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 :wowzers :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

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 :lol:

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... :wink:

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 :thumbsup: :breitling1 :cigar:

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!

Nice score on the display and the watch! The Steelfish definately is one of the best bang for buck watches in the Ling lineup. :lingsrock:

I have the older yellow display with metal airplanes on it.. yours is the newer one.. I need one of those too!!!!
