Hey everybody!

I just had to post that I've got my first Breitling on the way, going to be picking it up tomorrow after work! I got engaged this past July and in her infinite kindness my fiance decided that I was deserving of something of my own. My older brother has a Chronomat Evolution (gray dial w/ black subs) that he got a couple years ago so I started looking at Breitlings first. To put a long search quickly I'll be picking up a brand new Superocean (blue dial) tomorrow! :mrgreen:

I'm going to be bouncing off the walls here at work until I get it I think.

:lingsrock:

Oh but of course! I was planning to wait until I had it in hand with pics before I posted anything, but I'm way too excited for that, lol.

FINALLY!

After two weeks in the field and over 100 hours worked in 10 days I got enough of a breather to throw up the requisite pics so enjoy!

Needless to say I am freaking loving it! :lingsrock:

I do have one request of the Breitling Source people - I'm strongly considering picking up a Diver Pro strap for it but I have pretty thin wrists and I want to be sure that it won't wrap around itself too much. Would anyone who has a 20mm Diver Pro be so kind as to post just how long it is exactly? That way I can simply go use a tape measure and see for myself. Thanks!

Thanks! :-)

That raises another question though - I've seen in various places online the length of the strap listed at 7", which is significantly shorter than 200mm. Is it just a difference of measuring points or are there new/old versions? Just trying to get this figured out since I can't find a definitive Breitling answer anywhere I look unforunately.

They've been marked in mm for as long as I can recall, don't think I've ever seen one marked in inches.
