Well, got the Steelfish home today... but I am thinking of returning it. It is nice in every possible way BUT it just feels too small.
I´ll decide tomorrow.

(Maybe better to save some money and buy a Bentley instead. Or a Legende? Or Le Mans?)

Also found out that my white SA might be another 2 months away. I am getting frustrated here. The Steelfish is the second Breitling I am (possibly) getting while waiting for the white one.
Is this a new strategy form Breitling? Keep people waiting, get them crazy enough to buy other watches while waiting... well, it works.

You weren't kidding when you said big picture.

Well with dual 24's I didn't have to scroll but it was some nice Breitling porn :oops:

The SO doesn't really do it for me. And yes, anything else is going the feel small after strapping on a SA ;)

My advice? Keep the Fish as it makes a great beater/knockaround watch. That's what I use mine for.

(Obviously I don't treat it so badly that it'll get damaged, but I treat it less well than my others).

The plan was to have it as a beater when being out in the rough, concerts, etc... but it still doesnt feel right.

I am starting to lean towards a SOH 46 as a beater instead. The price is not so bad either... I will decide next week.

Well, for what it's worth, I think it looks great. I really like how the dial pattern stands out, I wish my SO did the same.

But of course, if it doesn't fit you, there's no point in keeping it.
