I received my Breitling Superocean II a few days ago and am in love with this watch. It looks and feels perfect! The narrow lug with and ocean racer strap fits my wrist really nicely (my wrist is just under 6 1/2 inches). The lume is by far the best I've ever seen. I couldn't be happier with this purchase!

Awesome watch bud!!! I had the same one on order with the ocean racer strap ,and cancelled it yesterday. I had waited 7 weeks ,and wasn't gonna be getting it for another 5 weeks. 3 months is too long of a wait for me. This watch will be mine in a few months. Are you in the states? I don't believe there is anyone with the black/black abyss in the states.

Yes, I'm in the USA. I ordered it directly from Breitling USA who had to get it shipped from Switzerland.

This looks like a great everyday piece, with the middle of the road size and thickness! Enjoy!

I also love the adjustable Ocean Racer clasp. I'm pretty fussy about the tightness of my watches and the swelling in my wrist can make my watch really tight in the heat outside and then really loose in the AC of the office. With this clasp, I can easily make small adjustments to the tightness. It's easy to move a pin with a simple toothpick, but this is even easier.

Congrats on the pickup!

To all interested, there is a black one available at a local Dallas AD. PM me if you want the contact info, the sales rep called me today saying it just arrived.

That's weird. I just saw a black one in my AD's display case last week. Up for grabs at the time, usually gives 20% off. Don't mean to stir up your situation but with them coming in to ADs, didn't think they would be so hard to find. :?:

I was at 2 ADs in NYC and neither had one. One told me they could probably get one from another store in a few weeks, however they had a huge back lit poster of the watch on the wall.

I have to say when I first saw this watch I was not a fan at all, but the more I see it...the more I like it. I think you guys are just wearing me down.

By the way...went to the AD last Friday and they have 3 of them. I must say that it looks much better in person (that seems to be the case with most all Breitlings).

I finished building my tripod camera slider with video head and made a quick video to test. I decided to use my new Superocean as the test subject:
