I was at a couple of AD's today wanting to compare the SOH and SOHC. I tried on both and will eventualy get the blue SOHC. I didn't think I wanted another watch with the crono feature but the SOHC looked and felt so much better than the SOH. The SOHC wasn't that much heavier than the SOH but heavy enough to make a difference. I didn't think I was going to like the bracelet but it was very nice, plus it's so much different than anything else. I also tried on a few new B01's. I tried a blue face black subs with the rubber strap...I didn't like it at all. The blue was really dark almost drowning out the black subs. I thought the B01 wears smaller than my Chronomat probably because the bezel is a bit wider which takes away from the face. After trying it on as well as the black face with the bracelet.....I was sadly disappointed! That's O.K though because now I know I'm definately going to get the blue SOHC :D :D :lingsrock: Oh I also tried on the Navi World....That watch wears BIG!!! I was surprise at how much bigger it wore than the SOHC. It's amazing how much a bezel or lack there of can change the look of a watch. I liked it but it looked too big on my wrist!!!

When I went to try on some Breitlings the B01 wasn't even on my list....mine should be delivered today, to each their own.

I dont think the SOH wears any smaller than the World....

The Blue SOHC LE is really nice, to me at least. I've had both the SOH and the SOHC and now this one and I think this LE is the nicest one from the 3...
But hey, thats just me :wink:

It's not that I don't like the B01, I thought it was going to be different. The navi world looked bigger than the SOHC on my wrist. Both watches are great...I was interested in the Navi world until I tried it on, it's still a gorgeous timepiece...unfortunately not for my wrist. The SA will smurf the majority of watches out there!!!! :lingsrock:
