Hi, Could I get some opinons on this Steelfish which is for sale on E-bay in Australia. The photo's are a bit grainy which is one of the reasons I'm a bit nervous about it, that and the fact that there are alot of high quality replica's of the steelfish going around.

Thanks

Johnny

Would need better pics to be sure but I think it's OK.

Be careful with the SOS. It is an awesome watch to own and wear. Probably the best B for the money. It is also heavily faked. I have seen some fakes on here that were very convincing. Be careful.

The description lists WR to 1500m; I thought the SOS was WR to 2000m? I'm no expert, but if I were selling this watch I would have some hi-res close-up pictures. But that's just me. 8)

The watch in this auction is the 2005 42mm Steelfish which has WR of 1500m.

The 44mm X-Plus (2006) and Steelfish (2007-current) are 2000m.

On the photo is A17390 (it has red AUTOMATIC mark and arrow seconds hand tip).
Probably description mistake.
