VERY NICE. I prefer the stick markets over numbers myself on watches. Nice to see that they finally came out with the markers. |

Yes, I like the new SA a lot better. Kind of borrowed the markers at 3, 6 and 9 o'clock from the Steelfish. Don't know about those 2, they kind of look lost and like they don't belong. Should probably have been square. I like the new SuperOcean. Has a bit chunkier look, I think. Especially the one with the yellow dial, the numerals look great on it! Cheers, Carl |

To me the hour hand on the SO doesn't look like it goes with the minute hand, or vice versa. |

actually i think im more fond of the numbers on the SA than the 08 version. the SA in my opinion is a chunky sporty watch especially with the rubber strap. i just bought a 07 SA last week, im in love with it lol. im glad i made the purchase before the price increase and before the new style. i also really like the new ocean racer rubber straps but i hate the fact that they dont say breitling on them. they need to come out with rubber strap that says breitling with the new bracelet style clasp |

Thanks a lot UB77 for sharing! I have to agree with both CSH and dadicroce. The hands on the SO looks kind of a mismatch to me. Also, I prefer the numbers on the SA dial for more or less the same reasons as dadicroce. I'm very pleased I have the 07' SA, because a 08' would make me think it over a few more times before getting it. |

I agree with the majority of the other posts in as much as the baton markers on the new SA look OK, but I still much prefer the arabic numbers on it instead. The double batons also seem to make it look a little cluttered to me. And I agree that the hour and minute hands on the SO may take a little getting used to!  Hmmmm, Breitling have made a few slightly strange moves with the new models this year. Asymetric lugs on the Bentley, rubber bezel on the Chrono-matic, mis-matched hands on the SO......
I'm sure we'll all get used to them and be loving it in no time, but at the moment I'm not totally 100% convinced. |

I agree with you Driver8, usually when an innovative designer house brings out a forward design we consumers tend to feel awkward about it, then slowly but surely we start to understand the new beauty and fall in love with it. |

Well I'm glad I bought my SA last week, much prefer the numbers on the dial. I do however love the Ocean Racer Rubber Strap on it. I've got one on my SOH46 and it's the most comfortable strap i've ever worn, especially as it's adjustable in length - great for a hot day! Looks great in red as well

Are they discontinued the Arabic SA or are both going to be available? I can't see them keeping both SuperOcean dials.. I don't mind the dial on the SuperOcean, but hte new hands look un-breitling.. remind me of a Omega Broad Arrow.. |

not for me, i really do prefer the big silver arabic numbers but I do believe there will be a coral dial version 
as for the SO......I agree, hands look 'wrong' but even worse is the highlighted 6,9&12 indices.....should all look the same imho DD (on holiday so post count down a bit!) |

The stick markers look like HELL compared to the Arabic numerals and the biggest problem is the fact that they did away with the Silver sub dials. I'm glad I got mine before they F----d it up ! |
