At 36 millimeters, the Breitling Superocean II 36 is designed to fit comfortably on any wrist. But for its small stature, it certainly packs a punch Read More

I really wish I could get a firm yes or no on whether a watch from this drop's warranty would be datestamped for a time of purchase that corresponds to me buying it. Even well built automatics break, and if there's a defect in workmanship it can rear its head pretty much right away.

Wish this would come back early next year. Can't pull the trigger now but have been wanting a Breitling that's smaller than 42mm.

To be honest.. I can't even like the 40mm on my wrist.. and it is not that big.. 36 would be way too small.. (There is no reason for me to overcompensate for whatever you could think so.. your guess is quite unbacked. My better half agrees with my taste fully.. she asked me to sell the last 40mm watch I bought for myself.. looks odd to both of us.) I wouldn't so easily stamp those who like bigger watches as people with no style/taste.. doesn't speak too good of you, SockPuppy..

Small watch just does not look right on tall/muscular men. However if you are neither of those, you can at least say you have a good taste. To each his own, I guess.

36 is way too small i am used to my Black bird which is 47 it even makes my pm24 feel small

ShaBamm911How about a 57mm watch? Perhaps 67mm? I heard you can pick up a surplus pie plate and add a miyota movement. Would that still be too small for you?

Yes! Finally! Showing some appreciation for the 36mm watch! I don't why many of the 36mm men's watches are not prominent today. These watches are clean, classy, elegant, and super underrated! I'm a college undergraduate on a frugal budget and I oblivious won't be buying this now, but down the road, I would love purchase a beautiful time piece as an accomplishment for providing significant value in the world! - LTE

Stamped warranty card does not have a date of purchase, based off the last Breitling watch I bought, which may not qualify as a warranty. One of the buyers from the other MD Breitling drop had his stamped warranty card disregarded by Brietling as it didn't have the date of purchase on the so called stamped warranty card and had to shell out ~$600 on repairs. So beware or confirm with MD about the date of purchase on the card.

I agree with you, but the question remains, as if you take any new watch under warranty and it gets treated as a water issue, no warranty will cover it... I don't care if Massdrop is buying from and AD or not, but to know where that 700 usd charge came from.

NachosanmaAs I recall, the watch worked out of the box and later stopped. So water could have damaged the watch subsequent to purchase, i.e., the old handwashing/walking in a light rain/sweat issue, but with a screw-down crown, I can't see water being involved in any damage requiring repair. So the whole story is vaguely unsatisfying.
And rust takes quite a while to develop. I've seen a watch repair reality show here in Japan involving a rusty stem, and it obviously was decades in the making. Quite amazing how it was repaired: micro lathing, filing, and heat hardening of a stem, redesigned to fit in a larger, drilled out case hole, and drilling out and acid desolving of the remains inside the crown, which was reused. I got the feeling that the television producers paid for the whole thing, and in the normal course of events a repairman would have recommended just swapping in a movement form a donor watch.
At any rate, I wouldn't expect any sort of warranty here beyond watches that Massdrop covers, and there only in the first month or so. And I wonder about the value of a warranty on a watch that requires reqular service costing hundreds of dollars. By not bothering with warranty coverage you can bank the savings and use it to fund the repair of the occasional bad luck watch. It's the same thing as with "extended warranties" on electronic equipment.

For many Swiss brands, 36mm is considered the women's size. 🚺

Hilarious that you're clearly the one projecting - associating watch size with masculinity.

NikoToscaniReread, closely, the first sentence in that Wikipedia article. Projection is a specifically defined term of art in psychcology. I may be all kinds of bad or unsavory or sorry things based on what I've written here. But I haven't projected. Only you have done that. Projection requires attribution to others. My faults probably lie more in the direction of the Dark Triad:

The 36mm case size--for me that's just a matter of taste and also wrist/arm size/bone structure. I use a cheap metric tape measure to get an idea of fit--case and lug to lug measurements, also the lug width and buckle width when I switch out straps, which I do fairly often. I have switched around the strap/bracelet on a Brietling I own because I am "in between lengths" of the metal bracelet--taking a length out of the bracelet makes it too tight, but having the length in the bracelet makes it too loose. Happens to be the same bracelet that is on this watch--and if you want the Breitling OEM leather strap (black/brown/blue with white stitching) it is expensive.

Yes, my between link situation includes fooling around with the micro adjustments. The real issue is me--I am fussy about how my watch bracelets and straps fit, and also fussy about the colors/leathers used in straps. What is neat is that different bracelet/straps give an entirely different look to a watch--it's almost like getting a new watch. Thanks for the suggestion, I think I will just put the black strap on. Cheers.

dholik8503Yeah i hear you. Sometimes it doesn't sit right on your wrist or kinda feels strange/awkward on the wrist.

I have a work colleague who wears a Breitling. His watch looks to be about 50mm. I bet this watch is tiny.

Personally, I like the bigger watches, on account of me having 8 in wrists.

Lennart_KI have an 8 inch wrist and won't wear anything over 42mm. Anything more is just sad, fragile masculinity at work and transparent overcompensating.
