The more I look at these, the more I'm digging them. Going to hit my AD this weekend. Hopefully they have a few in stock.

I was tempted to buy the new 36mm version in white for my wife but my AD tracked down the last one of the previous all white version in white for her instead that she loves. I'm hoping to see the new versions sometime in the near future.

After a long time of indecision I finally got a green one
The watch is quite thin and light and wears not like a typical 44 mm watch, but more like 42 or 43. The generous lume lasts through the whole night. The overall reability is good and the bezel action impecableImage

Home run for Breitling. If I were shopping for another sporty diver this would be on a short list.
Absolutely A+ design, delightfully fun modern vintage.

I've come close to picking up one of the new superoceans in steel virtually since launch but decided something different - preorder in and deposit paid for a 44 bronze version. Will put up some pix when it arrives but I've been warned it might be awhile. Apparently they are struggling to make the bronzes match supply and here in Oz we are a fair way down the pecking order.

I purchased the 42mm white Superocean recently. It is a beautiful watch. The pictures on the site don't do it justice. I'm having some buyers remorse though. I'm not sure if I will keep it or not.

If I decide to sell, what is the best place to sell it? Do you all recommend eBay?

So my 44 SuperOcean bronze (and brown) has arrived. What can I say by "wow".

1. the photos/renders on line don't do the watch justice - the smokey degrade brown dial is gorgeous and doesn't come across in the press images
2. the watch wears really small - the 44 is so light and thin and beautifully proportioned it just melts onto your wrist
3. compared to the old superocean its so much more complex and visually interesting.
4. i generally don't like deployent clasps but this one is really nice.

I was about to say don't like these at all (from the general pics online) but having seen yours that light blue is stunning. Best colour I've seen so far.

Sell it right on here!

Although that's my biggest problem with Breitling. You can expect to loose 30-40 percent out the door. Love the brand but the depreciation is terrible.

I just picked up the 44mm black dial version.

When i first saw the pics of this new Superocean I thought it looked hideous.

However, - when I saw it in the flesh for the first time I was blown away. It's stunning!!

Extremely comfortable due to the thinness of the case and the new micro adjust on the bracelet is fantastic. A perfect fit every time.

The 'only' 38 hour power reserve isn't a problem to me because of the lack of a date function. Just set the time and go.

Love it.
