Hello all, I'm new to the world of Breitling having just picked up my first one. I'm loving my new Emergency Mission but find myself still looking at more :p

I guess that means I have 'the bug'. Only question is what to get next, I'm leaning towards something like a Chrono Superocean and wearing it with a divers band as more of a sporty watch. Any thoughts?

Anyone here actually dive with theirs?

Welcome to the jungle, and congratulations!

It has been a while since I took my SO diving. Family life have directed diving towards "swimming with kids"...

I dive with my Submariner, and have dove with my Fortis once before too. Nothing wrong with taking one into the drink, as long as the peice is at least rated to 100m. 30M or 50m ratings are pretty much splash proof.

Coral, hmmm interesting. i'll have to see how that looks on my wrist along with the black one. Either way I'm interested in the rubber band unless I swap it out with the Waterbourne Dive Strap http://www.joediveramerica.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=JDA&Product_Code=WW-0412&Affiliate=froogle

I have one on my Citizen Aqualand Duplex Titanium and love it. Wether I'm using it here in SoCal with a 7mm wetsuit or the watch is on my bare skin, the strap goes through both pins so there is no way for it to accidentally fall off. I believe the strap comes in 3/4 nich and 1 inch and 4 different colors.

In2Deep,

You're not alone, my friend. I caught the bug recently and as a result I
now own two lovely lings, an Evo and a Steelfish. I heartily recommend
the Steelfish as the ultimate tool watch. It can take whatever abuse you
hand out and beg for more. Add to that the fact that it is waterproof to
2000 meters, and you've got the ideal man's watch. Enjoy your
Emergency Mission but keep the Fish in mind. :lol:

Steve
