Just curious what Breitling you guys would recommend for everyday use...I really like the Avenger Skyland, but for everyday use might be too much watch....So I was thinking about the Super Ocean Steelfish...between these 2 any suggestions? Or maybe there is a different model you would recommend. Thanks!! |

There really isn't any Breitling you couldn't wear every day. For appearance, something brushed will show less wear than something polished. A rubber strap or steel bracelet will show less wear than a leather or croco strap. Something with a quartz movement will be less susceptible to damage than something with a mechanical movement. Weight and diameter of the watch may also be a factor. Most people consider a 40mm watch to be small these days but it's more comfortable and lighter than something 45mm. Your best bet is to head to your local AD and just try on a bunch and see what appeals to you. Everyone has different preferences and while some people may be fine with a Super Avenger every day, others may prefer a Colt Quartz. Either way, enjoy the process! -Henry |

The Steelfish has got my vote. I wear mine almost every day, and it just seems to fit into any situation I encounter. It's truly a utilitarian watch, ready to go with you anywhere...a trustworthy companion you can depend on.  Steve |

Another vote for the Steelfish. Very versatile watch. |

Steelfish is my choice, but I'm biased with two of them. |

Having owned 3 of them, I'd probably go with the Steelfish too. Chunky, but still fits under a shirtsleeve. No worries about water resistance, so swimming is fine. Sporty, but dressy at the same time. No chronograph push-pieces to get damaged if you're a little rough with it. It's even half polished and half brushed, so you don't even have to think which finish to get!  It's just a great utilitarian watch. |

With all of the recommendations for the Steelfish, I believe Altair has one up for sale in the FS section here. Maybe two Ling members help eachother out!

I´d say Steelfish too for a non chrono, but you were right on the money with Avenger Skyland for a chrono. |

If I could only have one as a every day watch it would certainly have to be the Super Ocean... |
