dingle 57 Posted April 1, 2011 great watch and pics........I hate the mesh tho.... You hate the mesh?! Wash your mouth out boy! Actually, I was unsure myself at first but when I got it on my wrist I was hooked! Having said that, I've got a blue Ocean Racer strap to put on when the notion takes me . I really do. Not for sure why, just does not suit my eye I suppose.....maybe because it reminds me of the proplof Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Del 4,462 Posted April 10, 2011 Nothing to do with Dingleberry's comments above , but I've put the SOHv2 onto an Ocean Racer strap for a wee change. I bought it from Mary recently to give me an option from the mesh. I know that the SOH really suits the mesh (and I like it on mesh) but I must say that I rather like this Ocean Racer strap too - very nice quality, plus it's nice to have the Breitling clasp (which the aftermarket mesh doesn't have). Anyway, some more pics are called for Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
amuthon 0 Posted April 10, 2011 I think you could wear it on a potato bag, it still would look great! Fantastic watch, I would like to have one too: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Del 4,462 Posted April 10, 2011 Nice pic greg The OR strap is surprisingly comfortable too - very supple for such a thick rubber band. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E-Dub 0 Posted April 10, 2011 I've got a tracking # for this from Mary, and one from the eBay mesh link... Hopefully this week! Love that this is a rep where the strap upgrade gives you options, not just another "throw away the strap that it came on" I wonder if most dealers would give you a $5-$10 break if you just asked them to just keep the pos most PAM's arrive with?

E-Dub 0 Posted April 25, 2011 Hey Del, I don't know if you saw but I did end up getting my SOHV2 from Mary before she closed sales of it. I also got my ebay mesh, but I haven't put it on yet. It is much more "brushed" whereas the watch itself is practically "mirror polished". I was going to come back to ask where you got yours, but now looking again, I think I might have the same strap you do, and it seems to look fine. Does yours look brushed? Does the contrast in person seem off? Maybe I'll put it on later, but for now, I'm enjoying the OceanRacer strap. E-Dub Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rav747 0 Posted April 25, 2011 Beautiful watch, Del. Love the blue color. Personally, don't think I could pull off the mesh band, but it looks great on your wrist and other wristes I have seen congrats, man. Wear it well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've still got mine on the OR strap - liking it a lot . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E-Dub 0 Posted April 25, 2011 Thanks for the quick reply. I'm going to put it on tonight after work just to see what it looks like, but I'm feeling like it will be right back to the ocean racer until I can find a suitably polished meshy. E-Dub Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

E-Dub The Staib mesh seems to be the best quality (don't know if it's polished though) but it is not cheap! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
