I just bought a Superocean Heritage 46 Chronograph New Limited Edition from AD in Bangkok. I can say I love it at first sight. After buying, I just realized 2 funny things, which I should share with you guys:-

1) I think it is too new so that Breiting did not have time to update their official website about this model
2) This LE is on Caliber 23, which is different from the previous Superocean (Caliber 13). BIG THANKS to "Breitlingsource" that I could get a valuable info on this otherwise I'd think that my watch is malfunction as Caliber 23 does not have Date Quick Set as shown in the provided manual. After checking with AD, the manual was misprinted, which they will issue a new one and mail to me...you know how new it is!

I do love my new watch (my 1st Breitling), but think Breitling should be more prepared when launching a new model. How do u think?

Rolex had done the same thing. The first year the new GMT II was introduced, many customers were still getting the manual from the classic (read outdated :wink: ) GMT....

Thanks for sharing Spartan. That's why an exclusive community like Breitlingsource is needed as the manufacturer can't catch up with their frequent launches :lol:

Why do the dates on this thread bounce between 2009, 2007 and 2008? This SO Ltd Ed (also with black dial) is my #1 pic for my first Breitling as well. How have you enjoyed wearing it? Any issues or problems? :P

Omega21, thanks. I enjoy wearing it a lot especially during weekend. unfortunately, can't wear it on weekday as the size is too large to fit on my shirt sleeves :P

you mean you got this SO Ltd as well? congrats!

so far so good....no problem (with my fingers cross)
