Black SOHv2 on gen mesh - revisited!

Recommended Posts

Del

I bought this Breitling SuperOcean Heritage v2 from Watch International in July 2012 but I think I've worn it only once! Firstly, I sent it to Wiz for a relume and bezel insert repair, and then I sent it back to him again for new AR as the inner rep AR was not done well. So, after spending many, many months being worked on, I finally have it back again and can actually now start to enjoy it! :)

 

The new AR is almost clear so is quite a change from the rep (and gen) purple-tinged AR, and I think it works well against the black dial (sometimes I think purple-tinged AR makes black dials look blue). However, the AR is not particularly strong so doesn't cut down reflections nearly as well as the rep AR did. So, pros and cons on this one.

 

I must say that this watch really has a gen look and feel to it, obviously helped by the gen mesh but even so, it really looks great!

 

I'm delighted to have this one back into the fold again so snapped a few new pics tonight! :D

 

Hope you enjoy! :thumbsup2:

Fantastic photos (as usual) of a fantasic piece, the mods on the watch have definitely given it a better look. Incidentally where'd you get the mesh from?

Would you say it's worth paying the extra for the V3 or is the V2 the way to go?

Sorry I'm thinking of the chrono version. Would value your opinion on the chrono though.

Del, glad you got it back home, after it's extended holidays. It must feel like a new addition.

 

Great pics as usual, and it looks the bollocks.

 

Enjoy.

Thanks! :) I picked up the mesh on eBay believe it or not - I was just in the right place at the right time! ;)

Chrono v3 for me. I had one for a short spell recently (blue version) - pics are in this Breitling review section. ;)

Bloody hell Del, stop with the Breitling photo shoots. I don't earn enough money to buy all the watches that I want after seeing your photos.
