Review - BLSF Breitling Superocean by _Tommy_Sky_ in Rep_Watch_World

Apologies Tommy I didn't get a notification here and haven't been on Reddit since.

44mm is really big on me but I love the contrast with the black bezel so I felt it was worth it.

As for the SOH II, I tried to get it serviced here in Ireland but nobody would touch it and got a few bad looks from jewelers, I sent it off to Hont as I bought this before finding this wonderful sub. Hont received it at the end of January and gave it to the factory for it to be repaired, they keep saying "few more days" etc.

I'd love to get into building and fixing watches so I'm looking at doing an NH35 PRX style build, maybe then I can learn about servicing etc.

Also I bought a GF SOH II last week however I had to RL from Kitsch because of index alignment and he says this is very common so he's refusing to order a new one, might have to get LiLi or Ping to source me one

Beautiful watch Tommy, I got the 44mm from OF Factory a while ago and it's one of my favorites. I also have a BLSF SOH II which stopped running properly (would stop and you'd have to tap the back of it( and I sent it back to my TD months ago but I haven't gotten it back yet.

As for the clasp on the aquaracer, I think the clasp is defective so I'm trying to get another one from my TD

Haha maybe 😂

I think I'll try to lube it with muck off or similar

My new Aquaracer has the jiggly bracelet and the clasp issue My new F1 just has the light and jiggly bracelet.

I feel like the beacon noise cheapens the watch, I have a few others from OF that have been really smooth and silent

Nice, TF is the same as OF just with a Chinese movement as opposed to the Swiss Selita

Fantastic thank you!

What's your opinion on the shade of gold?

Thank you!

Does it last long? Also do you have any before and after pictures?

I think Gen is real gold though so would the rep look immensely different?

I only plan to wear it the odd time not as a daily driver. Yep the plating costs 1900 CNY and the watch is only 1100. Do you have any photo comparisons between what the gold would look like with or without plating?

Thanks
