blaze4v 0 Posted August 27, 2013 I'm looking to buy a Breitling Superocean 42 as my very first rep. However I would really like it with the SS bracelet as opposed to the black rubber strap I've seen most dealers sell it with. Most have the 44 with the SS bracelet but not the 42. Do you all know if they would sell it with the SS bracelet? The gen SS bracelet is quite pricey, but I'm thinking it would be a nice upgrade if I'm planning on keeping for a while and use as my daily. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lars_St 0 Posted August 27, 2013 I think the best way to find that out is by asking some of our TD's. Just ask them if the ss bracelet is available Good luck in finding the bracelet! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cynikal.Mindset 1 Posted August 27, 2013 the "good" model is not available with bracelet...though you can buy a cheap model with bracelet...so, ur gonna have to buy a good model and a cheap model to get a good version with bracelet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks, I already asked a couple. One answered but kind of vague "Sir, we have this in stock" with no mention of price, so not sure if they read my question fully.

I'm pretty sure I've located a couple of the "good" models with rubber strap. Could you point me to where I can find the "cheap" model with bracelet? Thanks!

Be careful mate as the width is different. One is 20mm and the other is 22mm. Not too sure which way round. I wanted to do the same thing but found no solution except to buy a gen breitling bracelet. :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kamma 1 Posted August 30, 2013 The 44 is a stunning rep, you won't be disappointed if you get one, I do like the 42 and would prefer it if it was on a st/st bracelet but don't let it put you off.. I think a 42 will be next on my list once the wallet recovers lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mostling 40 Posted August 30, 2013 Yeah, for the 42mm the is no rep bracelet it has 20mm lugs, the cheap abyss is 44mm with 22mm lugs. If you want bracelet for the 42mm you're gonna have to go with gen bracelet. That watch does look sick on bracelet tho, and the rep is a really good rep too so might be worth getting gen bracelet for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mostling 40 Posted August 30, 2013 (edited) Haha, yeah it really does look nice, thinking about getting one again now that i'm liking smaller watches again. Edited August 30, 2013 by mostling Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blaze4v 0 Posted September 1, 2013 Haha, yeah it really does look nice, thinking about getting one again now that i'm liking smaller watches again. Great feedback mates...what's up with that red tear drop on the top right of the bracelet. BTW, I'm going for it, and will post results. What do you all think of getting the Sellita SW200 movement for the extra $$ over the Asian 2824? I'm looking at puretime btw. And I'm looking at keeping this for a while.

Daywatch 4 Posted February 15, 2014 Hi, have there been any developments in a SS bracelet option for the SO 42mm?

quick978 0 Posted March 18, 2015 Hi guys, After reading this thread I was wondering if anyone could help me. My black rubber has split on my superocean and I wanted an exact replacement for it, I've searched and searched but can't find a rubber or ss one (unless I go gen) The markings on strap say (20-18 132s) does this mean I need a 20mm strap? And would this one http://www.watch-band-center.com/watchstrap-p23295h357s359-Watch-band-20mm-blac.html Go straight on it? Thanks guys Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sgtguk 0 Posted March 19, 2015 Yes that band would fit mate, 20mm at the lug end and 18mm at the buckle end too...you can pick up gen rubber straps on the bay, just keep an eye out or put a wtb up on the forum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
