Anyone have the new superocean 44 on steel bracelet? Want opinions on the watch cause I really like the 44 since I have a big wrist. Well made? Any input is appreciated. Thanks

I owned this for about two weeks, rubber strap though...

It's very well made and a great piece overall, but it is just too big, very tall and it hardly fits under any shirt and that was a major drawback for me as I wear long sleeves most of the time.

So I had to let it go.

I owned a Superocean Heritage 46mm in the past and I never had that problem, in case you wear long sleeves too.

Then go for it, you won't regret it.

It's massive, but try it on first as I suspect it will be very heavy on the SS bracelet, I wore it with Nato straps most of the time and it was still on the heavy side.

Lume is also among the best:

I think that is my next watch.

Love mine. It is big, very big, but i got use to it. I have worn it daily since i got it and it hase been knocked into everything and shows min wear. Keeps great time and feels good on the wrist after a while. I would recommend that you get one, it is a very sporty dive watch and is a great daily watch !

I recently tried one on at an AD, and thought they were very well built. It is a tall watch though, so be prepared for it to not fit under your shirt cuffs. I really liked the rubber bezel insert too.

I absolutely love this watch. Lots of wrist present and definitely not meant to worn with dress shirt. Great construction with everything brushed. Like someone mentioned above the lume is amazing and the bezel's rubber insert is fantastic.

This is mine.

If you get a chance to see one on the new Professional III bracelet, try it on. I've seen them, and they're spectacular.

I found a great deal on a SO with yellow second hand. These post help me with daily wearability questions I had. Hope to join the SO club soon
