Superocean Abyss on Bracelet

Recommended Posts

LightGeek

In ongoing watch purge, I've tried to save a bunch of them by doing new straps and bits. This one was years in the waiting and I should have done it when the CAD was stronger against USD. Alas, I bought a used bracelet on eBay for around $600 CAD in hopes it will revitalize the SOA I haven't worn for almost 10 months.

 

Strangely, the bracelet shipped with about $12 worth of postage and no tracking. Was worried about that but eBay would have my back if it was wrong or missing. Then I noticed it said 878A endlinks but found out it's the same as the 131A I asked for. Overall, extremely happy. I'll need to do some polishing but the $600 CAD was worth it. I swapped in a gen Swiss ETA years ago when I got the watch and it deserves the bracelet.

It's a hard step to take... $350 rep with a $600+ bracelet. If it didn't have a Swiss mvmt... I might not swing for it.

Thats kinda what has put me off but then I also bought a brand new genuine leather strap (should have waited and got a bracelet :( )

Well worth the cost, in my opinion. Your total outlay is still half the price of a preowned gen. Cape Cod should bring that back to minty in no time.

What I love about this watch is the depth of the dial features. It's a nice break from printed dials.

They have one of these left at my AD

Had to stop myself from trying it on as I knew I would end up buying something I couldn't afford

Apparently this model rep is no longer made, though I can find the 21 jewel version with the shitty yellow colour easily.

Your watch looks beautiful

Wear it with pride
