PeterWorcester 0 Posted March 17, 2011 Ahhhh… That great feeling when the watch you've been waiting for finally arrive at your door and you can't wait to tear into all that bubble wrap and find the little beauty you've been anxiously awaiting. Well, Two days ago I hit the "Daily Double" and both watches I'd been waiting for arrived. I ordered Robert's beautiful DSSD, this time I also had it "pre-serviced", oiled, lubed, calibrated and I'm happy to say that the extra $ is well worth the price, It keeps flawless time, and I mean literally no variation in 3 days now. I'm only sorry that the pics below don't really do the watch justice, I'm just not getting the hang of it yet. So I apologize in advance, but I figured this is a VERY popular watch and so we've all seen them, I also spaced on the wrist shot of this one. It's truly a masterpiece though, everything is about as perfect, to my eye, as I can tell. Love the feel and thecraftsmanship. (I'd been wearing the $88 DSSD and loved that one but this one just looks nicer) The next watch is the Breitling SuperOcean, with the 2836 2 movement, black dial and SS bracelet. This one also keeps near perfect time, It's running with maybe +/- 1 second a day. I love this watch, love the feel and it's beautifully made and feels really nice on the wrist, not as hefty as the DSSD but pretty solid. Once again the pictures probably don't do it justice but it's a beautiful. The band feels great, I have a gen Blackhawk with the older smaller linked band and I like the feel of this one better. I am one happy camper. I like them both so much it's a struggle to switch them up. Ok now for the prerequisite photos First the DSSD fro Robert Now for the Breitling SuperOcean Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PeterWorcester 0 Posted March 17, 2011 Where did u get the Breitling? And for how much.. if u don't mind me asking B, Got the Breitling from Silix-Prime, it says that its the Swiss ETA-2824 movement but when I opened it up it sure looks like a 2836 2 to me, but I'm no expert so they could be identical. It's this one http://www.silix-prime.com/bres048-p-2155.html and it was $270 but I just noticed that it's now $275 ???? I also have the SuperOcean with the "brand new ETA 2836" movement, white face and leather strap on order from Mary at WatchesInternational. Her's is the 44mm case and is $274. (I know, why would I want two of the same watches? The white face and leather strap, to me, is a little dressier for those occasions) Cheers Peter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PeterWorcester 0 Posted March 17, 2011 Two great watches Peter - congrats Thanks Del, I also have the 44mm SOSF with the White dial and leather strap on order with Mary with the "brand new ETA 2836" movement, which I think I saw on your wrist and loved it. I can't wait for that one. It's a very classy looking watch. Cheers, Peter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boneyjr 1 Posted March 17, 2011 From my noob reading, the only difference between the 2824 and 2836 is the addition of the date function -- which yours has right? so it's all good i think. but i could be wrong Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PeterWorcester 0 Posted March 17, 2011 awesome choices bro!!! well done. please tell me that is a small piece of lint on the dssd @ 12? oh and dry lube the bracelet of both, you wont be sorry!!!!!!!! Mike, LOL yeah, I saw that piece of lint when I posted the pic here, missed it in Aperture and in Photobucket. I was sure some one would pick up on that, good catch. What do you use for dry lube for the SS bracelets ? Cheers, Peter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cynikal.Mindset 1 Posted March 17, 2011 Take the divers extension off the DSSD and it'll be even more comfy! that's just silly talk! I have 2 DSSDs and they are comfortable with the DEs still on them. Maybe for a small wrist it might help but on an average to larger size wrist the extension link has no bearing on comfort Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
