I recently got my first breitling a steelfish on a pro 2 bracelet with a blue face. I love it and just spend most of my day at work just checking the time constantly. Big thanks for this forum got lots of valuable info around the watch before and other options before i got it, was really stuck between a omega planet ocean and the steelfish but I just found the omega lacked wrist presense and was a bit bland (just my opinion dont want to cause offense) and the steelfish had great presense and looked amazing. Almost went for the white / cream dial but i wanted it on the pro 2 and felt it looked a bit washed out (have seen the thread on here with a cream and brown strap and it looks much nicer that way), the blue dial is amazing and changes color depending on the lighting, no regrets at all. I went from a seiko perpetual calandar titanium which ive had for about 15 years so this is my first nice watch. The weight difference took a little getting use. Got it from andrew michaels and they where great not the cheapest but had one in stock, got it home and noticed a small dent on the top, sent it back and got a brand new one a week later, really happy with the service from sam and andrew. Also got a breitling hat, ear plugs and a key holder strap thing (not sure what its called), but it now hold my motorbike alarm fob and house keys when i got out riding. time wise ive worn it for 2 days and its still showing the exact same time to the second as my pc clock that i sent it off

I know you have all seen a million steelfish pics but here are mine anyway:

Excellent choice Nik, I would have gone for the blue dial myself.

Enjoy it and wear it in good health.

Nice choice. I have the same watch and absolutely love it. The dial is amazing and perfectly sets off the polished hands and markers.
