I am a residential plumber and wear my Steelfish for work 5-6 days a week. That has been my routine for about four years but now have decided to buy a less expensive piece for the tougher days as this watch has now been discontinued. I can not say enough good things about this watch as it has taken all I have given it and never missed a beat. I don't use it as a hammer but I do wear it a lot.
Honestly, my other watches are treated very differently but I still try to give them all their time. I am lucky in that respect as I do not have a large collection.
Best health, Frank.

I purchased my Windrider - Chronomat Evolution back in 2008 and have never taken it off since. Its been through 100's of 1,000's of flight miles, gardening, swimming, 55,000 km of motorcycle touring, showering, etc. Why a Chronomat Breitling... because every second counts.

The bracelet has its hair-like scratches but only visible up close, the bezel has very small nick or two only visible up close. I only clean it with warm water and mild shampoo & polish it with a mirco-fiber cloth and shines like new for those next day meetings.

Much like a wedding ring that can be passed to next generations; I wear my watch - Trophies are kept behind glass, Live life don't watch it, live the miles don't trailer it (the bike), experience the cultures and wear the watch every day because you can....

Enjoy! :lingsrock:


:D Very wise words there. Life is so short. We should live it intensely.

It's good to hear so many are actually worn and not sitting on the shelf. I recently started a job replacing a runway and thought it only fitting that my SA should be there also. These are awesome watches.

Could not agree with you more. When you reach the age that I am I look back and wish. Hopefully you will look back and smile.
Live your life, It goes by faster than you think it could. Thanks for the post and I hope you have many years of enjoyment.
Best health, Frank.

I wear my airwolf to work...nothing rough, and my Superavenger on the weekends..

I'm perfectly happy NOT subjecting them to abuse or hard wear.

I applaud those of you who are willing to risk it, I just hope you have some reserve for repairs if you need them..


Bust a crystal and you're looking @ $500 or so..
