as per gen. I think only the abyss yellow isn't so....abyss (the version i like more) and probably the exact sizes of number on the bezel. Edited June 5, 2011 by PaoloUngaro
asf Posted June 5, 2011 Report Posted June 5, 2011 Does anybody know what the insert is made of? Is it an inlay or is it painted? DLC, PVD etc? No idea. The gen is rubberized black with metal numbers. Hopefully this is too
Rolexman Posted June 5, 2011 Report Posted June 5, 2011 The gen is rubberized black with metal numbers. Thanks for the info. If so the rubber layer could crack due to the salt/ chlorine water. Strange choice for a diver...
hascho Posted June 5, 2011 Report Posted June 5, 2011 same here. At first I hated them and then they grew on me 100% agree. Waiting for some wrist shots.
By-Tor Posted June 6, 2011 Report Posted June 6, 2011 I'm a Breitling guy but wtf.... I agree 100%. Boring Invicta-like watch and a huge downgrade from the Fish.
Jkay Posted June 7, 2011 Report Posted June 7, 2011 Speak of the devil! Someone asks about the latest SuperOcean and the next day a forum dealer posts a notice that a 1:1 version has become available! I do like the yellow version.
cougaree Posted June 7, 2011 Report Posted June 7, 2011 I'm big fan of the fish, but I won't judge until I see wrist shots
cougaree Posted June 7, 2011 Report Posted June 7, 2011 Black and white one is more interesting than the others I think.
subbiesrock Posted June 7, 2011 Report Posted June 7, 2011 I agree 100%. Boring Invicta-like watch and a huge downgrade from the Fish. +1. Makes me wanna kotzen
PaoloUngaro Posted June 7, 2011 Author Report Posted June 7, 2011 i'm planning to buy it, but i want ask you what SWISS ETA means? is possible that ETA sells movts to chinese rep makers? i don't want to add 70$ for another rep movt.
importr Posted June 7, 2011 Report Posted June 7, 2011 At first when the New Wave SO-IIs came out, i didn't like them. But the more i looked at them, the more i liked them. Yes they are brash and cheaper looking than normal, but IMO will be good as tool watches. Doesnt matter if you ding the bezel! The Invicta likeness doesnt figure in the UK as that brand is thankfully still on the other side of the pond. Anyway, I ordered two. One black & one white. One will be sold off to a waiting 'customer': a Royal Marine I'll post up when they arrive
beanyboy Posted June 8, 2011 Report Posted June 8, 2011 I guess I'm not that picky...I love this watch and like the fact that it's not meant to be fussy based on its MSRP and its style. I just bought one from Trusty. I want to run a black nylon zulu band through it with a yellow stripe in the middle, which I think will look fantastic. Can somebody confirm that the lug width is 22mm so I can get a head start on the strap? Thanks!
b16a2 Posted June 8, 2011 Report Posted June 8, 2011 When I first saw this one I disliked it as well. However, it has certainly grown on me, and is perhaps the only one of the "new school" Breitlings that I am tempted by.....would I buy the genuine though....defeinitely not, I'm with By-tor on this one, the SOSF is where it's at!
s.dupere Posted June 9, 2011 Report Posted June 9, 2011 Im a big fan of this new model. I really can't wait for a good review.
beanyboy Posted June 9, 2011 Report Posted June 9, 2011 I've been collecting reps for over twenty years, so I can say with some confidence that the version I just bought from Trusty is not likely going to be the best version. It's too early. It's usually the fourth or fifth iteration that's good, especially if it's a good selling rep. Still, I've always been a sucker for Breitys and this one is just so simple and clean that I'm willing to get out in front early...
