After the obvious dissapointment of most members when they saw Frank's Gallery post entitled TransOcean, and it didn't have a TransOcean in it (although your Navitimer picture was wonderful, Frank), I hope I can make up for it with a few left over pictures I have from a near-future mini-review I will be doing. This stunning TransOcean was generously leant by our sponsors Andrew Michaels Jewellers.

Looks AMAZING.

Love the watch, hate the mesh. I love Omega mesh but I'm not a fan of Breitlings at all. That watch on leather or maybe even rubber would be superb.

Nice look--a lot of dial. I also like the style of the calendar wheel numbers.

I really like it, thanks Ricardo. I have to agree though, even though I like the mesh bracelet I think something plain would suite the look of the watch a lot better!

Thanks for sharing.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Chronomat 01 Pilot bracelet would fit as it has straight endlinks like the mesh. However, I did a quick mock up in Photoshop and it looked rubbish.

If you don't like the mesh, then I think this watch is limited to straps.

Just wait until you see th TransOcean in the flesh Mr Sonyman.

The silvered dial is simply stunning. These pictures are miles off conveying how beautiful this watch really is.

Sorry about that Frank.

But surely you must appreciate everyone's dissapointment when they were expecting pictures of this fantastic and rarely seen timepiece.

All versions are also available on Barenia leather and Crocodile leather.

I think the crocodile in black would be the best option for this model. It would emphasize the gorgeous dial even more.

However, I have to say I don't mind the Ocean Classic mesh bracelet.
