Greetings,

Could not help but pick up a another breitling (2nd within a month). Picked up a SS Steelfish blue dial on SS Pro 2 the other day. Also picked up a blue OR strap.

Steelfish wears small for a 44mm watch. I must say, after wearing the SA, other watches look like kiddie watches on the wrist:) I have a watches in the 40-42mm range that get very minimal wrist time, however really like the feel of this watch and the finsh of the case and bezel are superb. love the brushed finish as well (not having to go crazy buffing the finger prints). It was either the Seawolf or Steelfish. decided against the seawolf due to the numbers being white rather then the polished steel like on the SA, although would have prefered the size of the SW. would have loved the 159g weight as well....

I think I may have just convinced myself to add the Seawolf as well :wowzers :shock:

Will try and post some pic's this weekend.

Blue steelfish is a great watch. I have the same. I also have the SS Seawolf. Pretty big difference in weight and wear.

Great pics! The OR strap is one of my favorite rubber straps. And that deployant is simply killer. I'm sure that bracelet won't come out of the plastic packaging any time soon :lol:

Thanks Guys... yes the OR is super comfortable, feels great the the quick adjustment on the deployment is priceless. As the the SS bracelet, i bought the watch with that, however wanted to try the OR, so went through the painful sizing and put this baby on... will likely rotate every couple weeks just to change it up... but I just love the casual look with it on. seems to fit the Steelfish really well.. :bow: :bow: :bow: :lingsrock:

Interesting. The 8's in your 1884 are slightly different than mine. Your's have the top of the 8 as smaller as the bottom, and on mine they're pretty much the same width. I wonder if breitling changes little stuff like that depending on the year it's manufactured. The N in superocean looks a little different too. Maybe it's like the secutiy marks on dollar bills... sneaky.

Very nice!!!

The box that I got with my SA has the propeller on it and not all the little planes. How did you get the hat? My AD said that they would send me one, but would love to have walked out with one!

Again, very nice! I might pick up a Steelfish one of these days.

The box with the little planes is the new Box Breitling is now using. Both my SA and the Steelfish have this box. As for the hat, the AD in Canada stocks them i guess, as this is the second one they gave me. Wish they would give me something else next time:) if the US, BUSA may send you one in the mail.

cheers,
