I truly believe this is a Breitling that is best appreciated in person than in pictures.

That's a classic you've got there Alex. I'm predicting you may experience some difficulties taking it off. :wink:

Enjoy it my friend, very nice pick-up.

Thanks for the comments gents

! Indeed, I am having a hard time not having it on my wrist. I feel bad for the Navitimer now

For those of you with bigger collections I can now understand why some pieces don't get wrist time with so many good choices to select from. I agree that the CSO looks great on every strap/bracelet out there and I am really looking forward to changing things up this coming summer! Here are two quick pictures of the Navi and CSO together

Sorry I'm late to the party, Alex. I'm glad it finally came in. You've got a couple classics there. I'm pleasantly surprised by how good the CSO looks on rubber. I've resisted going with rubber, because it seems so "down scale" to have rubber on a fine watch. But pics like these just might win me over.

Nice pair, is that a photo of your "Fertility God" with your watches. I told you they tend to multiply.
Best health, Frank.

I just picked up my Chrono Superocean on the diver pro II strap with deployant. I have to say that this model is awesome and the pictures barely do it justice. I am so thrilled I got the chance to snag this CSO new after the discontinuation of the model. I truly believe this is a Breitling that is best appreciated in person than in pictures. We all know of watches that look great in pics but in real life they somehow leave something to be desired, kind of fall short of expectations. Well, the CSO is the opposite, I am amazed at the detail of the dial and my poor pictures simply don't do it justice. This is a piece that sincerely has to be enjoyed in person. Phenomenal watch, period. Good news as well, my SO will be back from its overhaul next Thursday or Friday. Easter holiday has been good to me. Once I get the SO back, I will make some pics for you guys with the whole gang! Here are a few quick pics of the new CSO. EDIT: another pics from earlier in the night before the day/date change:

Congrats!! A great pick up. Looks smashing on rubber, leather, and ProII. I predict options will enter your life soon.

I was at the AD today trying out a lot of different Breitlings and put on your watch with the Pro II. Absolutely classic look and beautiful proportions, despite being on the smaller end of the Aeromarine line. I understand why so many on this board are so passionate about these.

Beautiful!! Congrats on a fantastic pick up...looks great on the DPII, ProII, croco, and calf. A very versatile watch indeed. Sure wish they had not discontinued this one. It's funny how much I appreciate some of these models now that they are no longer in production.

Awesome pick up. Such a functional watch, but looks great at the same time.

I'm telling you man, this watch looks terrific on a DPII rubber/deploy, brown or black croco or calf, and the Pro II bracelet. I took mine off rubber and put it back on the Pro II Friday evening and it is still on my wrist. That NEVER happens.
