importr Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 Well, the QC images i got are exactly as the rep promo photos. All ok so far....my two have less than 1 sec variation per day The strap lugs are 20mm - as per the gen. As for further revisions, i could be wrong but i don't see any significant differences between the rep and standard press photos of the gen? I'd have to check the gen in an AD to be sure though.

importr Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 some better pics (and cheaper price) here: http://www.timeshops.net/product.php?id_product=10208 the only flaw that i can see is that the graduations on the rehaut are SLIGHTLY lower than the gen. They could be a gnats whisker higher up, making them central within the rehaut. This tiny flaw exists on all of the colour combos and on all of the reps i've seen. The only one that escapes this, by illusion, is the black. Excellent macro shots of the gen here: http://www.blowers-jewellers.co.uk/images2/watch_images_pages/watchesbreitling_breitling_pages/Breitling_Superocean_II_A17364_W3573.htm The only other flaw is the Wings applied logo. The raised part of the gen logo is polished, with the background satin. The rep logo is all shiny. This logo flaw carries thru on a lot of Ling reps, and also on the TAG Heuer logos. Not a big deal since you'd have be very, very close to notice it! One fix (if you were that anal) would be to paint a bit of matte silver paint on it with a tiny modelling brush, and wipe the excess off the relief...

FxrAndy Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 I tryed on the gen in Cowes last year and it was a good size, just the blingy full polish that put me off!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
importr Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 I notice that the gen SuperOcean Heritage is now available in 42mm! To me it looks a lot more balanced than the 46mm! (dons flameproof jacket) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolido2000 Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 hmm I think it looks ok. A little too colorful haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s.dupere Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 The more I look at the rep vs gen pictures, the more I think they made an amazing job, this rep is near perfect. IMO better replicated than the steelfish which had more obvious flaws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
importr Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 +1 I couldn't agree with you more! When you see Angus' youtube video on this rep, it looks like a very impressive piece and well made. I just hope the materials stand up to normal usage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plaifender Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Maybe a ProII bracelet would fit.. that is.. if the lugs are indeed spaced for a 22mm bracelet... Don't see it looking good on this watch though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
importr Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 Again, the lugs are 20mm http://www.authenticwatches.com/chsu.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordoba130 Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 I ordered one at PT. Already received the QC pics and it's shipped now. But... I like this watch on a SS bracelet and i'm looking for it. It should be a 20mm Pro II bracelet. I'm owning a Skyland V3 with SS bracelet, but that one is 22mm and the new superocean is 20mm. Who knows where to find the (rep) 20mm SS PRO II bracelet?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
