Glad I went with the Pro II and the DPII.

I must say I find all the pre-release fussing and hemming and hawing not at all consistent with the actual watch. It's a nice, solid watch. Good size, very readable. And a splash of color and - God Forbid - rubber makes for a pleasing change of pace.

Great pick up, I always liked the Vitesse type numerals, and that contrasting yellow ring with the dial is really eye catching, although for some reason it makes me think of the Pittsburgh Steelers! :lol:

Awesome Superocean Sharkman, congrats! Would like to see one in person myself, might be my next Ling!

Oh, and that Breguet is fantastic as well! Saw one going on TZ for a steal a while ago. I wish I could wear 39mm watches, but my gorilla wrists mean I have to stick to larger watches!

Very nice Shark. But I'm afraid your Steelfishes will get less wrist time now :wink:

Never sell the Fishies. They are what attracted me to Breitling in the first instance. :lingsrock:

I feel exactly the same way about my SOII. It is what it is, and that is a welcome change from other watches ive owned. Its very casual, legible, robust, reasonably sized...you sort of just "throw it on". Congrats.

Well done on your purchase! That's a gorgeous striking yellow on your Superocean II. I even think it's better than all black! Impulse is good, that is a stunning!
