Hello, everyone.

I picked up a SOCII yesterday. So far, I like it a lot! It's much nicer in the metal than in pictures but since this post would be worthless without them, here are few:

Very nice. I think I prefer that to the PO Chrono!
Wear it in good health.

Many Congratulations.

The new SOC 44 is a superb watch.

I like your choice of having the details in Breitling's corporate colours.

For me, the color was never really in question. In addition to being the Breitling-color it somehow seems to give the watch a more matter-of-fact look than red or blue, despite being the color with the most pop.

Another thing about this piece is that it seems massive! It really is more hefty than the impression you get from pictures.
Nice and beefy :lingsrock:

And I also kind of like feeling the good old "Valjoux-wobble" again :wink: Although it isn't as noticable as with other 7750-watches I've owned or tried.

If only she had a day/date this watch would be amazing! still, nice piece sans day/date but I just think if they kept that feature it would be a lot more "complete"

That's very nice groucho, congrats.

From the "new" Breitlings it's the one I prefer most. Dial color included. :wink:

Nice watch. I tried one on and it wore really well. It had a nice sporty look to it.

Ironic, I was going to post about my trip to my AD today and trying on that same watch. Congratulations, I had to leave before i did something that would put me sleeping in my van. Just bought a S&W M&P45 so my free cash is a bit depleted, got a S&W Bodyguard also. Well, maybe later this year. Anyway, you have a beautiful watch there and I wish you many years of enjoyment with it.
Best health, Frank.

I like it and it sits great on your wrist. Like you said, it must look even better in person. The pics simply don't do it justice. Congrats!
