I've been controversial on this and said "All are hideous!" HOWEVER, I have no problem at all with the watch heads (the SOH is OK, and I really like the SOHC) : I am only saying that I don't like them on the mesh. The only watch that I think looks OK on mesh is the Photoshop mock-up I did of a Navi World on mesh...... and that's because of the old vintage 806 connection. If I was in the market for any of these, it'd definitely be the SOHC in black on black croco. I might also consider a bronze SOHC on brown croco (if I could get it to be a vaguely close match to the dial), but that's it for me. |

Black Chrono on Mesh, looks superb and so classy in the flesh, the brochure does not do it justice. Regards LightingMan |

Love my Black SOH on black croc. Had the bronze on brown calf and sold it. I ordered it sight unseen last year when they were first available. It got old fast. |

I voted black, because I do think it looks the best on mesh. But I don't think I would put this watch on a mesh myself, and don't think that black would be my personal choice. |

I hear you all, mesh is a marmite type thing, no halfway, either love or loath my reason for blue choice is my seadweller is too like the black one and You know I have no colour taste after co-founding the coral club  anyway, if the gods of affluence and luck smile on me , I'll be sporting a black and steel Aquanaut one day! one thing is true though....don't fancy a brown one! |

I had to vote all are hideous (ON THE MESH). Now on leather or rubber, thats a whole different story. If our LE doesnt end up with the SOHC, I will definitely be getting either the SOH or the SOHC but on leather croc. |

Blue chrono on mesh - but I won't buy it until a smaller version (say 40 mm) with day-date isn't available. A "normal" steel bracelet (either Navi, Pilot or ProII) would be also fine for this watch though... Regards: Robertus |

I voted for the black chrono, though like others I really haven't warmed up to the mesh just yet

I've bought the 20 mm just to use for other watches: my CSO, my Chrono Cockpit or my Sinn 103 St Sa best is the Sinn for this mesh regarding style. But the original Superocean in the fifties was also available with a mesh bracelet so this is authentic in style. However a double-push-button clasp (like that of the Ocean Racer) with divers extension link would be much preferable. Regards: Robertus |

Black SOH - NOT CHRONO - classic appeal... |

I have the SOHC in black, with a black croc on deployment.... Its killer! and I cant stop staring at it............The mesh looked way to big for me. The strap makes the watch look smaller. pete |
