Hi everyone, new to the forum. Just wondering weather the bezel on the Steelfish was brushed or had a polished finished. Am i right in thinking that Superocean steel braclet is all polised. Im interested in one of the above, but wondered which one had more bling! Thanks guys |

Welcome aboard. SF has a brushed bezel, case and the bracelet. SO has brushed bezel, but case and the bracelet are polished and it has more bling. |

As Bnewbie said, but it's the top surfaces that are brushed on the SF. The vertical edges of the bezel and case are polished. |

I was actually deciding between the Superocean and Steelfish for my first Breitling and have ended up picking the Superocean. I went that way for a few reasons, including the all-polished look over the SF. I also wasn't a huge fan of the luminescent dots on the SF - I thought it made the dial look more crowded compared to the SO (which is also the reason I like the new SO dial more than previous years'). Either way you go though they're both wonderful watches. If you're interested keep an eye on the forums later tonight as I hope to post some wrist shots of my new SO after I pick it up after work. As far as I know I haven't seen any other wrist shots of the SO with the new '09 dial around here. |

Thanks guys. I look forward to your pics of the 09' dial. I was dead set on the SF, but i want the shine! SO is 42mm, which also means, less presence. Could i put the SO braclet (more bling) onto the SF?? or will that look soo wrong? |

I will say, that if you are not completely happy with either, just get some more cash together and get something that meets all of your criteria. I started with a colt...thought it was too small... bought a steelfish...wanted something polished... Bought a skyland...now im happy... |
