Ok, I can only get one of these. I need some help to make of my mind. All are about the same price, but I can only get 1 of the 3 that I have found. Your input would help out a lot! The Steelfish is my own watch, but my friend has the other 2 and has put 1 of them on the table to trade for my Steelfish. So the question is keep or trade. All are pretty cool!

First is a Breitling Steelfish. 95% with everything and in great condition!

Second is a Omega SMP Chrono. I do have a thing for 7750's! This one may need a new Bezel as it is dinged up a bit, but over all not bad. Has B & P.
Image

And third is a Tag Heuer Carrera Chrono. This is a very cool watch, but no B & P. One of the higher end Tag Heuer I think.
Image

I do think they all work just as well as what they are made for. I also think it will just come down to what I like the best, but I would value your ideas on this!

Thanks!

Obviously it's all personal, so... personally I'd go with the Omega. I've never really liked Tags; too ubiquitous for me. I love the SOSF (and own one). But i think the Omega is the pick here. Great size, has a chrono feature and a cool style.

1) Omega
2) Steelfish
3) Keep the money (not Tag bashing, just not that Tag)

No contest. Keep the 'Fish. It's a classic.

I'd keep the Steelfish but you can't go wrong with the Omega. Good luck.

Each to their own of course, but you did ask for opinions.........
The fantastic weight and substantial nature of the 'fish is what makes it one of my favourites. I'd be happy with it and keep it.

I'm not a fan of the Omega wave dial. Even so, it's what I would choose.

Thank you everyone for your honest answers! The Tag, although nice was never really in the running. The Omega is a nice watch, but I don't like the idea of having to put on a new Bezel. My buddy did put in another 2 choices as he really wants my fish! A LNIB Ball Hydrocarbon GMT or a 95% Omega 2254.50 with again no B & P. My thought is why trade a beautiful watch like my fish for one that needs a few things like a Bezel or box set. I think my fish is very Happy where it is for the time being unless he has a Superocean Abyss on a Bracelet! lol! Thanks again everyone for your input!!

In that case I would take the Seamaster. You won't get any good Omega Chronograph for that pricing anymore in the future!

If you really want to change, I'd take Omega.
If not, keep the fish, great value for the money.

Very good point! The SMP Chronos I have seen were more than the Steelfish(not by much). I just don't like the Idea of that new Bezel as it has some dings around the 30 marks. I would be afraid to see what a new one would cost, but may check just for fun!
