Decided to go and have a look around the shops today, and came home with a SOH! I was looking at either the SOH or the B&R 01-92. I tried them both on and the B&R just didn't feel right nor look right. There was just something about it that I couldn't put my finger on but told me not to buy it and go with the SOH.

I'll go and take some photos now :)

As before, excuse my shirts in the background and the quality of the photos...

Love the SOH - especially black dial! I really like all 3 colours, but to me the black really stands out. The OR strap looks great, too. Thinking of a mesh bracelet as well later? It looks great with both, but when you put on a mesh bracelet it suddenly becomes dressier.
Cheers,
Carl

Congrats on the purchase Sav, wear it in good health. A croc strap would look nice on that as well as the mesh.

Cheers guys. The first time I saw the SOH it had a mesh bracelet on it (on some website) and I thought it looked terrible to be honest, like something from a Christmas cracker.

Might investigate the croc though.......

Nice pick up Sav - and a great contrast to the Herc.

Croco works a treat with the SOH - in fact that'd be my first choice, but the black OR would be my close second. (And it's no secret that I'm not exactly the biggest fan of the mesh!)

Very nice pick-up. :thumbsup:
