Hey guys,
I got my first Breitling about a week ago, a Superocean. I only got around to taking photos of it today, so it's already got a few surface scratches on the polished finish. It's the older style Superocean, which I was thrilled to find still available (I don't really like the 2009 model).

Anyways, enjoy! :-)

Hmmm my pictures don't seem to be working. Maybe someone else can post for me? I think I don't have enough posts... :(

I edited your post and they now show - you just have to lose the descriptive tags after the .jpg extension.

I like the newer style the most, but the older style that you have with the newer bezel looks great too.

Congratulations! I had a SuperOcean for over 10 years, and the thing hardly ever left my wrist. It was an old friend. I actually didn't even get it serviced until after 10 years, although I will never let a Breitling go that long again. I now have a Steelfish on my wrist every day, which I am enjoying equally as well.
I certainly hope that you get as much pleasure out of yours, as I did mine.
Cheers,
Carl

Im with Carl on this, the SuperOcean is a great daily wearer. It can go from a day at the beach, to a night on the town, to an afternoon at the office. Very versatile. The rugged yet the polished look allows it to dress up nicely too. Good choice, you are sure to love it.

Great pics and watch - congratulations!

Here's also another vote for the old dial - I prefer the filled numbers over the hollow ones.
