Wow great Review/Comparison. It's really hard to spot the differences between the 2 watches.

Does anybody know where I might pick one of these up nowadays? I've just gone to pull the trigger on one with Josh and he's said unfortunately it's no longer made! I've asked a couple of other dealers so I'm awaiting their response, however I'm under the impression they all come from the same place? Any suggestions would be appreciated, I've been so apprehensive about ordering it and now I'm really kicking myself!

Had 2 of these in my time (both yellow on rubber). Both taken from me by friends or family. Would like another for myself, gutted to hear they may not be available any longer

Thanks for the quick reply!

 

Skoint - I'm pretty gutted too, I've been debating it for a long time and this was going to be my first rep!

 

Timekeeper1 - This is what Josh has told me and from what I read he's a chap to be trusted. I'm not a massive fan of chrono's so may have to search for a super ocean heritage

 

Del - Maybe one day! In the meantime I hope your genuine is treating you well!

Thanks, it's keeping me sweet. :)

 

Keep an eye on the M2M sales section (once you have posted a few more times then you will see it ;) ) - they occasionally come up for sale but seldom hang around for long.

Hard to see why anyone would want to part with the cash for a Gen..

 

There are some differences but for me not enought to warrant the cost..

 

Sorry Del !

Swiss movement or asian mate and what colour? Heard only odd orange one available here and there.

 

I have this actual watch used in the comparison now. Just ordered an ocean racer strap for it as a nice change

The dial, hands, date and bezel all look almost 1:1. The case by the lugs and the SELs are the most flawed but it looks damn close and like you say Del, you would need the Gen in hand to really notice the difference. I would call that a super rep.

 

Edit: Did not realize how old this thread was lmao.

Are there 2 versions of the SuperOcean Breitling Abyss 44 ?

Look at the bezel, some sellers have round markings between 60 and 15

Some have "rectangular"

 

Whats up with that ?

Is the round one real, and the rectangular fake ?

Or did breitling release 2 different versions ?

 

Del ?

 

Thanks :)

I've seen both versions - both are genuine. Don't ask me why but I assume Breitling changed the design or perhaps there was an initial batch with one type and then another batch with the other type. :dunno:

 

However, I know for certain that mine is genuine since it has been back with Breitling for regulation - I'm sure that they would've told me if it was a rep! :rofl:
