I have been lurking here for a few months as I own a Breitling B-1. I used to be enlisted aircrew in the U.S. Air Force, one of the C130 pilots had a B-1 and he introduced me to the brand.
I have been interested in the new Superocean since its appearance at Basel this year but the recent flood of pictures on this forum pushed me over the edge and I contacted George. Well, he just happened to have the red one in stock and I couldn't be happier. I own a Rolex Sea Dweller and a Panerai 24 also. For me, 42 mm is absolutely perfect. I ordered both the bracelet and rubber strap. The bracelet is leaps and bounds better than my B1 band, I love how the cut angles in it reflect the sun like a disco ball. The rubber band is extremely nice too for when I want to tone the watch down. I chose the red because I am currently attending college at Texas A&M and the watch perfectly matches the school colors, it's more of a burgundy.
I am not much of a photographer but here are a few pics.

Congratulations! I think that color combo is the nicest one I have seen so far on the SO II. Glad you had a great buying experience.

Very nice, I've been waiting to see some pics of the red one. Your cat seems to like it also.
