    You're talking about the Superocean Heritage? I almost bought one today, ended up going an entirely different route (more to post later...) The SOH is very nice. Alas, the 46mm was a bit too big, the 42mm too small, and the 44mm only comes in a chrono; the chrono had pushers that were too long, and at $6k was out of my budget...

    But the SOH is a cool watch, love the mesh bracelet. I was looking at the white dial/black bezel. FYI, best price from an AD I was offered was $3600 out the door. Came close, bought a Longines instead.

    It works perfectly for Heritage.
    I am usually not fan of mesh bracelet but honestly, it has turn hate to love. Which is rare for me.

    It is a classic but very versatile watch. Only other choice I would take is the planet ocean.
    Current collection: Oris F1 <<-- used to be daily wear, but now in winder
    Ball Engineer II Diver <-- wear on occassions
    Seiko Sumo <--- just nice to have a Japanese watch in the collection

    Beautiful watch and I love the mesh.. but the green bezel simply doesn't do it for me, makes me think 50th Anniversary Submariner. I'd go with the black bezel instead

    I saw the one in Switzerland in a window last week. I have to say its the only Breitling that I like. Previously I thought they were far too bling ...only designed for Russians (no offence) but this watch on mesh is bling with some class, thumbs up from me. The retro white/cream dial with black is very nice.

    I personally love it, I am looking for something New, Big, Expen$ive and Green!

    I think it would be an excellent purchase if you could find it at the 4-5k mark. and yea, the Retro white/cream - Black is very easy on the eyes..
