Post subject: | Going nuts here over Steefish. |
My Ad asked me to hold out on the other guy and give hi a couple of days, as usual he comes through. found me a Steelfish on bracelet for less than what the other guy was charging for it on leather ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I wanted an everyday brushed watch that was on the simpler side IE no chrono and with a white or black dial. My choices were between the Omega Seamaster and the Breitling Steelfish for around 1900USD (my limit). Decided to go with the Breitling simply because I like the design better and I did have and sell a Seamaster before. Now that it is on my wrist I dont know why I even considered the Omega. The Breitling blows it away completely!!! Here is what i really love about it: 1- Best damn sapphire crystal I have ever seen. All Breitlings have amazingly good crystals, feels like I can reach in and play with the hands. 2- The case is beautifully formed and feels like it can take a beating and still look good. reminds me of Rolex in that regard. 3- Best bracelet in this price range. a bit lighter and not as solidly built as the Speed or Pro bracelets, but still excellent. 4- The off white cream dial turns silver in certain lighting and is absolutely dazzling. 5-Attention to detail displayed here in the applied logo, indices,0 bezel etc simply cant be had at this price range. Just fantastic. 6- One of the best lume performance I have seen. 7- Extremely comfy to wear, the lug to lug case design forms nicely on wrist. 8- It's design is unique and interesting to me with that busy-yet-not-cluttered dial. Gorgeous!!! I have gotten as many compliments on it, and enjoy it as much, as my other higher end Breitlings, Rolxs, and Panerai. So glad I got it!!!! Sorry about the pic quality on some of these, but I was in a hurry at the time of the unboxing: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Now here is a little surprise, I mentioned to my Ad that my Panerai Ad had been kind enough to through in a genuine Panerai stand and he told me he had an extra one that I could have. Hey Admin your not the only guy with a cool stand anymore ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() check out that raised logo ![]() |

Congrats on the new Steelfish! Even at the newer prices of $2,945 with a steel bracelet, it's still a bargain compared to others in its class... ![]() |

Thanks guys!!! acceldebt wrote: Altair,
Which aged cigar is best while wearing the Steelfish ? You know I have developed a habit of smoking a cigar that resebles the charactaristics of the latest watch I buy. I though the Romeo Tubos compared to the Steelfish, great value, well made and very satisfying ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Altair, Sounds great, I'm wearing the Bentley today so I'm going to go out in the sun and have Cohiba Maduro and watch the diamond bezel sparkle |

A beauty! I've got the black dial, and the beauty of it never ceases to amaze me. I love the Bentley 6.75, best of the Bentleys. That silver dial on the Steelfish looks great, it actually seems to suit the steel bracelet better than the black. Cheers, Carl |

It felt like I could reach through my computer screen and play with the hands in the watch! Great clear / closeup shots! And you have a authentic display case as well! --Mark |

Nice score on the display and the watch! The Steelfish definately is one of the best bang for buck watches in the Ling lineup. ![]() I have the older yellow display with metal airplanes on it.. yours is the newer one.. I need one of those too!!!! |
