First Lux Watch & Breitling - Superocean II 44 Black!
I just received my new Breitling Superocean II 44 Black just yesterday. This is my first luxury watch purchase after owning Movado, Timex, Uniform Wares in the past. I did a lot of research and wanted a dive watch. Initially, I purchased a new Tudor Pelagos from a seller here and the watch had a faulty in-house movement.

The watch is stunning. It's black and its beautiful. It's shiny, but only when its reflecting light (I'm sure at the boutique, under all those lights it must really dazzle and shine, but under normal lighting and outdoors, it is perfectly balanced.)

It is expected that the bezel will be an optional 1 for 1 exchange for all Rolex sports watches except the Daytona. Rolex anticipates that most clients on waiting lists will choose to have this bezel installed rather than the standard bezel due to the amazing design.Rolex executives, according to my inside source, are patting themselves on the back for this innovative concept and having the resources to make it a reality.Here is a sneak peak look at it. Don't be jealous that I have this inside information
