Okay, I placed my order. Will make a large review as soon as it gets here... Then we will know more.

Me too,,,I went for the blue one but while the looks are basically there,,,I'm more interested in the overall case, screw down crown, bezel action etc.

while I'm waiting I'll pick up a 24mm mesh bracelet,,,

Gosh, what a beauty! I hope the black dial will be as shiny as the brown one. Very similar to the UPO but not that typical Breitling style. Will enrich my Breitling collection soon! But would be nice to see it with the new style rubber strap and the new folding clasp soon.

Great, I picked up the black one.

That mesh bracelet is out of my pricerange right now. But I'm sure it will look gorgeous.

Any ideas on the cost of the gen mesh bracelet...I've heard from $500-$350ish....

I know someone who has procured a generic mesh strap for a reasonable cost.

If it looks the goods I'm sure he will review it and then let everyone know where to get them.

I'm going generic,,if you look on TZ and search for "Walt99" looks like he sells a decent one for about 120 (usd) and its 24mm.

[ajoesmith]

what about this one 130194108384

Its only $20

WOW... This generic strap looks really good!

Here's Walt's. This thing is beautiful...worth buying a watch just to be able to wear the bracelet. Pictures are from lonestarwatches.com:

i have 2 mesh bracelets, one 24mm and the other 22mm.

i wear the 24 on a sub and the 22 on my steelfish

sorry i dont have a pic of the sfso with it but it looks pretty good.

i prefer buckles instead of clasps for divers.

Another small difference: The gen case has a cut out next to the crown.

I think its only visiable on back side.

Great watch anyway...

Edit:

Wondering if there`s gonna be a descent rep of the 38mm version...

Anybody got an idea what the respective ETA designation of Breitling`s Cal.37 is?
