My wife surprised me for my birthday a couple of weeks ago with a new toy - my first Breitling, the Super Ocean Heritage 46 on a mesh bracelet:

Thanks to the forums here I found the instructions on how to shorten the bracelet to fit and couldn't be happier with the dressiness of the mesh.

But I did immediately add the croc strap for a more casual look:

I've only had it now two weeks, but loving the weight, the feel and the look.

Very nice, but I personally think the strap makes it look more formal rather than casual. The mesh looks casual to me. Like the strap look on that watch much better.

I like the Superocean a lot, I think it looks great on croc and mesh. Nice pic up!

Looks good on the croc.

Thinking to get the oem croc strap myself. Can you tell me if the finish of the strap is glossy/shiny?

It's definitely not a matte finish, but not glossy like a pair of wingtips or patent leather shoes - you can see it does reflect some light, but it's not shiny.

I have the same watch and in fact wearing it as I type. The mesh is a great look but so is the OEM rubber strap (with the three holes on the sides). It is super comfortable and has a great micro-adjusting clasp. Would highly recommend even over the croc strap if you are looking for a totally new look for the watch.

+1 on the Ocean Racer. The most comfortable strap I've ever worn. The micro adjustments on the clasp version are great.

That does look nice - guess I have to add that to the list too!
