    Superocean Heritage 42- My New Arrival-NEW PICS

    The SOH arrived this morning and I am very impressed.

    The watch was purchased from Andrew Michaels Breitling AD on the recommendation of some TZ Members.

    Firstly, I got a great deal but more importantly the customer service was exceptional.

    I could not recommend this AD highly enough.

    Anyway some pics and some thanks to cgs, RossC and Andrew

    Very smart. Since having my LLD on a mesh I've come to appreciate those more. Cracking watch.

    That is a very nice piece. I've always liked the Super Ocean Heritage and now it's in 42mm guise I think a lot more people will be getting them, however, I can't justify one at the moment as my SMP 2254 seems to take up the majority of wristtime.

    Nice one Michael, glad they sorted you out.

    That really looks the perfect size, much more wearable than the 46, perhaps?

    I will organise tomorrow.

    I ordered an additional Diver Pro Rubber II strap which I switched to earlier this evening.

    Very comfy......

    Ross,

    I could not handle the 46.

    The 42 wears very well with the curved lugs and the size is about my limit.

    cheers, Michael


    PS....great call re the AD

    Thats the best looking Breitling IMO. You've got the best colour and size combination for the model and the mesh strap is spot on!

    Very nice!

    I was only in Andrew Michaels yesterday afternoon admiring the Breitling display, including these 42's.

    I was picking up a Pro I rubber for my SOH 46...

    I loved the blue SOH's on display, but your black one looks good too.

    This is the only breitbling that looks any good imo. A nice catch there, very smart.

    Very nice. Looks great on the mesh too. Do you know if you easily change the bezel inserts as I d like to have one with black and green inserts

    Hi, Not sure.

    It would be a great option to able to switch the bezel over.

    This one is stunning and I am not a fan of gold watches

    My wrist is circa 6.7" Nice weight although I need to adjust the bracelet slightly. The 42 is my max. IMO It wears slightly larger than the PO 2500. I think the curved lugs and slimmer thickness add to this view.

    The bi-metal is actually really nice when viewed but I think it would a true marmite watch.

    The blue / blue is also very nice

    i have the 46 bronze version, it's stunning in the flesh, really good under bright lights as well as it picks up the hour markers

    Gratz ! Really like the SOH in 42mm guise. Enjoy it.
    I just wish they did a chrono in 42mm as well (or smaller). I'd be all over that.

    Looks great. So great in fact I have just bought one on mesh without seeing it in the flesh (should be here at the end of the week). I tried a 46 on in an AD and it was too big and the 38 too small, so the 42 should be perfect! Just need to get myself one of those rubber straps now. Where did you pick the diver pro rubber II up from?

    Stunning on the mesh and would be great on a leather also, something like a Toshi or db10. I tried one on in an AD last year and was surprised how well it wore for its size.

    Congrats.

    Looks great Micheal on both mesh and rubber.
    I would try the new breitling eom leather straps which are black with black stitching but white sides and underneath,excellent straps.
    I got one from Sam at Andrew Micheals for my steelfish really adds a very sporty look.

    cheers mate. Great discount after mentioning your name. I will certainly look into these. Any further info would be great

    Really nice watch. I used to have one on rubber with deployment too and it was great. I also have purchased a few Breitlings from both Sam and Andrew in Newark and they are great company to deal with and are very helpful in terms if stock and offers. Thoroughly recommend anyone using them.

    Here you go Michael I got one of these but in red for £135.50 including delivery mate.

    Excellent strap.

    Go on the breitling site and you can also see the straps.

    It's leather on top and some type of rubber underneath.
    Very sturdy and sporty strap.
    If I get chance tomorrow will post pics of mine tomorrow.
    There's a couple for sale on ebay may give you better idea.
    I have a black dial airwolf coming Wednesday and will gettheblack and white new strap for it,saves marking the polished pro 2 bracelet.
    Regards
    Col.
