Good Evening,

I am new to old watches and appear to have found myself in dangerous waters. I posted an introduction and was encouraged to post anything that I'm considering buying before committing to it. Until a few days ago, I was blissfully unaware of the SuperOcean 2105. Having seen a photo of one, I am afraid that I need one. I have found this one for sale and have requested a few photos of the movement from the seller.

I'd welcome any feedback on this watch

Thank you,
david

lovely and rare piece in excellent condition.
needs a decent strap, faux crox doesn't do that watch justice, but that's the only issue I see.
tan/brown calf or mesh work well on the 2105

stunning example
you'd be hard pressed to find a better one !

price seems to be a little on the optimistic side but given the rarity and condition it doesnt surprise me
if it speaks to you , why not ?

disclaimer : I dont know the seller nor have I had any dealings with him

A while back there was a collection of NOS Breitlings being offered by a jewelry store on EBAY for $125,000. I believe it included about 20 or so watches and the same number of stopwatches. Does anybody know if this the same seller?

As Roff would say use the search feature, so I did and here is the topic, viewtopic.php?f=11&t=56472, and yes the same seller!

Thanks for the thoughts. I pulled the trigger on it and will now be looking for a mesh bracelet to put on it.

yes, these are a decent fit ;)
cingrats, think the price was quite reasonable for the condition, actually.
make sure to get a correct OEM mesh for the SOC, worth it

I am excited about getting it. Because I asked for photos of the movement and then decided to buy it, I have delayed the shipping by a few days.

Is this an appropriate bracelet for it?

Ok, I have to quit looking at this site, I am out of money. Joking aside, I appreciate everyone's input and commentary and am looking forward to my new old watch. My wife asked me if I was now going to chase watches like I do knives and guns, and I had to reassure her that I'm not. We'll see. I might have some knives and guns for sale....

You will.

More watches and less guns isn't a bad thing. 8)
