P8B Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 Hey guys, A quick one for Skyland and SuperOcean Heritage 46 owners. I was looking to buy the new Skyland V1 from watchstation with the fixed lume dot@3. Now the question will the rubber strap he is selling with it fit a SuperOcean Heritage 46?? Also can i get a SS bracelet for the Skyland from one of our dealers? As I asked watchstation and unfortunately he cant supply one.. Thanks in advance for your help!

italiano17771 Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 skyland lugs are 22mm and the heritage lugs are 24mm, so the strap wont fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toadtorrent Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 Now the question will the rubber strap he is selling with it fit a SuperOcean Heritage 46?? Also can i get a SS bracelet for the Skyland from one of our dealers? As I asked watchstation and unfortunately he cant supply one.. Hah...I asked the same questions. As said above...22mm for the Skyland, SOH is 24mm. The Ocean Racer strap with deployment is slick...but as a rep strap is only sized for 24mm...HOWEVER, you can buy the rep strap for $95, and get gen rubber pieces from an AD sized for 22mm, and use the deployment clasp. Believe it or not, this is a much cheaper option than getting the gen OR strap. The bracelet is hard to source for the Skyland...and is one of the big reasons people buy the V2 vs. the V1. It's a different factory that produces each. Some people have found the quality of the bracelet to be lacking, and many find it adds so much weight to the piece, that unless your wrists are >7", odds are you won't find it comfortable. I have skinny wrists so thought that the rubber strap as Lani the strap master has experienced (though his guns are Howitzers compare with my chicken arms), would balance the weight of the Skyland more. The leather straps (rep, aftermarket or gen) really add class to it as well. I may source a bracelet down the line...or look for a gen Pro2 bracelet...but not likely. The watch is heavy on the bracelet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P8B Posted September 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 Thanks Guys!! @Toad - was jus reading the various threads bout the Skyland bracelet issues myself, But to be honest the leather looks smashing BUT I would definitely keep a SS bracelet on the side for Skyland... And then again there is that never ending debate.. Brown or black which one is THE one.. And to add to it (i think it was Lani) the pics with the chestnut strap... As if i did not have enough problems buying straps for the PAMs...... Ah well so is life... P.S - what strap are you gonna get with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's coming with a black rep rubber and black moo-croc with deployment...I have a Di Modell 22mm Imperator strap in honey brown (no Breitling white stitching...but I think the strap is AMAZING...best made strap around) and will likely be waiting for a Chestnut croc from Aaron just like Lani's. I thought about the dark brown rep leather on a buckle...but held off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
