davea Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 PC / Trusty has a transocean non-chrono available ... Your thoughts? I need a dress watch or three. http://www.1-pc8838.com/0blt00101-transocean-ssle-a2892-pi-11914.html?image=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hascho Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Wow, Looks really nice. I am not very familiar with the Transoceans... What are the flaws on this one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davea Posted February 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 That's what I'd like to find out. I'm leaning towards a white dial with a brown croc strap and a black dial with a black horned strap.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneed12 Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Does the gen have the display back? I haven't been able to find a good pic. I am also thinking about picking up one of these. The white with the brown strap is speaking to me. I might flip my IWC Mark XVI for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opti Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 First mistake is pretty blatant, its has Chronograph ethced on the case back when it clearly isn't. They seem to be using the same case back as the chrono version they released earlier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fischyyy Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Exactly opti, this makes it an absolute no-go, just as ridiculous as the Patek rep with the IWC sticker on the movement. If you want one, I would consider the Chrono, maybe with the white dial, it seems more accurate to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreww Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Taking a quick look and comparing to the pics at Breitling.com it looks that the lugs are shaped differently, the crown is wrong, the lume dots should have black outlines, and as previously the caseback is wrong. This model doesn't seem to even have a display back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeff g Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 (edited) The gen TransOcean is pretty close to the perfect watch. Absolutely beautiful. The rep versions are crap...period. Edited February 29, 2012 by jeff g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bartkuip Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 Size is wrong, gen has 43mm rep has 45mm. I'm really disappointed beacuse wanted to buy rep Transocean. I've saw that puretime offers a 44mm case. Is this another version then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
