Left Coast Guy 24 Posted March 29, 2018 Like a quite a few others, I'm decidedly unimpressed most of the new Breitling line -- they just look plastic-y and cheap -- and to be clear I'm talking about the gens! Just some poor design choices and seem to have really lost some of the luxury feel of the brand. That said, the new Super Ocean Heritage models a different story -- the switch from metal bezel to ceramic bezel is a massive improvement. I'd owned the old SOH at one point, but it was just a somewhat plain looking watch....just didn't really pop. Well the new SOH pops! So here are a couple quick shots -- apologies, photography isn't my forte My pics don't really do it justice, but its a pretty sexy watch on the write. I'm boring, so I went with the blue, but seeing it, I really wish I'd gone for the brown! Initial thoughts: the ceramic bezel really shines, the case seems a touch thinner than the last version, though still a really big watch at 46MM. The strap is gummy leather, so really comfortable, but you've got to cut it to size it. The buckle is pretty substantial too, so you can feel it when typing etc -- the buckle buttons on my move around a bit. Not loose, per se, just not tight or hard to press.....not sure how that is relative to gen. The dial seems pretty much the same as the old SOH, though maybe (?) a touch more sunburst effect and shade darker, though its been a couple of years since I had my last SOH so just going off memory. Not sure of the factory, bought from PC, but the build quality is pretty solid -- very tight bezel clicks, mechanism for crown lock is very smooth/tight, no rattles anywhere. Overall, very happy with the watch. I always want an SOH, but the style seemed off when I had them in the past. This version nails it. Not letting go of this one!

Haltec 0 Posted April 2, 2018 @Left Coast Guy Nice watch. Can you check is there any engravings between lugs? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
k3rm87 180 Posted April 2, 2018 This may actually be the thread that leads me to finally pull the trigger on the SOH Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Left Coast Guy 24 Posted April 4, 2018 @Haltec Not wearing it today and just saw this, but will check when I have a minute at home and update On 4/2/2018 at 03:01, k3rm87 said: This may actually be the thread that leads me to finally pull the trigger on the SOH I'm telling you, the gloss on the ceramic bezel makes a HUGE difference. I know folks were into the old SOH, but they just seemed plain on the wrist to me -- the ceramic really make it pop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Haltec 0 Posted April 4, 2018 @Left Coast Guy Great, Thnx. Some sunnyday dial/bezel photos and pearl closeup would be great too.. (When/If you got the time) It's really difficult to tell the (REP) colour from owner's photos. (Not much of those unfortunately) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Left Coast Guy 24 Posted April 4, 2018 @Haltec Nothing between the lugs, and here are some more pics. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Haltec 0 Posted April 6, 2018 (edited) Thnx mate. Looking better when browsing forum on desktop PC. I must have turned on some bluelight something filter on my smartphone - it completely change photo colours. Not good for dial sampling.

Hamblehound 7 Posted April 6, 2018 Im confused Is this the new batch of reps that came out recently or gen? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wolf359 1 Posted April 13, 2018 (edited) Was going to moan about the "p" and the "a" not lining up perfectly on the dial like the gen superocean heritage 1, but on the new ceramic superocean heritage 2 , they do not line up perfectly either, the new rep version is as per gen. Hooray looks fantastic. Thanks for posting this, hope the ceramic doesn't scratch. The older non v2 reps had problems with the crowns malfunctioning, might see if I can get an extra crown/tube assembly just in case. Outside of a white omega ploprof, this is the penultimate summer watch. Also been eyeing a pretty Chrono gen tag formula 1 quartz w/gen nato strap as another great summer option.

LaraA 5 Posted April 15, 2018 Its a really nice watch i own the Gen 1, owned the gen 2 for 2-3 days, then sold it Because of the dead giveaway in my eyes The rep have a triangular shape thats lowered and the pearl sticks up The gen have a little lowered triangle also, but only very little, and the shape of the pearl looks more like a ring Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Haltec 0 Posted April 15, 2018 (edited) Yes. I don't get how why they won't get this properly. Wrong bezel insert pearl (they should mimic CRPO, LMPO or any Omega actually - they're more alike than this REP one), wrong buckle, wrong bezel edges (Not machined - don't know the process rep maker used), wrong indices, no engraving between lugs.. missed A/p alignment.. CRPO pearl is more alike than the replicated for SOH one ????! Like allways I guess either they sell enough on streets or.. I don't know.. Had tried GEN black version yesterday.. beautifull watch.. I was going to get New SEAWOLF (REP) but after i tried SOH II - I am going to wait to proper soh rep, or I won't be buying neither one.

Ferax 801 Posted June 24, 2018 Anyone bought the Breitling SOH II ceramic 42mm? It should be NWBIG but I heard the miyota 9015 is loud as hell... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’ve just received mine. It’s a great looking piece, but yeh the 9015 is loud as f*ck! Loudest I’ve ever heard. Lol. No regrets though, it looks amazing. Now I just need to source a mesh or strap for it as I don’t like the leather mesh that comes with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
