The Breitling Watch Source Forums

I just ordered my first Breitling, a Superocean Steelfish, from George today. I won't receive it until Monday, but with his reputation throughout this forum, I'm quite confident that I will be pleased when it arrives.

George was great to deal with, and seemed like a genuinely nice guy in general. I PM'd jnelson3097 telling him that I was interested in a Steelfish, and he informed me that Govberg had 1 left. I called George, we spoke for a bit and, within a couple hours, I had a Fedex tracking number in my email inbox.

I actually PM'd FEAR first, since I kept seeing his name and jnelson3097's name all over the forum as reputable people to contact for purchases. Unfortunately, being a discontinued model, FEAR didn't have the one that I was looking for. So, with that said, thanks to both jnelson3097 and FEAR. From the feedback that I've seen, I felt confident going to either of these guys to make my purchase.

Thanks to George from Govberg for a super smooth transaction and a nice price on a great watch (although I don't have it yet, I have seen the Steelfish in person several times now, and I believe that I can get away with saying it's a great watch. ). I can't wait to get it!

I just received my watch today and felt the need to post more since I don't believe that my original post did justice to my experience purchasing from George.

First, the watch is beautiful - perhaps that isn't a good adjective for such a masculine watch, but that's the best I got.

Second, I'm really impressed with the package that I received. The box was packed within a larger box, surrounded by foam peanuts - a good, professional packing job. Along with my watch, there was magazine, a hard-cover book detailing many different brands and models of fine watches, and a hand-written thank you note along with my receipt.

I realize that these things probably didn't cost him much (or maybe they did?), and the hard-cover book is a publication of Govberg, but those things, along with the hand-written thank you note, certainly made the transaction feel more personal. George definitely gained a repeat customer the next time I'm in the market for another watch.

Thanks again, George and jnelson.

Glad to hear everything worked out, congrats again and wear the Steelfish in good health.

Congrats on finding probably one of the few remaining SFs. I've done a few deals with George, always great to work with! Any pics coming? What color did you get?

Enjoy.

Thanks! I'm in Vegas, but I'll post a few pics when I get home. I got the black dial with the SS bracelet.

Back from Vegas. Here's a couple pics.

The thickness of the watch makes it look a little bigger on my wrist in the pics than it does in person, but I do admit that 44mm is probably about the biggest watch that I could get away with wearing unless I was trying to look like a gangster rapper.
