Has anyone ever seen a picture or the watch itself of a SOS with blue face and black Ocean Racer strap? I am considering buying an Ocean Racer strap for my blue SOS and can't decide on the blue or black.

I don't have a picture but I vote Black. check out this site, you can sellect any combl of straps and Breitling watches. Try a Brown Croc..my personal fav on a blue Ling. Go to the fitting tab to see watch strap combos.

I have considered that very combination in the past. In general, I'm not a huge blue/black combo guy (at least not with clothes). But the blue-dial SOS looks almost gray under certain lighting, and I think the black OR would look good with it. Like you, I've never seen one in real life. I love the circular pattern on the dial against the circles in the OR strap.

To my eye, the dial color on that japanese fitting site looks just a touch more blue than the real thing, but I still don't think it looks bad with the black OR. My vote is black. I also vote that you post pictures here when you get it! 8)

My vote would be black as well. I have seen the other two OR colours, blue and bronze and really don't care for them. They were both on SOH models.
I had a Steelfish with black dial, and put an OR on it. It looks great! Here is a link for you. This is not my Steelfish, but some kind person posted the pics for me to see before I ordered the OR:
viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2832&hilit=steelfish+on+ocean+racer
I don't see why the black would not look good with the blue dial.
Cheers,
Carl
