Hello everyone.

My first post here and would love to ask all SOH/SOHC owners for opinions, pros, cons of owning one of these watches.

Any wrist shots, (along with wrist size) would be truly appreciated.

The crown looks a little fragile and would love to know if it needs treating with kid gloves.

Thank you.

Here you go....
I love mine...a really refined design.. Its my larggest watch at 46mm and actually way too big for my 6.25 wrist but I love it anyways... Its nice to have one beast in the collection which satisfies my big watch craving....My small watch craving gets satisfied by my 34 mm omega seamaster from 1948.

The crown is fine and is not fragile...

I have mine on croc strap which makes it wear smaller on the wrist...the SOHC wears small for a 46mm. A white dial would seem much larger..as is always the case with black vs white dials

Yeah, the crown is very solid, and don't forget that it is also screw down which will help protect it.

Crown is screw down so as was said above - very solid - no issues. Watch is very heavy when compared to Navi series. In my opinion, it wears very large for a 46mm because of the 24mm lugs/bracelet. I just took off the mesh and put it on black rubber Ocean Racer and it wears a tiny bit better (smaller). No pics just yet. Otherwise, it's a phenomenal watch. I have banged it into desks, chairs, walls, doors so hard I was SURE the bezel or crystal was going to be scratched/scuffed but so far the high quality construction is paying off - it is scratchless!

Welcome to the forum. I absolutely love my SOH's and will look to buy another. I love the clean and classic look and appreciate the way you can change looks with different bracelets and straps. I agree that it wears a little larger than 46mm but not too big. Here are some pics of my LE on the mesh bracelet with silver dial. I also have the LE with the new blue dial on the Ocean Racer strap and will post pics soon.
