Breitling Superocean II 42 - any owners?
I really like the look of this watch, and since it is slightly less expensive than popular divers like the Omega Seamaster and Tudor Pelagos, I'm surprised at how few reviews I can find about it. I would love to hear what you guys think about this watch. Thanks

112 Reserve Question
Would appreciate thoughts on the following: I bought a BNIB 112 this past Friday. I gave the crown 30 full winds Friday evening, and the watch stopped by about 1:00 PM the next day. Saturday evening, I gave the crown a full winding, to the point where I felt resistance in the crown. Sunday afternoon, I gave the crown a few additional winds. The watch stopped at approximately 2:00 AM Monday morning. I though a full winding would give me 48-72 hours. Should I be concerned? Take it back to the AD?
