Hi Guys,

I just received my steelfish silver dial this evening! What a beauty!!
I am so happy! I first could't believe the colour of this watch, i only saw this watch on pictures, never in real and I must say, i didn't see any picture that came nearby the colour of the dial in real!
My first Ling was a colt automatic from 2006 also the silver dial, the new version with the arrow second hand.
I sold it to buy me this steelfish, so I can't compare anymore with the colt, but as far as i can remember (and that's my question :D ) the buckle on the colt isn't the same as this on the steelfish?! Is this correct?
I also have another question, i know it isn't usual to ask this here, but I hope I will get an answer anyway.. the B at the side of the bezel, is it place between the 55 and the lumedot? Was this also on the same place on the colt??
The colour dial on the steelfish is also different as the colt, it is a little more 'yellow', I find it much more distinguished!

thanks for any answer!
Breitling rules! :cheer:

Congrats on your new SF! The dial is somewhat cream in some light to off white in other light. Quite pleasing IMO.

The bracelet clasp should be the same - just a 20mm version versus the 18mm clasp on you Colt.

The "B" should be at the 58 minute mark on all Breitlings made after a certain date (??). It was intended to let watchmakers know the screws had to be loosened to remove the bezel as opposed to a security/conterfeit measure.
