After I bought my SOHC "Green" Edition my friend Davy fell for it.

Our friends at Andrew Michaels were also able to do him a great deal on his own "Green" LE. Davy's "Green" is on the rubber strap which adds a slight level of comfort over the "mesh", but I still love that "shark" bracelet. :D

In fact, so does Davy as he is ordering a "mesh" for it.

I like the clean looking dial of the SOH but I prefer the extra functionality of the chrono version.

Here are a few quick and dirty comparison shots of the two watches.

The SOHC is slightly thicker than the SOH

I had a chance to see/handle both of these in Harrods of London earlier this week. Both are absolutely stunning. Congrats.

I saw both of those models in the flesh at the weekend and think they are both gorgeous.

I have the "standard" black dial SOH, and love it, but would also welcome either of those "greens" to join it.

i don't like, my opinion, the dial of the chrono, why?
simple, the dial is too 'busy'... full of writtens, logo, dials.. too overflow... no readibility.

this is a constant on almost Breiling for Bentley series too.

Both great watches, I'm not really into green watches but those are very nice. Personally I like the chrono better, I think that the case looks more balanced with the pushbutons , I don't know if that makes any sense to anybody else, but I generally like chronos better than non-chronos. I also think that the SOH non-chrono looks kinda like an Omega, again that's just me. Either way they're great watches.

Some may say this is also a failing of the Navitimer models as well but I like a busy dial. It gives you something new to look at each time.
