I recently returned from a sunny dive vacation in Grand Cayman. I have heard of some people having difficulty with their watches leaking at recreational dive depths around 100 ft. I just thought I'd share with the forum that my Superocean Steelfish (black dial) performed flawlessly. It was very easy to read and set the bezel to properly time the dives. As a matter of fact, I kept track of our groups bottom time with my Breitling. That's all I have to say. The watch performed as expected and not a single leak as reported by some.
I also took a good look around the jewellry store (Kirk Freeport) Breitling display. I looked at zenith, rolex, omega etc. and still love my Breitling more.

It did. But if you look there's posts on this forum with leaking Breitlings from simply swimming. And I mean the ones that are rated to high depths. Breitling blamed the leak on the owner failing to secure the crown, but who knows. I can see that you're not a diver by your comment. 100-110 feet is about as deep as 95% of recreational divers ever go. So the watch is overkill for most of us when we dive. It worked for me but some report problems when they get their Breitlings wet.
